If one wants to see the impact of the ever changing patterns of Texas weather, a high school is a fabulous space. With three thousand folks in one building for at least 8 hours a day, the weather can instantly change people’s attitudes in a hurry. You have the kids who love the cold and get excited about the brisk air between classes. You have the kids who simply hate it when the weather goes below 60 degrees and the passing periods become a game of how to manage the walk between their classes without ever going outside. Some love the heat while others shy away from the sun at all costs. Some will walk through a drizzle to heavy rain while others have umbrellas and ponchos handy in their backpacks daily. And then if it snows, we all lose our adult minds and immediately become little kids again as seen when our students took to venturing outside on February 8th to “play in the snow” while taking videos and pics.
We hope y'all enjoy the warm Saturday before turning around to cover the plants and shrubs on Sunday night. For those who love consistency, we can look forward to our Austin summer where we know we will have hot and extra hot as our forecast for a smooth 3-4 months. Next week will be the end of our third quarter at Westlake High School. The calendar is unique this year for we will end a quarter before spring break with an extra week between the quarter ending and the beginning of Spring Break 2019. We hope this will actually provide a little relief as the end of quarter usually brings an abrupt break, but the extra week may have a positive impact on our students and staff. We hope you have a wonderful weekend.
