5 Ways Westlake Patch Can Help You and Your Student

With a new school year underway, there's a lot to keep track of -- class schedules, clubs, PTA events and after-school sports practices.

Let Westlake Patch help you. Check out how our free features can help you interact with your school community and have stress-free, happy school year.

1. Announcements. Whether you're looking for volunteers for a PTA fundraiser or want to announce that your son made the dean's list at college, share it with an announcement. Email editor Melissa Hebert at Melissa.Hebert@Patch.com and she'll feature it on the front page.
2. Events. Having a fundraiser, a concert or want to get the word out on your organization's meetings? Post it on our events calendar.
3. Local Voices. We love to, but we can't make it to every game. But we still want to know about it! Write a little about the wining goal — or just give us the final score — from your daughter's soccer game using our Local Voices tool. Or maybe you have some thoughts on other school-related issues. Tell us all about it!
4. Pics & Clips. Going to a soccer game, or the ? Share the fun by photos in our community scrapbook.
5. Newsletter. Stay on top of what's going on in Westlake by getting the day's headlines delivered right to your email inbox. And we don't share your email address.
