  • Specials: Our special is Music. We will stay in this special until April 26. 
  • Field Trip to Four Mile Historic Park: As our Colorado weather becomes warmer, our classes have more opportunities to learn outdoors.  To further our learning history, we will be taking our classes to Four Mile Park. Our field trip to Four Mile Park will be this Wednesday, April 10th 9:00 A.M. - 2:00 PM.
  • Please make sure your child wears their red Westgate shirt. If your child does not have a red Westgate shirt, any red shirt is fine.  
  • Please pack a disposablesack lunch and water bottle for your child labeled with their name. Students will have morning and afternoon snacks at Westgate, before and after our field trip. 
  • Please make sure your child wears comfortable shoes (we will be walking in dirt and livestock areas) and brings a light jacket (Colorado weather is always changing and spring is here).
