Packets are available now.

Preschool Registration Packets are Available in the Elementary Office

Again this year the Preschool will not have a traditional in-person meeting. Packets are available in the elementary office and must be completed to ensure your student has a spot in the program. During the week of May 24-28, our teachers and principal are available to give a tour of the rooms and answer individual questions. To arrange a time please send an email to jlutt@wcsdrebels.com.

The Westwood Community School District, as part of the State-Wide Voluntary Preschool Program, offers free preschool for children who turn four years old on or before September 15, 2021.

This website is a collaboration of Iowa’s Area Education Agencies and was built and maintained through funding from the Iowa Legislature. Iowa’s AEAs are committed to supporting schools in promoting healthy learning environments that address the social, emotional, behavioral, and mental health well-being of students. Well-being is a sustainable state of positive mood and attitude, resilience, and satisfaction with self, relationships, and experiences. When these supports are in place, students typically have fewer disciplinary issues, can focus more on school work, and develop skills that translate to a life well-lived.
