At Westside School, we believe that a strong community is built on relationships that span across all grades and divisions. One of the ways we cultivate these connections is through our unique Wolfpacks—multi-grade groups that meet about once a month. Wolfpacks offer a special opportunity for students, teachers, and staff to come together, fostering a sense of belonging, friendship, and school spirit that strengthens the Westside community.

Wolfpacks are more than just a group activity—they’re an integral part of the Westside experience. Each Wolfpack includes students from every grade level, from Pre-K through 8th grade, as well as at least two adult leaders. Together, they participate in fun activities and engaging conversations that emphasize kindness, teamwork, and mutual support.

The best part about Wolfpacks? They stay with you throughout your time at Westside. Once you’re in a Wolfpack, you remain in that same group each year, allowing you to build deeper relationships and create lasting memories. Over time, each Wolfpack develops its own mini-culture and traditions, making this experience truly unique for every group.
