Welcome to Westridge Elementary! The students, parents and staff at Westridge are very proud of our learning community!
My name is Mary Jane Stites and it has been an honor for the last 8 years to be the principal at Westridge Elementary. I have also served as the elementary principal in Earlham, Iowa as well as spending time as a 4th grade teacher and a Literacy Director in other school districts. I received my BA from Northwest Missouri State University and then went on to get my Masters at Viterbo University and then on to Drake University for my Administration Degree. I also get the opportunity to teach graduate and undergraduate classes at Viterbo University and Upper Iowa University for future teachers and future administrators.
Westridge reflects a K-6 population of approximately 700 unique and diverse learners. Our excellent teachers and support staff are committed to providing a positive, successful, and safe environment in which all students can reach academic success and receive a rewarding education. We have a very active PTA that provides our students, staff and families with a variety of learning and community building activities. Our staff and students both welcome and value the support of our families, volunteers and resources provided by our outstanding community.
Please feel free to visit our school. We would love to share with you all of the great learning that is happening at Westridge Elementary!
