Native species are those that occur in the region in which they evolved. Plants evolve over geologic time in response to physical and biotic processes characteristic of a region: the climate, soils, timing of rainfall, drought, and frost; and interactions with the other species inhabiting the local community. Thus native plants possess certain traits that make them uniquely adapted to local conditions, providing a practical and ecologically valuable alternative for landscaping, conservation and restoration projects, and as livestock forage.

Explore this NOAA resource to learn facts related to coastal hazards.
United States Geological Survey Coastal Change Hazards
Forecasts of sea level rise and increased hurricane activity suggest that our nation's coastlines are becoming increasingly vulnerable to the powerful forces of the ocean. Along our coasts, rising sea levels expose higher locations not usually subjected to the power of the sea and to the erosive forces of waves and currents. Explore this USGS site to learn more about shoreline and coastal vulnerability as well as potential hurricane and extreme storm impacts.
Blue Green Infrastructure is a broad concept of the ecological and human life support systems that incorporate natural and built landscapes.

Honda Civic Car Parts
Posted on | March 25, 2012 | Comments Off
Honda Civic Car Parts
As you probably know, Civic is one of the major Japanese cars, and it has won more than a few accolades worldwide over its performance. This is one of the most popular cars in the world, and almost every car dealership, even the used ones worldwide will have a Honda Civic or two.
Finding parts for your Honda Civic, whether you have a 2001, 2002, 2003, or later model should be relatively easy. The thing to remember about finding Honda civic car parts is that it will be insanely easy due to a few rather obvious points. First of all, millions of these cars have been owned worldwide, which means there will always be plenty of spare parts. The second thing to remember about Civic parts is that due to their popularity, you will be able to find them virtually anywhere.
There are a number of decent places that you might search for Honda Civic parts, one of which would be the internet.
There are several auction sites out there that will have the car parts you need if you so desire them and you will find this out quite easily. Before you buy anything from an auction site however it would be a good idea to make sure that you're buying something worthwhile. For instance if you are buying a used part, check the number of miles on it, and make sure that it is acceptable condition.
Another option you will have as far as obtaining parts would be to look for aftermarket items. These items are typically brand new but much cheaper than buying the parts from the dealer or from your local store. Before you attempt to make a purchase of this nature however, there are a few things you will need to consider.
First of all, do the Honda Civic car parts in question come with any type of a warranty? If not, then you're most certainly going to want to move on simply because car parts do not last, and if you run into one that fails, the last thing you want is to find yourself faced with buying the same part again.
Keep in mind that some parts, such as alternators will require a charged battery because alternators are not made to charge your battery.
The most obvious method of purchasing Honda Civic parts would be to simply go to the dealer. It should be noted that buying these will be more expensive, though they will typically come with a warranty which makes them a better choice. Whether or not you invest in such parts is up to you, but your job is to ensure that you have the best Honda Civic parts available to you at all times!

McGonegal proposes school cuts
Date: May 19, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
Manatee County Public School's Superintendent Tim McGonegal recommended $14 million in cuts for the 2009-10 school year at the Manatee County School Board meeting last night.
McGonegal's 30-item proposal included eliminating assistant principals in schools that have fewer than 575 students, 36 reading coaches throughout the district and 50 positions at the district office. And although music and art classes would not be affects, some other electives, including physical education, could be lost.
Furthermore, McGonegal proposed a four-day furlough for employees and converting Duette Elementary into a contract site.
McGonegal estimates the cuts would save about $14.1 million. He also anticipates another $14 million from the federal stimulus.
The district originally had anticipated a cut of $20 million, but now, it will face a reduction of $25 million over the next three years. The change can be attributed to several factors, including funding from the federal stimulus package and that the state allowed school districts to transfer money from their capital funds to their operation funds.
"Stakeholders concurred that the district must continue to maintain a high quality of education for our students," McGonegal said. "I am not recommending across the board salary reductions or school closings and there will be no reduction in school resource officers."
McGonegal said the input he's received from the community through Town Hall meetings and budget committee meetings, among other venues, over the last six months has been invaluable in forming his recommendation.
The Manatee County School Board will vote on the budget cuts at its June 8 meeting.

