Principal's Message
Welcome back to the 2025-2026 School Year at West Wind Computer Science Magnet School!
Our theme for the school year is
“Your Adventure Starts Here!”
West Wind is committed to providing a guaranteed and viable curriculum to all students. This is rooted in what is best for our students and what is right! Our teachers work collaboratively to provide standards-based, rigorous lessons that will challenge students and meet the demands of the curriculum. Our PE program will be continuing this year. Our wonderful coding program is continuing this year and we are excited to be expanding some of the lessons and projects the kids will be learning and creating. Students will also participate in creating artwork with our partner in the arts, Jodee Luna Arts.
Over the upcoming weeks, we will start putting out more information about the beginning of the school year. Our front office is open daily to answer questions and support you and your child. We would like to welcome some new teachers to our campus this year. While they are not new to teaching, they are new to our campus. Please join us in welcoming them to the West Wind Wildcat family!

We are always looking for parents/guardians to partner with us and we have many ways you can help. There will be an opportunity to meet some of our PTA Executive Board as well as staff to help those interested in signing up for a variety of committees. We value your input and encourage you to consider joining one or more of the following committees:
School Site Council (SSC)
English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC)
African American Advisory Committee (AAAC)
Parenting Partners Group
Parent and Teacher Association (PTA)
**We will have a school-wide PTA Membership Drive at the beginning of the school year.
I am excited to share with you our new and updated mascot! Willy is still a Wildcat but has a new look.
Mission Statement: West Wind Elementary School is committed to educational excellence, empowering all young people to reach their full potential. Our school, in partnership with the community, will prepare students for the future as responsible citizens and lifelong learners.
