Westview K-8 School

Greetings Bronco Families,

I am honored and privileged to serve as the third-year principal of Westview PK-8 and to ensure student learning, academic support, family and community partnerships for the 2025-2026 academic school year.

We are continuing to grow at Westview PK-8. We are excited about all the possibilities this school year and to celebrate many successes. We offer almost all sports in our athletic program, we continue to progress in academic achievement, we employ top of the line medical health and support professionals for our most fragile students, and we are soaring to greater heights in our ELA and mathematics classrooms. All campus renovations are complete, and you can be assured that all students are in a secure, loving and student-centric atmosphere that will nurture and encourage the strengths possessed by all, to emerge and thrive with excellence. We invite and encourage your involvement in the learning and development of your child and look forward to connecting with each opportunity.

Instructionally, we are more focused than ever! Passionate and highly qualified teachers and support staff are dedicated to extracting the skills and expanding the knowledge your child possesses. Our top priorities for this academic school year are:

1)      Focus on literacy school wide

2)      Ensure the implementation of intervention & data monitoring

3)      Ensure consistent standards-aligned instruction

4)      Significantly reduce the number of days students are truant or absent

Evidence-based instructional materials and strategies have a significant effect on improving student outcomes. Providing high-quality, explicit instruction in the core content areas is a key factor in preventing learning difficulties. We are committed to servicing the” whole child.”

We are in the pursuit of excellence and that heavily involves you. Together, all things are possible and as we began another year at the “View”, we offer our commitment to communicate and embrace each encounter with you.

We will “unleash our power and soar” with all experiences this year!

In the best interest of children,

Mr. Jamie Griffin

Very Proud Principal
