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

At Westview, we believe that every child possesses unique strengths just waiting to be discovered and cultivated. Whether it is a student's curiosity, creativity, empathy, perseverance, or leadership, those are the superpowers that will launch their learning to new heights. Our mission is to create a safe, supportive, and empowering environment where students can grow academically, emotionally, and socially.

This year, we will champion:

· Innovative Learning: Activating minds through engaging lessons and critical thinking.

· Positive Connections: Building a culture of kindness and collaboration.

· Purposeful Goals: Encouraging every student to set high expectations for themselves—and soar above them.

As we embark on this adventure, I invite you to partner with us in unlocking every student’s full potential. Let us celebrate victories, overcome challenges, and fly higher together—because here at Westview, we do not just dream about success…we leap toward it in capes and confidence.

It is with great excitement and deep gratitude that I introduce myself as the new Assistant Principal of Westview K-8 for the upcoming school year. I am honored to join a community that is dedicated to excellence, growth, and the success of every student.

With over 30 years in the field of education, I bring a passion for teaching and learning, along with a strong commitment to building positive school cultures where students and staff thrive. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of serving as a strategic leader and professional trainer, working alongside educators and community partners to create meaningful, lasting impact.

I believe in the power of collaboration and bring a proven track record of building high-performing teams, driving organizational initiatives, and developing systems that improve both performance and stakeholder outcomes. My work has centered on translating complex ideas into actionable strategies that support teachers, engage students, and strengthen partnerships with families and the broader community.

At the core of my leadership is a commitment to:

• Data-driven decision-making to guide instruction and improve student outcomes

• Coaching and professional development that empowers educators to grow and excel

• Strong partnerships that foster trust, communication, and shared responsibility

• Operational effectiveness and accountability to ensure every student receives the support they need to succeed

I am passionate about creating environments where every child feels seen, valued, and inspired to reach their full potential. I also believe deeply in supporting and developing educators through collaboration, coaching, and continuous learning, as they are the heart of our schools.

As we begin this new school year, I look forward to partnering with you—our families, staff, and community—to build Westview’s strong foundation and continue moving forward with purpose, excellence, and pride.

Thank you for the warm welcome I have already received. I am eager to connect with each of you and to work together in making this a successful and rewarding school year for all.
