Westlake Reflections

Stigma can negatively influence an individual's mental health when it prevents them from seeking treatment, especially with youth. Check out this week's blog.  Let's talk about ways we can take care of our mental health and reduce stigma. Normalizing mental illness and disorders can not only help others become educated, but can help people get the help they need! 

Senior parents: remind your seniors that counselors are available to answer their college application questions via Zoom every Tuesday and Thursday morning and afternoon (see the schedule at the bottom of this page).  We are also happy to meet with students individually.  Necessary steps seniors must take:

• Complete the application.
• Request transcript in Naviance.
• Request teacher recommendation letters in Naviance (after checking with the teacher first to see if they can write the letter).
• If a counselor letter is required, both student and a parent must complete a questionnaire (found on the lower left of this page).
• Essay help will be available through English teachers as well.

The PSAT will be given at Westlake January 26, 2021.

• Sophomores are automatically registered; any student who does NOT want to take the PSAT can opt-out here (deadline to opt-out is January 8, 2021).
• Juniors can register/pay in TotalRegistration through December 18.  The cost is $40 (which increases to $75 on December 8).

HAVING A GOOD TIME!

Ready or not, graduation is coming May 24, 2021 and so is the biggest party of the year!

Project Graduation immediately follows the graduation ceremony and is without a doubt an amazing event that’s only possible with help from the entire community.

If you’ve got a senior, we’ve got a volunteer spot for you.

If you’ve got a junior, this is a great chance to pay it forward.

It’s all hands on deck for surviving this year!

Registration and website are open at www.westlakepg.com.
