Westdale Middle School’s students and staff come from all over the world. Westdale hosts a variety of special programs, including a World Language Immersion Program, a Gifted and Talented Program, a Great Scholars Program, and programs for Exceptional Students. Despite the diversity of our programs, we pride ourselves on being one school where everyone comes together. Academics and diversity are key opportunities that allow our students to take more than 10 different high school credit courses. We have added a service learning component and are studying the question, “What does it mean to be a global citizen?” Our extensive elective offerings include French, Spanish, Mandarin, aquaponics, art, drama, choir, band, strings, robotics, drones, astronomy, forensics, engineering design and computer science.
Personal statement coming soon.
The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is advising families that school bus transportation may experience delays during the Friday afternoon commute home because of weather and road conditions across the parish. Transportation staff members are working to safely transport students while navigating possible heavy traffic, flooded areas and impacted roadways caused by
changing weather conditions.
District officials said student safety remains the top priority as drivers continue routes throughout the parish. The district appreciates the understanding and cooperation of families and the community during the weather event.