If this Works, Facebook Stock Could be the "Buy of the Decade"
Facebook stock is one of the most controversial stocks in existence today.
With one billion users, investors have been waiting to see if Facebook's business model can pay off, especially after its IPO tanked.
Today, Money Morning's own e-commerce director, Bret Holmes, is going to give you the inside scoop on Facebook stock. Not some theoretical financial analysis, but what the future looks like for Facebook, from a guy who understands e-commerce and can explain how Facebook stock could be the "buy of the decade" for investors.Click here to watch the interview.

What is Facebook Home – And Will it Do Anything for Facebook Stock?
The much anticipated announcement from Facebook today (Thursday) has left us investors with two questions.
The first, what is Facebook Home?
The second, is this finally the development that CEO Mark Zuckerberg needs to rally investors behind Facebook stock, and lift it back above its IPO price of $38?
The social-networking giant Thursday unveiled Facebook Home, a customized homescreen for Android smartphones. Facebook Home highlights all things Facebook - a dream come true for anyone who loves the social media tool.

Facebook Stock Rises Despite These 852 Million Reasons to Fall
It's difficult to think that an additional 852 million shares of Facebook stock hitting the market wouldn't weigh on the already struggling share price.
That's why, for the third time in nearly as many months, Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB) on Wednesday braced for what could have been the largest selling spree yet to hit the social networking giant.
Scores of early investors and employees were at liberty to sell 778 million shares. Another 31 million in restricted stock, awarded to employees who joined the Menlo Park, CA-based company prior to 2011, were also unbound, along with 48 million shares held by former employees.
The staggering number is almost equal to Facebook's existing 921 million share float, according to data from the company's most current filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
But, a strange thing happened.

Facebook Stock Hits New Low, So What Now for Mark Zuckerberg?
Since Facebook's (Nasdaq: FB) hugely hyped and highly anticipated initial public offering on May 18 at $38, shares have been sliced in half, hitting a low of $19.01 in trading today (Friday).
Now, chatter is swirling that CEO Mark Zuckerberg should step down and let a more experienced executive take the helm.
"There is a growing sense that Mark Zuckerberg, talented though he may be, is in over his hoodies as CEO of a multibillion-dollar public company," Sam Hamadeh, head of research firm PrivCo, told the Los Angeles Times. "While in many cases a company founder can, and does, grow into the job, things are happening so quickly that there is precious little time here for Zuckerberg to do that."
Fueling the sentiment is Facebook's steady descent since its calamitous IPO. On Thursday, as the first lockup period ended, which allowed early investors and venture capitalists to unburden their portfolio of battered shares, the stock hit a fresh low.
Facebook's shares closed Thursday at $19.87, a far cry from its debut price and peak of $45 a share.

Facebook Earnings Report Gives Investors Zero Reasons to Stick Around
The first Facebook earnings report since the company went public was released today (Thursday), and the numbers came in right in line with lowered, underwhelming expectations.
Facebook met earnings per share estimates of 12 cents on revenue of $1.18 billion. Analysts had expected EPS of 12 cents on revenue of $1.16 billion.
Estimates had been slashed several times and many experts did not think Facebook (Nasdaq: FB) would miss these lowered estimates - especially after is horrible IPO already delivered a colossal disappointment.
But the fact that earnings forecasts were so low made the fact that the company beat them a non-event.
"These earnings are meh," one equities analyst told Business Insider.
Another problem with the earnings report: There were no real clues as to how Facebook was ever going to make real money.
Facebook has had a hard time turning users into profits as more people use Facebook via mobile, an area Facebook has yet to monetize - and a key issue investors want addressed in today's earnings call.
"Everything is moving toward mobile," Debra Williamson, an analyst at eMarketer, told USA Today. "Gaining revenue from mobile and improving that experience are two things that Facebook absolutely has to focus on in coming years."
Reports surfaced Thursday that Facebook hired a team of former Apple Inc. (Nasdaq: AAPL) employees to completely redesign the Facebook iPhone app, which will no doubt include some of its new advertising plans. The aim is to generate more revenue from its growing mobile user base.
But it's still unclear whether or not Facebook can do that.

