Dear Students, Parents and Guardians: Welcome to Westfield Intermediate School. Our goal is to provide the highest quality learning environment possible for our students. The middle school provides a balanced program to meet the physical, social, emotional, and academic needs of our students. As a student, you will be encouraged to be independent and self-directed. You can expect to be treated fairly, provided a safe environment in an atmosphere of trust and mutual respect. You will be challenged to reach your greatest potential so that you will be a productive, creative, and responsible member of society. To help you become familiar with your school, we have developed this student & parent handbook. It contains procedures, attendance, and discipline policies that are used. Read this handbook carefully so you will know what is expected of you. It is one of your responsibilities. If you have any questions about the contents, please ask one of your teachers or guidance counselors. It is important for families to know what goes on at the middle school. We encourage a firm avenue of communication between school and home. We invite you to become involved in your child's education. You may want to join the Parent-Teacher Advisory Committee or run for a seat on our School Council. You may wish to help out with a school activity or volunteer in the school library. Your involvement in any way is important to your child's education. Parents/guardians are always welcome at the intermediate school. We need your support. We wish both students and parents/guardians alike a very successful year. Gregory Miller, Principal Jennifer Chapin, Assistant Principal Shawn Czurchra, Assistant Principal
