					<description><![CDATA[Olivia Rodrigo The Grammy winner and 2021 breakout musical star has often spoken proudly about her Filipino heritage. "My great-grandfather immigrated [to the US] from the Philippines when he was just a teenager. He’s my grandma’s dad, and my grandpa is also Filipino as well," she told the Centre for Asian American Media in 2018.
"My dad grew up in a house where they were always making Filipino food, his grandpa always spoke Tagalog. All of those traditions have trickled down to our generation. Every Thanksgiving we have lumpia and things like that."
Rodrigo, 19, rose to fame as a Disney Channel star and became a No 1 musical artist after the release of her record-breaking single Drivers License last year.

					<description><![CDATA[Dear Parents and Guardians of Westport Students,

Westport is growing! We are experiencing a surge in enrollment this school year. Therefore, we have to transition some students into new classes and reorganize for the school year. There is a lot of thought and staff input that goes into these decisions and we do not make the move without taking many factors into consideration.

The final reorganization will be made by the District Norm Day deadline of Friday, September 15, 2023. We will notify families of the students who will be transitioning to a new class. We know that you might have some questions. You can leave a message for the principal if you have specific concerns not to be shared in a general office hour setting.

Thank you,
J. Hughes
Principal]]></description>