Will a Weak Facebook Earnings Report Open Doors for these Competitors?
We know investors will want a few key details from today's Facebook earnings report, like how much more user growth the site expects, if it can increase ad sales and how it'll tackle mobile usage.
But something people haven't questioned as much is if there are any competitors lurking in the shadows that could eat away at Facebook's online presence.
Turns out Facebook has reason to be concerned.
MarketWatch's David Weidner last week addressed some competition creeping into Facebook's world. In his article "Here's the app that could kill Facebook," Weidner detailed how an up-and-coming app could actually threaten Facebook's hold on social networking.
Tack this on to the list of reasons to avoid Facebook stock - in case you needed any more.
Path: A Facebook Threat?The app in question is called Path.

Three Reasons the Facebook Earnings Report Will Disappoint
The Facebook earnings report for Q2 will be released Thursday after market close - meaning investors have a chance to see if concerns over Facebook's revenue and growth are warranted.
It's only been two months since Facebook's (Nasdaq: FB) long-awaited May 18 IPO. The day didn't exactly turn out as planned with Nasdaq's technical problems delaying trading and a measly one-day gain of 23 cents.
The result has been a lingering frustration among investors who hoped they were buying the next big tech stock - and are now in the red.
Since then, Facebook stock has fallen 24%.
A lot of expectations and answers should come with the Q2 earnings Thursday, but we're not so sure they'll be the answers investors have hoped to hear.
Here are three reasons we think the Facebook earnings report will disappoint.

July 5, 2005
Thomasville-- A rash of burglaries in Thomas and Grady counties is an increasing problem that's costing victims money and authorities manpower.
Two neighborhoods in Northern Thomas County look peaceful enough. But lately, sheriff's investigators say they're anything but. "Last three or four weeks we've noticed an increase in daytime burglaries," says Thomas sheriff's investigator, Pascal Autrey.
There have been a rash of about a dozen burglaries around Ochlocknee and Meigs. It's the number of break ins that makes this growing problem so expensive, not what was stolen. "We're missing weed eaters, blowers, lawn mowers, air compressors. Some of the houses they entered, we're missing some Playstation games," says Autrey.
A neighborhood in Grady County, just over the Thomas line, is experiencing a similar series of burglaries. "They've had five or six we know of," says Autrey. Investigators suspect the same people may be to blame in both counties. "They don't take a lot of stuff out. They may try to take one or two items and leave a lot of items that are similar, maybe so the owner doesn't pick up that the items are missing," says Autrey.
Similar homes and similar MO's have led investigators to several people of interest but no concrete suspects. That's where you come in. Investigators want any suspicious people, or cars, reported immediately. "Especially during the daytime, try to get a tag number, but don't put yourself in danger," says Autrey. That could save an unwitting homeowner from being put in danger themselves.
So far, nobody has been home during any of the burglaries. But investigators say they consider this case a top priority because eventually, homeowners' and burglars' paths could cross.

Great boat....you'll enjoy sailing and racing it....they are a delightful boat to sail...
not bad for cruising for a week or two with just your significant other with you...
whats the hull number?
my first one was 197 and it had all the stuff like hot and cold pressure water and a gimbled propane stove as well as shore power.
my newer one is 341...i have had to install all the extras that came with my first j30....

The surveyor up in annapolis that surveyed my boat told me the very early hull numbers and the later hull numbers, 300+ had fewer blistering issues if any...
my boat had never been "sealed" for some reason and some scattered pencil point blisters in the gel coat...
we sand blasted the bottom carefully, then sealed the boat with 3 coats of 2000, ran over it with a "da" sander and were good to go with 3 coats of baltoplate...
i pulled the boat for it's "annual" inspection and bottom paint...
was pleasently surprised that there was no more sign of blistering...
good luck with your boat and enjoy...the 30 is fun to sail and very forgiving....
Posted 15 May 2013 - 11:53 PM
Bottom on Top Tick is nearly perfect. We may do a little detailing on the keel in fall but everything else looked and felt as smooth as could be.

Lovely Term .. My career started back with dressmaking, now running my own design practice. The detailing sets the designs in to truly bespoke and individual. Our clients want their projects to be something different and not something straight off the peg.
You can be really creative and lots of fun with this.. it doesn't have to be an expensive option!

