Westlake Elementary School PTA

 

Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year!

Dear Westlake Elementary Parents, Guardians, and Families,

Welcome to another exciting year at Westlake Elementary! My name is Stafani Sandoval, and I am truly honored to serve as your Westlake Elementary PTA President for the 2026–2027 school year.

As a proud parent of two WES students, I know firsthand what makes our school so special. WES is more than just a school; it's a community where students are encouraged to learn, families are welcomed as partners, and teachers and staff go above and beyond to help every child succeed. I am incredibly excited to work alongside all of you to continue building a positive, connected, and supportive environment for our children.

The WES PTA exists because of the incredible partnership between our families, educators, staff, and community. Together with the Westlake City School District, we strive to enrich every student's educational experience by providing programs, events, educational resources, and opportunities that create lasting memories and strengthen our school community.

Thanks to the generosity of our families and supporters, the PTA is able to provide so much more than what the school budget alone can cover. From family events and student enrichment programs to classroom support, teacher appreciation, educational resources, and community-building activities, every PTA initiative is designed with one goal in mind: helping every Westlake student thrive.

As we begin this new school year, I invite every family to become part of the WES PTA. Whether you become a member, have a few hours to volunteer, attend a meeting, make a donation, or simply stay informed, your involvement truly makes a difference. Every family has something valuable to contribute, and together we can make this our best year yet.

Ways to Get Involved

Become a WES PTA Member

Membership is one of the easiest and most impactful ways to support our school. No experience is necessary, and joining the PTA does not require volunteering or taking on additional responsibilities unless you choose to. As a member, you'll have a voice in PTA decisions, vote on important initiatives, and help shape the programs and funding that directly benefit our students.

Make a Direct Donation

Every contribution—large or small—helps provide meaningful opportunities for our students. Donations support educational programs, classroom needs, family events, teacher appreciation, and many of the special experiences that make Westlake such an incredible place to learn and grow.
 

Attend PTA Membership Meetings

Your ideas matter! Join us as we discuss upcoming events, school initiatives, and ways we can continue supporting our students and staff. Meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month at 7:00 p.m. in the WES Cafeteria.
Children are always welcome, and virtual attendance options will be available whenever possible. Meeting reminders and additional details will be shared through our PTA communications.

I believe the strongest schools are built when families, teachers, staff, and students work together. My goal this year is to continue fostering a welcoming, inclusive PTA where every family feels connected, informed, and empowered to make a difference.

Whether you're a returning family or joining Westlake for the very first time, we're so glad you're here. I encourage you to get involved in whatever way works best for your family. Together, we'll create unforgettable experiences, celebrate our students, support our teachers, and continue making Westlake Elementary an extraordinary place to learn and grow.

On behalf of the entire WES PTA Board, welcome to the 2026–2027 school year! We can't wait to work alongside you and make this an incredible year!
