My name is Tom Larson.  I am proud to serve as the principal of Westwood Intermediate.  Our mission is to prepare every student for middle school. 

 

Watching our fourth and fifth graders radiate excitement for learning I try to envision their future.  With technology advances and global connections,  I know they will face a much different world than the one you and I grew up in.  They will enter jobs that don't even exist yet and face problems that we don't know are problems. 

 

It can seem overwhelming, but then I consider the amazing staff here and our core beliefs that guide our work.

 

We believe:

Collectively, we are all invested in the future and to each individual student.  I know I will do my part to ensure that our beliefs are put into practice. 

 

I know you will find Westwood to be a caring environment for students to learn.  Our staff is high quality and work together on a daily basis so all students are making the growth they need to be successful and  prepared for the future not only in reading and math but problem solving, creativity and communicating with others. 

 

I would welcome the opportunity to meet with you regarding your child's education and how we can meet his or her needs.  Feel free to give me a call to schedule a tour or to answer any questions you may have. 

 

Sincerely,

 

Tom Larson

Principal