Breeder: Helen Alexander (Ky.)
Sire (father): Offlee Wild
Dam (mother): Alittlebitearly, by Thunder Gulch
From the family of Courtley Dee, one of the greatest broodmares of the 20th Century, Bayern won his first two career starts by a combined margin of 18 1/4 lengths for Hall of Fame trainer Bob Baffert.
He followed those efforts with a third place finish in the Arkansas Derby and first place finish in the Derby Trial but was disqualified to second. He then finished ninth in the 2014 Preakness Stakes.
Bayern sprinted to a 7 1/2-length win over Top Fortitude and Social Inclusion in the Grade 2 Woody Stephens Stakes on the Belmont Stakes undercard. He nearly duplicated that win margin in the Haskell Invitational, romping by 7 1/4 lengths to record his first Grade 1 victory and defeat Albano, Wildcat Red and filly Untapable among others. With the win he earned a place in the starting gate of the Breeders' Cup Classic to be run in November.

Chief Keef? Do y'all remember what Rock The Bells was originally made for? My URL is a petition to take him out of the lineup. I know they tend to have 1 or 2 of the mainstream party artists, but Chief Keef is definitely on a whole other level. If you agree with the petition, sign it.

Tom: Loki is this off the rails, psychopatic agent of chaos x
#((idk#that doesn't look like crazy to me.#that looks like the face of a man who thought he'd never feel the wind in his hair again)) (Silvertonguedgod)
1) Tom. You are a Cambridge-educated bonafide genius. Stop misusing the word "psychopath." Loki is many dangerous and disturbed things, but he is NOT a diagnosable candidate of Antisocial Personality Disorder. Someone who was a genuine psychopath would not give a damn about the death of his mother, or his accidental aid in causing said death, just to BEGIN with.
2) This is a face of radiant, MANIC ecstasy. This is a face of someone with a brain that can never be turned off placed in solitary confinement with four blinding white walls who suddenly finds himself outside and CONTROLLING SOMETHING (the boat) with his OWN TWO HANDS again, an indispensable component of a rescue and revenge plot. This is someone given temporarily relief from near-suicidal depression and guilt. This is DESPERATE HAPPINESS. The kind that borders on tears (look at his eyes), the kind where your laughter can become sobbing in milliseconds.

The social networking site began promoting business Facebook pages in its users' newsfeeds worldwide in a bid to boost advertising revenue.
The advertising push lets companies pay to show their page posts to people via the newsfeed, even if users didn't subscribe to that product or brand, the Inquisitr reports.
Previously, it was only possible to show these pages to all users through ads in the web sidebar.
While there is no way for a Facebook user to opt out of the ads, a Facebook spokesperson said the company had limits in place "to ensure that people's newsfeeds are not filled with advertising".
"We think this will make it easier for businesses to reach more people," the spokesperson said.

There had been some questions and concerns surrounding the availability of UFC light-heavyweight Alexander Gustafsson who was set to headline this weekend's UFC on FUEL TV 9 card in his home country of Sweden against Gegard Mousasi, but now we have answers and they aren't what the fans and the UFC was hoping for.
Gustafsson will not be cleared by the Swedish MMA Federation and will not be able to participate in the main event this weekend.
Gustafsson suffered a cut during training last week and was originally examined on Saturday when the concerns began to surface. He had a follow up today and the cut had not healed enough to satisfy Sweden's regulatory body. As a result, he was not cleared for the event.
"The SMMAF Medical Committee has today reviewed the circumstances regarding Gustafsson and his injury," the Swedish MMA Federation announced in a statement. "The SMMAF Medical Committee recognizes that a competitor cannot be medically cleared earlier than the day before the match.
"However, bearing in mind that a correct medical examination that met the regulatory demands has been performed, nothing in the SMMAF regulations hinders the SMMAF Medical Committee from making a decision to stop Gustafsson from competing. As it is clear that Alexander Gustafsson will not be fit to compete as planned and cannot be medically cleared on Friday the 5th of April, the SMMAF Medical Committee has today decided that Alexander Gustafsson will not be allowed to participate in the planned match."
There was no immediate word on a replacement for Gustafsson or if the organization would decide to reschedule to bout with Mousasi, but an official announcement and more details are expected to come from the organization soon.
UFC on FUEL TV 9 will take place this Saturday at Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm.
We will just have to await word on the new main event.

