Westwood Elementary

Did your little one come home saying, “Something weird was going on at school today…”? They saw it right! Westwood teachers and staff wore mismatched shoes, with one color or design on one foot and a completely different one on the other. So what was going on at Westwood? Ask your Wolf who they spotted wearing mismatched shoes.

Happy School Psychology Appreciation Week, Mr. Luna! Thank you for helping Westwood Wolves feel heard, supported, and ready to learn. We’re grateful for the care you bring to conversations with students, families, and teachers. Help us give Jose Luna a big Wolf Pack thank you in the comments! #SpringdaleFamily

More game-day smiles! Here are a few more photos of Westwood’s kindergarten, second, and fifth graders cheering on the Razorbacks today. A few Wolves even snuck in a power nap right in the middle of all the fun! Woo Pig Sooie!

As promised, more pictures from the Razorbacks’ basketball game!

The Wolf Pack calling the Hogs! Westwood’s kindergartners, second graders, and fifth graders took a field trip to the University of Arkansas to cheer on the Razorbacks! There’s nothing quite like hearing a whole arena call the Hogs together. Here’s a first look at the fun. Keep an eye out for more pictures from game day! #SpringdaleFamily

Calling all creative Wolves! There’s still time to submit a design for Westwood’s Yearbook Cover Contest! Families, encourage your student to finish their masterpiece and turn it in by November 6, 2026! Each entry should: ✅ Use an 8.5 × 11-inch sheet of white paper in a vertical position. ✅ Include Westwood Elementary. ✅ Feature the theme “Under Construction—great stories take time.” ✅ Include the school year 2026–2027. Let’s put that PACK creativity to work and help build a yearbook to remember!

A few more pics from today's field trip!

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but a field trip is worth a thousand discoveries! Westwood’s 4th graders took their curiosity to Crystal Bridges for a day of art, exploration, and inspiration. What a wonderful opportunity to look closely, think creatively, and see learning beyond the classroom! #Springdalefamily

Best. Day. Ever! Today was one to remember for Isler F., a second grader in Mrs. Bell’s class and a Win-A-Ride contest winner! His whole class got to join in the celebration, making his big day even more special! A big thank you to the Springdale Fire Department and Captain Pinkley for organizing this fun event and teaching students about fire safety. Thank you for giving Isler a memory he’ll treasure for e.v.e.r! #Springdalefamily

More pictures, more Friday fun! Fifth graders had the opportunity to read to second graders, sharing stories and making connections across grade levels. Such a sweet way for older Wolves to lead and younger Wolves to enjoy a good book! Enjoy a few more moments from Friday’s fun-filled day! #Springdalefamily

Fifth graders rolled up their sleeves for a campus beautification project, helping make Westwood a more welcoming place for everyone! Thank you, fifth graders, for taking care of your school and showing that leadership comes through service. #Springdalefamily

From little listeners to big-kid readers! Fifth graders visited Mrs. Forrester’s kindergarten class to share stories with some of the youngest Wolves. For several, it was a sweet return to the very classroom where they were kindergarten students themselves! What a special full-circle moment—back in a familiar place, this time with a book to read and younger friends looking up to them. #SpringdaleFamily
