The arts spark creativity, build confidence, and give students a voice. This week, we celebrate the impact of music, theatre, visual arts, and dance in our schools. #SBISDProud #NationalArtsInEducationWeek
Dot Day Tuesday 9/15/26
Twenty-five years later, we remember.
Today, we honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and the bravery of the first responders and everyday heroes who answered the call.
We remember their courage, sacrifice and service, and reflect on the unity and resilience that followed. #NeverForget #PatriotDay #SBISDProud

Happy first day of school to all Westwood Lions parents. Please have your students bring their old ID with them. This will help students go through the breakfast line faster, and lunch line. We will be giving new IDs today, but it would be very helpful if you can send them with their old ID, thank you for your help with this.
Feliz primer día de clases a todos los padres de los Westwood Lions. Por favor, pidan a sus hijos que traigan consigo su antigua tarjeta de identificación. Esto les ayudará a agilizar el paso por las filas del desayuno y del almuerzo. Hoy entregaremos nuevas identificaciones, pero sería de gran ayuda que los alumnos trajeran las anteriores; gracias por su colaboración.
🎒💛 School starts tomorrow, SBISD!
As students head back to school, let’s all do our part to help make the first day a safe one.
🚗 Slow down and stay alert in school zones.
🚌 Stop for school buses when lights are flashing and the stop sign is extended.
🚸 Watch for students in crosswalks and near bus stops.
📵 Put the phone down and keep your attention on the road.
⏰ Give yourself extra time. Arrival and dismissal may take a little longer during the first few days.
👮 Follow directions from crossing guards, SBISD Police and campus staff.
Whether you’re driving, walking, biking or riding the bus, a little extra patience and attention can make a big difference.
Let’s start the school year safely, SBISD! 💙💛 #SBISDProud #BackToSchool