Continuing on our sub-theme this week of skills that complement strong personal finance management, I want to cover the topic of how to write an effective letter. In this electronic age, many people have forgotten the elements – and the value – of sending a letter via postal mail, but this skill is something important that everyone should recognize as part of their repertoire.
What value does this have? A letter is very concrete and can be used as evidence of information exchanged between two parties. To a business, a letter means business in a way that a phone call or an email do not. If you need to get your point across and telephone calls aren't cutting it, a letter is the way to go. Sadly, fewer and fewer people are using this tool, which actually makes the power of a letter today even stronger – it means pay attention even more than before.
When should I send a letter? A letter should be used whenever you have difficulty achieving the resolution that you want by telephone or by electronic communication. For example, if you have bill collectors calling you day and night, the most effective way to ask them to stop is by letter requesting that all contact be in writing (along with a copy given to your lawyer). Another example: if you're ever disputing a bill, a letter is the best way to get your case across, as an individual who is not serious enough about a dispute to send a letter often won't get the resolution they want. In both of these cases, a well-constructed letter is the way to go.
What should a formal letter contain? If you are writing a formal letter for the first time, here are the basic elements (along with suggested placements) for what the letter should look like.
Your address should appear in the upper left corner of the page, followed by an empty line, followed by the address of the recipient. This way, the contact information is clear for both parties.
After this, skip another line, center the text, and write Attention: followed by the name and title of the person you are contacting. For example, if you're writing to Jim Nolan, VP of Customer Relations at a company, this line should be "Attention: Jim Nolan, VP of Customer Relations" … the company name should be understood. Also, this is the only line that should be centered; everything else should be aligned to the left.
Skip another line, then start off with an appropriate address: Dear Mr. Nolan (or Ms. Nolan in the case of a female recipient).
Skip yet another line, then begin your main letter. Keep it brief and stick to the facts; don't write a ten page tome or else no one will read it. Start off by clearly stating the issue at hand with dates and other specific information, then in another paragraph state the resolution that you wish to see. A final sentence should give information on how to contact you, something like "I can be reached at the address given above or by telephone at …"
Finish with a "Yours truly," then insert three blank lines, then type your name. After you print it, sign it in pen above your name. Put it in an envelope and send it out.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- A woman charged with murdering her husband in 2006 has been found guilty for a second time.
A jury found Shellye Stark guilty of first-degree murder in the death of her husband Dale on Friday.
Stark also faced a conspiracy to commit murder charge, but the jury found her not guilty.
A jury first found Stark guilty in the murder of her husband in 2009, but that conviction was overturned.
Sentencing is scheduled for Oct. 2.

This article was inspired by an article written here some months ago, but then happened to me in real life.
There is an attractive dark-skinned girl, probably Honduran, maybe Chilean. Actually, she could be Greek I guess. Could she be Jewish? Never mind. It's not important. Basically, she's hot and getting some juice in the dining hall and the following scene happens (in my mind).
Me: Are you sure you want that one? (smiles playfully)
Her: Yeah, (leaves mouth open just a second longer than normal) Why wouldn't I?
Me: Although a good choice, its about to overflow.
(juice machine wont stop pouring)
Me: Told you. (laughs in a I'm here to help' tone)
Her: (laughing and looking at me for help) Oh no what should I do?
Me: Hold on, I'll fix it. (I hit the machine like I'm the Fonz)
Her: wow, you're so smart and strong. You're not too old for me are you?
Me: Well, I've noticed your pretty face around here for a few years, so I'd say no.
Her: I just wish I could find guys like you who know where they are going in life and aren't so nerdy.
Me: We can't all be so fortunate.
Her: Take me now!
Me: Maybe later.
I walk away break dancing and smoking a cigarette. Her panties are so wet that girls even walking by have an orgasm by proximity.
Here's what really happened.
Me: Are you gonna drink that?
Her: (looks creeped already) Um, why, should I not? What did you do to it?
Me: Well, it's about to overflow. Waste not, want no ma lady.
Her: How do you know that? Do you work here?
(machine starts to overflow)
Me: (laughs manically) Told you so!
Her: Crap, I'm late for class. This is a mess.
Me: Let me go get some help. (I spend 15 minutes trying to find some staff)
Me: (coming back with a mop I found in the corner) Let me get that for you. You have a pretty face.
Her: (accusingly) What? How old are you? (I finish mopping as she watches confused.)
Me: So check you lata
I walk away and knock over half a stack of napkins and trays. I throw a peace sign to the card swiper guy, who returns by flicking me off.

