Thank you, Westlake! We are extremely appreciative of the tremendous support you show for our students. This past school year Westlake City Schools’ students continued to demonstrate the highest levels of excellence in academics, the arts, service and athletics because of hard work, the support of an exceptional staff and our community’s insistence on excellence being the standard. Resultantly, for the 12th consecutive year, our students performed at a level where the state will recognize the district as Excellent on the State Report Card. W We are truly grateful for the incredible community involvement in various aspects of our school district. You helped us develop a solution to address our facility challenges and supported that vision with the passage of a bond issue in May. We are excited about beginning Phase I of the Master Facilities Plan and the opportunities this will provide our students. A new three-year Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP) was developed this summer to set a vision for the future. More than 120 stakeholders took part in an Education Summit to provide input on the plan, including members of our Chamber of Commerce, civic organizations, higher education institutions, city leaders, Board of Education members, parents, staff and students. We look forward to reaching the goals set within the strategic plan to build on our tradition of excellence. W Fiscal responsibility continues to be a district emphasis. The Westlake City Schools were recognized for excellence in financial reporting for the 17th consecutive year. For the second consecutive year the treasurer’s office and district were recognized by the State Auditor for exceptional reporting and financial processes with a perfect audit. The district continued to secure grants and partnerships to aid in achieving goals as well. An additional $30,000 was awarded to the district for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) programming and a number of regional businesses have provided our students opportunities for internships and real problem solving projects. Additionally, the Westlake Schools’ bond rating was upgraded from Aa2 to Aa1 by Moody’s Investor Service, placing the district one notch away from the highest quality Aaa rating. Westlake is one of 23 Ohio local school districts rated in this category, placing Westlake in the top 4% of all Ohio schools. We recognize it is critical that our schools provide an outstanding value to the community. W We hope you use this calendar to remain engaged with your schools and to find helpful information. We are thankful for the opportunity to see the Mission of Excellence is a reality in Westlake and look forward to another great school year! Daniel J.

We thank you for this consistent support which will allow our students success well beyond their high school years. • The mission of excellence that the Westlake City School District brings to all aspects of district operations from academic programs to financial reporting; from athletics to strategic planning; serves as the district’s guide for the high standards expected by our community. Our 12th consecutive ranking of “Excellent” on the state report card is an accomplishment that could only be achieved through the dedication of district administrators, teachers and staff members. • Your financial support, with the recent passage of Issue 14, provides another important investment in our school district and our students’ learning. We thank our community for making our students a priority and are humbled by the trust you have shown in our ability to protect your financial investment in your schools. The passage of Phase I of our Master Facilities Plan in May 2010 is the first phase of a long-range plan to fully address the facility needs at all of the district’s school buildings. When complete, our schools will fully support the exceptional educational program we strive to offer all students. • We also want to thank the hundreds of community members from all segments of our city who helped to develop the Master Facilities Plan and who crafted an exceptional campaign to convey our needs. Through our website, WHBS-TV, school and district newsletters, local media and other avenues of communication we will keep our community informed of our progress and continue to solicit community input regarding this exciting building project. • Another phase of our strategic planning process involved an Educational Summit that brought together a diverse group of stakeholders to dialogue about what it means to offer a world-class education. Community, business, student and school leaders offered perspectives on a three-year Continuous Improvement Plan the district will use as a compass in guiding our decision-making process. • The school year was also characterized by numerous achievements, both organizationally and academically. Below is a snapshot of the year in review: • For the second consecutive year the district achieved a “perfect audit” from the State Auditor • Our bond rating was upwardly shifted to Aa1 by Moody’s Investment Services, placing Westlake in the top 4% of all Ohio schools • The district achieved its 17th consecutive financial reporting award for the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report • Westlake had two national Gold Key winners in the 2010 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition Please Note: • Two Parkside Intermediate School students claimed one of 24 regional awards in the Changes may have occurred Toshiba/National Science Teachers Association ExploraVision National Science Competition since the printing of this calendar. • A group of Lee Burneson Middle School students traveled to Kenya to collaborate with Maasai Please confirm all events at children on original music, art and science projects www.wlake.org • Four Westlake High School Engineering & Technology Education Department students won state champion titles at the Ohio Technology & Engineering Educators Association state conference school exhibits competition • Our bands and orchestras continued to receive top ratings in regional, state and national competitions We appreciate the community’s support in celebrating our successes and when making tough decisions. We count on that Westlake Board of Education: (l to r) Nate Cross, foundation to maintain our excellence. Most importantly, we truly appreciate your continued investment in the Westlake City President Carol Winter, Vice President Timothy School District - the cornerstone of our great community!

Please confirm all events at With passage of Phase I of the Master Facilities Plan, the Westlake Schools can move forward on a much-needed building project that will include: www.wlake.org • Renovating and adding space at Lee Burneson Middle School to turn it into an intermediate school for grades 5-6. Estimated completion: Winter 2013/2014. • Building a new middle school for grades 7-8 near the existing building. Estimated completion: Winter 2012/2013. • Rebuilding an extensive portion of Westlake High School while preserving the 2005 additions. Estimated completion: Fall 2013. Complete Sports Schedules can be found online at www.wlake.org Phase II will involve consolidation through renovating the existing Parkside Intermediate School into a PreK-4 building, and building two new elementary schools. This will be revisited with the community before being placed on the ballot. It is important to note the district will have a tax millage drop-off in 2017 that potentially would equal the cost of implementing Phase II, amounting to a tax neutral situation for the community. 1 LBMS Washington, D.C., trip 2 WHS Commencement Rehearsal & Breakfast . . .8am Preschool Parent/Teacher Conferences 5 6 WHS Semester Exams/Early Release Hilliard 4th grade recognition Preschool Parent/Teacher Conferences Demons Club meeting . . .7pm 12 13 Camp LINK begins 19 20 Father’s Day 26 7 Dover 4th grade recognition . . . . . . . . . . .9am Parkside 6th grade recognition . . . . . . . . .1:15pm WHS Semester Exams/Early Release Parkside PTA meeting . . .7pm 14 8 WHS Semester Exams/ Early Release Hilliard/Holy Lane/Bassett Student Recognition Assemblies . . . . . . . . . . .9am LBMS 8th grade graduation Parkside Field Day Last day of school 15 Bassett Field Day . . . .8:30am Dover PTA Meeting . .9:30am Bassett PTA meeting . . . .7pm 9 10 Teacher Records Day 16 28 WHS Commencement . . . . .3:30pm 11 ACT testing at WHS 17 18 Hilliard Market Day . .10:15am 22 23 29 30 First Day of Summer 27 Parkside 6th grade farewell party . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .7pm Flag Day 21 4 Dover Field Day Holly Lane field day WHS Spring Sports Awards . . . . . . . . . . . . . .6pm 3 24 25 Our Students Average daily enrollment = 3,790 Student attendance rate = 95.8% Graduation rate = 98.2% Mean ACT score = 24 Mean SAT score = 1104 Students graduating with an honors diploma = 42.8% Number of graduates participating in AP tests = 205 Percent of graduates with an AP score of 3 or above = 48.6% Students with disabilities = 16.7% Economically disadvantaged students = 10.6% Limited English Proficient students = 1.9% Complete Sports Schedules can be found online at www.wlake.org *FY 2009 data from Ohio Department of Education Please Note: Changes may have occurred since the printing of this calendar.
