🚧 2026 Summer School Building Access 🚧

As summer construction ramps up, the following Westonka facilities are currently closed:

• Westonka High School
• Shirley Hills Primary School
• Hilltop Primary School
• Early Learning Center
• Westonka Activity Center (through July 26)

The Educational Service Center will remain open this summer, but the parking lots and drives are currently under construction. Please call the district office at (952) 491-8000 to schedule an appointment before visiting the ESC.

Westonka Middle School will be open for summer programming and will serve free meals for kids beginning June 15.

Thank you for your patience and understanding during this busy summer of construction. These projects represent a significant investment in the future of Westonka Public Schools, and we are grateful for the support of our community that made these improvements possible. We look forward to sharing our progress throughout the summer!

Students at Hilltop Primary School embraced the annual “Screen Free Week” May 11-17.

“Stepping away from screens for even a few days provides significant and lasting benefits for children such as better focus, self-regulation, improved sleep, and empathy toward others through face-to-face interactions,” said school social worker Lori Springer.

Screen-free activities were planned throughout the week both in school and in the community to encourage participation, connection and fun. Hilltop families received free admission to all Westonka High School events throughout the week, along with opportunities to participate in a variety of family-friendly activities, including a crafting and board game night at Hilltop; an evening family hike led by Ellen Munshower, an interpretive naturalist with Three Rivers Park District; a bike rodeo at Hilltop; a community gathering at Back Channel Brewing; a kids "boot camp" at Hilltop; and an ice cream social at Lost Lake Creamery.