Throw poop and punches from midnight in Monkey Boxing for iPhone and iPad

on one device
Is it just us or are a lot of boxing games carbon copies of one another these days?
If, like I, you're tired of jumping into the ring as Floyd Mayweather or Muhammad Ali, you may want to check out
Monkey Boxing
As its name suggests, this is a boxing game full of banana-loving simians.
You begin
Monkey Boxing
by choosing and customising your very own ape through "billions" of combinations of colours and wearable props like Viking helmets, sunglasses, and face masks.
Once you've made your little scamp all pretty, you can step into the ring and compete against a range of poop-throwing opponents for fame, fortune, and a shiny trophy.
Of course, you can challenge real-world primate pugilists, too.
You can either compete against them for high scores on Game Center leaderboards, or go toe-to-toe with them in a fierce multiplayer battle on a single device.
Monkey Boxing
has just landed on the New Zealand App Store, which - as always - means it'll be available in the UK and US from around midnight this evening. It'll be priced £1.99 / $2.99.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My school is Westwood Elementaryl. My son and daughter attend Westwood elementary. I have been very happy with the school and especially the teachers. Mrs. Belvins nutured my daughter who as a result improved in every area including social skills, reading skills, math and science skills. She came at the end of the year with breadth of knowledge and curiosity to learn even more. My son was in Mr. Wichmann's class who is equally a wonderful teacher. Mr. Wichmann helped grow my son's love for knowledge while learning something new every day. He didn't only learn science but more how to be a scientist and a critical thinker. He learned to make questions, to analyze, to seek answers,and to research. I appreciate Westwood and the great teachers of Westwood. Thank you.
My son is going there since he was 3 years old for his special classes the teacher is great awesome IEP report everything is there is so much correct that we are expected now my son turns 5 in march and we have to move another school because we move in san jose district but i miss this school teacher adrienne , miss debbie ,micheal and kathy great teachers
This is one of the best schools ever. The principal is the most caring and professional principals I have ever known. He has a great way with kids and always uses positive methods to resolve conflicts. The teachers are passionate and involved with each and every kid. Great special ed team. The only negative is the "Queen Bee" the school secretary one of the rudest, demeaning and unfriendly persons at the school. I can sympathize with the demands and irritations of kids and parents but this women needs to retire she does Not FIT IN ANYMORE.. also anyone who writes a bad review of this school is sadly mistaken.
I can't to say something good about this school. We had a bad experience here. My child attends this school in 2013 year. I never fill comfortable myself when my child was in the school every day. The teachers doesn't pay attention enough for the children. They are is not friendly also. My child was hungry, dirty, crying almost every day after the school. They never heard the parents. I wrote about special day care class and the office employer.
I am shocked for the parent who wrote the last review about Westwood. My Daughter has been going there since Kindergarten and I can't tell you how happy we have been. The staff, teachers are wonderful! I always say if you are not happy then maybe you shouldn't be going there, but all the parents that have kids at Westwood that I know have never said anything bad about our school. Good luck!
This is an extremely sought after elementary school. The teachers a responsive and creative! Westwood has great administrative leadership from the principal all the way down. I cannot say enough about Westwood, its a great school any parent should be proud to send their children to.
Westwood is a diverse and friendly community.The teachers are wonderful and the new principal is dynamic. There are family events and grade level events all the time. Test scores really don't give a good picture of what a caring and fun environment this is.
All of my kids have attended Westwood, so we have been part of the Westwood community for years. The teachers are excellent and the parent involvement is great to see. There are many fun community events like the Fall Festival that even my high school kids want to come back and be a part of!
This is the 1st year my child is in a plubic school, and we both love it
so far so good...this is our first year and I was worried. The scores also threw me off as well. My daughter is in K, and her teacher has been fantastic. We also have a new co-principle, which I think is going to make a big difference in the school's environment and culture. I also agree with the other parent about the teacher and parent involvement. I think what we do at home, has a huge effect on our children and the students around them.
