We’re looking for volunteers to share about their careers and inspire our students!
On Friday, October 30, come talk with our Wildcats about your job, what you do, how you got started, and why you love what you do. Our students would love to hear from you!
Interested in being a Career Day presenter? Please contact Stephanie Redding at stephanie.redding@dalton.k12.ga.us.




Our Wildcats are excited to share what they learned and put their new knowledge into action to help make our school and community a little greener! ♻️🐾

📣 We want to hear from our students!
The 2026 Believe Greater Dalton Community Survey is now open, and our students have an important role in helping shape what comes next for our community.
Students, please take a few minutes to share your voice. Families, we encourage you to ask your student to participate!
The survey takes approximately five minutes, responses are anonymous, and participants may enter to win one of five $100 Visa gift cards.
Take the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BGD2026
Your voice matters. Let’s help build the future of Greater Dalton—together!











Together, they practiced reading, measurements, sequencing, and communication skills while making and enjoying edible cookie dough and cookies! 🍪❤️









At the end students made their own sandwiches and enjoyed them!







A huge thank you to Cate Cody, a former Westwood student, for her generous donation! As part of a service project, Cate chose to give back to her former elementary school and make a difference in the lives of current Wildcats. 🐾
We are so proud of our students and grateful for Wildcats who continue to give back to their Westwood family!





Students used their senses to explore and describe the popcorn, what they saw, heard, smelled, tasted, and felt. They had so much fun being little scientists and sharing their observations!


Students will complete their learning at home and will complete their virtual learning package sent home in their folders or access their assignments through Canvas.
Classes will resume on Tuesday, September 29. 🐾❤️

Join us September 29–October 2 as we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month with a fun week of Dress-Up Days!
We’re excited to celebrate the cultures, traditions, and diversity that make our Westwood family so special. We can’t wait to see our Wildcats participate and show their spirit all week long!










We got spirit, yes we do. We got spirit, how about you? 🐾🎉
Show your Wildcat spirit this Friday and wear RED to celebrate DHS Homecoming! ❤️
