Westmont News
Our students are making headlines, and we want to share all the great news with you. We will keep this page updated with important announcements, news stories, and student shout-outs. Please check back often, and help us celebrate our students’ many achievements.
We hope to see you at the Westmont Elementary book fair February 10 through 13. Students will have the opportunity to shop the book fair during school hours.
Start going through your vehicles, bags, and furniture to look for pennies! Penny Wars is heading to Westmont Elementary during the week of January 27 through 31. More details to come.
It is time to begin the process of gathering information on upcoming kindergarten students for the 2025–2026 school year. If you have a child, or know of a child who will turn 5 prior to July 31, 2025, please contact the Westmont office at (402) 895-9602. You may also send an email to June Jordening.
Kindergarten round up is typically scheduled for the end of April or first part of May. That date will be coming out in the next few weeks. The round up consists of two sessions, an a.m. and a p.m. session. Your child will be invited to one of these. You will receive a letter, or email, several weeks in advance letting you know which session your child has been assigned to.
A parent meeting will be held the evening before to help you understand the process and answer any questions you may have.
Option enrollment applications are still being accepted. If you do not live in the Springfield Platteview School District, but would like your child/children to attend Westmont, please contact our District Office at (402) 592-1300 for additional information and an application.
To help you begin the process, a birth certificate, immunization record, and a physical will be needed prior to your child starting kindergarten. The physical must be within six months of the start of school. If you have any questions, please contact the Westmont Elementary office.
Report cards for the second quarter have been sent home with students. Please take some time to look them over. If you have any questions, please contact your child’s teacher.
Congratulations to our Westmont Wildcat students who were recognized for being consistently kind during November: Oliver Smith, Evie Sandell, Harper Bohrer, Carter Collins, Carina Mangelsen, Dalton Hohnfield, Reese Neville, Theo Moustakes, Addison Peters, Addie Ryan, Joseph Craig, Macent Bohnenkamp, Kade Rubenthaler, Brook Retzlaff, and Gunner Eason.
We are so grateful for the kind words and actions of others; kindness is one of our Westmont values. We are also thankful to Godfather's Pizza at 180th and Q as they are providing free pizza reward coupons and display signs. We encourage you to place the signs in windows, but if you want to come pick up a yard stake, you are welcome to do so.
Please go eat at Godfather's and thank them for the wonderful program they are providing for us this year!
