Westerly School

We invite parents to participate in the School life to better understand and support their child’s learning experiences -- perhaps by being involved in the classroom, attending School events, and volunteering at events.  Volunteering allows opportunities to get to know other parents, to stay involved with your student’s educational activities, and to support Westerly at the same time.  We also encourage grandparents, alumni, and alumni parents to participate and attend school events such as the music performances, athletic events and Graduation. Thank you for everyone who has volunteered in the past, continues to volunteer, and who will lend a hand in the future. If you would like to know more information on ways to get involved, please email the Director of Advancement at cangulo@westerly.com
