MISSION: In an effort to create lifelong learners, the staff at Westridge Elementary School, working closely with parents and the community, strives to realize each child’s fullest potential in the areas of personal, social, intellectual, emotional, and physical development.

Welcome to Westridge!
It is with immense joy and excitement that I extend a warm welcome to you all as we embark on a new school year at Westridge Elementary! Westridge is a special place where our dedicated team of educators and staff serves approximately 330 students each day in the heart of Elkhorn.

At Westridge, our mission is simple: to meet the needs of all students. We firmly believe that every child is unique, with individual strengths, learning styles, and aspirations. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to creating a nurturing and dynamic learning environment where each student feels valued, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential. We pride ourselves on tailoring our approach to ensure every student thrives academically, socially, and emotionally.

We also know that the most successful educational journeys are built on strong partnerships. That’s why collaboration is at the heart of everything we do. We encourage open communication and active engagement between students, teachers, and staff. Furthermore, we deeply value our parent partnerships. Parent involvement and support are crucial to our success and to the vibrancy of our school community.

I am truly honored to serve as the Westridge Elementary principal and am looking forward to a year filled with discovery, growth, and shared accomplishments. If you have any questions, please feel free to email me by clicking here or call Westridge at 402-289-2559.
