The First day of school is Monday, August 6th. We begin at 8:00 a.m. sharp! The school day is 8:00 - 3:30 every day. Outdoor supervision begins at 7:45 a.m. Please do not leave your children unsupervised before 7:45. If you are in need of before or after school care, please contact Champions, our Before and After Care Provider.
There are no official carline procedures on the first day of School. Knowing that parents like to take advantage of the photo opportunity on the first day, parking will be allowed in all lots. Please be patient if you are dropping off your child on day one!
We ask all parents are out of the building by 8:10 a.m. so the teachers can get started with their day! Please join Administration and the Board of Directors outside the 1/2 Doors for the Annual Back to School Breakfast.
Carline begins on day 2! Be ready for Carline. The Carline diagram is located on the Parent Page on the right side under TRANSPORTATION. Please remember to TURN RIGHT when pulling out of the lot onto 126th!
* K-4 students enter through the K-2 doors at the south side of the building (Doors at the far end of the upper South parking lot. There will be signs on the first day!) Parents may park in the lower lot (North side of the building) and walk their students up to the doors.
* Fifth grade - High School students enter through the main doors.
* All vehicles must enter the school property from 126th. Please be patient as the first few days are always the most stressful.
*Lunch on the first day of school? Students must either bring a lunch or order online for a hot lunch from My Kid's Lunch. Learn how to order hot lunches on the Website. Information is on the Parent Page.
*If your child forgets his/her lunch, we have an emergency lunch from “My Child’s Lunch” available. Parents will be invoiced $4.00 for each emergency lunch.
School supplies are included in the student fees! You don't need to bring anything to be prepared for class on first day. Everything your child needs will be supplied in each classroom. No need to brave the back to school sales!
Student Fees are due the first day of school. You can pay student fees ($275 K-8 and $300 HS) in many ways; at Registration, Back to School Night, by check either by mail or in the dropbox located in the school lobby, or through the online school store located on the front page of the website (a 2.5% fee is applied for processing). Payment Plans are available, as well. Please contact Teri.
Garrick@westgateschool.org to set-up a plan for your family.
We are looking forward to a wonderful year at Westgate filled with academic, physical, social and emotional growth for each and every student. Please be sure to take advantage of all the 10th Anniversary Special Events this year! The calendar of events is attached to this email.
Kind Regards,
Sharon Collins
