Principal's Message

Greetings to all and welcome to the Westmoor Elementary School website! We hope that you will find our site easy to navigate and full of useful information.

Our commitment at Westmoor is to provide a safe, positive, and nurturing learning environment that will empower students to become creative problem solvers, critical thinkers, and empathetic individuals.

This will be my seventh year as principal at Westmoor Elementary School. I spent 13 years at Bluffs Middle School. Six of those years were as a 6th-grade teacher, four as an assistant principal, and the last three as head principal. Prior to my time at BMS, I taught 5th grade at Westmoor for 10 years. Those 10 years were amazing years, and when the opportunity came about to return to the school I hold in such high regard, I jumped at the chance!

You will find at Westmoor a caring, dedicated, and fun-loving staff in place. We all continue the standard of high expectations, the relationship with the supportive community, and the tradition of the family atmosphere. I am honored to work alongside so many caring and skilled individuals who are committed to providing a well-rounded learning experience for every child, all of the time.

Westmoor is proud to be a community school in the best sense of the phrase. We currently serve approximately 400 students in grades Kindergarten through 5th.
We are beginning to undergo the modernization of Westmoor in the summer of 2024 with the refinishing of our stage, the painting of the gym, new student desks and chairs, and Clear Touch Interactive Panels in each classroom. The modernization of Westmoor will continue into the summers of 2025 and 2026 to bring us up to a polished, new look that will address safety, an environment even more conducive to learning, and general aesthetics.