I am very pleased with this school. I was reluctant at first and tried to get my daughter in other neighboring schools due to low API scores. I learned now not to go by that. I believe it depends on the teacher, and how much you do with your child. You could be going to a school rated a 10 in other cities but if you get stuck with a bad teacher, good luck to you, it is comparable to going to a school rated a 1. Her cousin goes to a school that is well rated but they are doing the same curriculum. I'm fortunate enough to have a wonderful first grade teacher who is very very good and does a fantastic job. I help out in class once a week and I'm impressed at how well she controls her students. The teacher is organized & communicates well.
My kids have gone to Westwood for the past eight years, and we love it there! The teachers and staff are great, and they have tons of awesome community events like the Fall Festival and the Multi-Cultural Festival! Westwood is a great school with a real sense of community, and I would recommend it to any new family!
The school is Great and all who say other wise are wrong, My daughter loves going to school every morning and learns what she needs to, the teachers and great and really care for the students. My Daughter even told me that they dont allow any candy on campus, Im a dental Hygienist and I think thats wonderfull,,
Of all the schools my daughter has attended since kindergarten, Westwood is my least favorite. Things were so bad with her teacher last year that I withdrew her, and began homeschooling. This year she has returned to the classroom, because I have to work, So far, my daughter is delighted with her teacher, her classmates, and being back in the classroom. Although the principal is well-meaning, she is often off campus. I believe that leadership is lacking. The school is also faced with growing enrollment and now, they also have 4 classrooms of special needs children. It is a busy place. I just hope my daughter continues to enjoy her class time.
Good school with lots of parental involvment.
For my two kids westwood has been a roller coaster. The teachers are either really good or really bad and nothing is done about the bad ones...So they keep getting worse! Not the best focus for the kids. Testing scores are going down and the kids arent getting the arts, music and pe that they should.... Pretty sad. I hope middle school is much better!
My son dx with Autism, attends the Special Ed class in Westwood. The classroom, teachers, the teaching method is excellent.
My child has attended this elementary school for the last three years, she began in Kindergarten and is now in the second grade. I love our school and am hoping to find a similar one in another area. The parents and grandparents of our school or wonderful participants in their child school life. We have field trips and a fun family fall festival every year. The teachers are excellent I have been pleased with them all. The principal is very wonderful as well. With all the reductions in school budgets it is hard to keep the curriculum and extras in but our Westwood family is doing a wonderful job. If ever you move into the area Westwood is a great place if you like to be involved or not with your childs education. I hope to find the same if ever we leave the area.
The school seems to be a test school for every new teaching theory. As evidenced by the school's drop in API, it's not working. If your child gets a bad teacher, forget getting any help by the Principal. (One year my child was in a class where the teacher regularly berated the children, told them they weren't smart, and frequently told them to shut up. It was clear that she did not like children.)When going to the Principal, she politely told me my child was a liar and I should talk with the teacher. So I did. And the teacher confirmed that my daughter was telling the truth. Even then the Principal wasn't interested in the well being of the students in that class. But there are some really good teachers too. If your child is lucky enough to get one of them, it's a great place for your child.
Westwood is a mixed bag of good and bad for your children. My son and daughter have been there for 5 years (1 - 5, K - 4), and we have found that the quality of education is based on the specific teacher, not the schools educational program. Luckily I would deem the majority of the teachers to be quite good, with many of them outstanding and willing to make the extra effort to work with your child to bring out their specific gifts and strengthen their weaknesses. Conversely, there are some terrible teachers (only a few) and the school is unwilling to give the parents any recourse to move their children from these classes. Of particular strength is the combined 4th/5th grade classes, which has benefited many students who's abilities span their age/grade range.
