Character Cafe
The Six Pillars of Character include: Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship.
At Westview School, we continue to celebrate these traits through several activities aimed at promoting the Six Pillars of Character in daily life.
We hold a monthly “Character Café,” in which students have the opportunity to have lunch with Mr. Buttimer and discuss how they have demonstrated that Character Counts!
4th Grade Natural Disaster Presentations
On Thursday, December 19th, our 4th Graders shared presentations about natural disasters. This is one example of integrated learning opportunities as students learned both literacy and science skills while preparing their projects. Click HERE to view more photos.
5th Grade Community Helpers
One of the student clubs at Westview is the Patrol/Community Helpers. In addition to monitoring students before and after school, students respectfully put up and take down the American flag each school day.
Annual 3rd Grade Biography Fair
On December 18th, our 3rd Grade students hosted our Annual Biography Fair. This event provided students with an opportunity to tell visitors and guests about a famous person they researched over the last few weeks. Click HERE to view more photos.
Solving Problems Together
Our students know that by talking through problems and discussing potential solutions, they better understand what the problem is asking, and try out strategies in math class, and beyond!
Equivalent Fractions
Just about everywhere you look at Westview these days, students are exploring fractions! Here, two fourth graders discover the many equivalent fractions while working with manipulatives!
Westview Shows Tremendous Growth
We are extremely proud of the growth shown by Westview Students through the Illinois State Board of Education's Interactive School Report Card. Based on several factors, Westview grew from a score of 56 points in 2023 to 77 points in 2024. We are hoping to perform in the Exemplary range in the upcoming spring of 2025!

"Go out and play!"--Westview Playground is Open!
Did you know that the Westview Playground is open for members of the community to enjoy outside of school hours? Our expectation is that students go home after dismissal to check in with parents. But once they have permission from parents, they are welcome to use the Westview playground, basketball hoops, and field after school hours and on weekends. We encourage students to put down devices and meet some friends at Westview to… “Go out and PLAY!
