WELCOME TO THE
Westridge
Parent Association
(...ALSO KNOWN AS “THE WPA”!)
You might be wondering...
What is the WPA?
The purpose of the WPA is to:
Promote a sense of community among parents, students and the school
Create opportunities for parent involvement in and communications with the school
Provide a forum for discussion of issues pertinent to the education of young women
Provide financial and volunteer support for school needs and activities
Support the purpose and values of the school
The WPA supports the school through:
Events, including the WPA Night Market (which new families are invited to attend on May 2!) and parties for both students and parents
Summer Parties
Silent Auction
Used Uniform Sales
and more!

The Westridge Annual Fund
Like other independent schools, Westridge relies on philanthropic giving to bridge the gap between tuition and the full cost of educating our girls.
The Westridge Annual Fund, our school's annual fund, generates the necessary financial support to close the budget gap and provide each student with a learning environment where leadership, academic excellence, athletic strength, and artistic expression can thrive.
The WPA leads this fundraising effort through parent participation as class captains, and more than half of the Westridge Annual Fund comes from current families.

This summer...
A WPA grade-level representative (GLR) will reach out to introduce themselves, answer any questions, and organize time for students to connect before the first day of school.
