Westlawn Middle School

We wrapped up an AMAZING first week by making sure our Falcon Stars know exactly what it takes to be successful at Westlawn!

From the TCS Code of Conduct and daily school procedures to Dress for Success, Yondr expectations, car rider safety, and important new Alabama laws, our students are starting the year informed, prepared, and ready to make choices that support their success. ⭐

Falcon Families, take a few minutes to review each graphic with your Star Student. When we all know the expectations, we can all help our Falcons SOAR!
