Easy Ways to Help Westpark Both the Office Depot and Target Corporations have teamed up as community partners to help support Westpark. When you are out shopping for home and business office and school supplies at Office Depot, please remember to tell the clerk that you would like your purchase credited to Westpark Elementary. Our school ID# is 70009067, but the clerk can always look up the number for you. Credits allow the school to purchase office and school supplies freeing up general budget for other needs. Those of you that hold Target REDCards help out Westpark every time you use your card as Target donates 1% of eligible purchases each time you use your card. We thank these corporate partners and all of you for supporting Westpark. Please see this link to how you can help Westpark by collecting Boxtops for Education and Labels for Education. Thank you to Diane Squyres for handling this program!

Information regarding the safe operation of bicycles is also included on the map. Please print out the map and discuss it as a family to when reviewing the safest route to school.
