Welcome to Mrs. Seeley’s Advocacy at Westgate! 

ABOUT ME 

Hello! I am Erin Seeley (I go by Ms. Sor Ms. Seeley) and I am your child’s Advocacy Teacher/ Advocate. Advocacy is more than a Homeroom. Advocacy classes are first and foremost a time for students to build supportive relationships with their peers and with an adult they can trust. It is a time for everyone to feel recognized and welcomed into the school community. As your child’s Advocate, I will be your primary point of communication, and I am committed to advocating for your child this year. 

Hello, my name is Erin Seeley (I go by Ms. S). I am a Colorado native, and I grew up in Greeley, CO. This is my second year of teaching. I remember my third-grade teacher truly cared about her students, made school engaging, and was the one who inspired me to be a teacher. A classroom is a safe place for students to always feel welcome. A classroom is a community for the students to grow and strive in.  

In my free time I am either in the mountains or spending time with my family. Some of my favorite things are iced coffee, my dog, yellow or pink, and traveling. 

COMMUNICATION 

On each of content my pages, I will be posting weekly with academic information including a general overview of what we will be learning that week. At the beginning of each month, I will post an advocacy update including important dates to remember, upcoming events, and the Social-Emotional learning topic we will be working on. 

I have subscribed you to my Advocacy page, so you will receive updates to your email automatically. We will also automatically subscribe you to each of your child’s content classing during the next two weeks. 

You can also access all class pages through our school website: INSERT LINK HERE 

The best way to contact me directly throughout the year is via email: [email protected] 

SPECIALS 

This quarter, your child will be in Mr. Wise for Physical Education! You are not pre-subscribed to her Edlio page, so I encourage you to go to Mr. Wise's page and subscribe for regular updates.

ADVOCACY  

Our August Advocacy theme is RISE!  

At Westgate, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a part of our Whole Child Education program. PBIS is a system in which students, staff and community create a set of school-wide behavioral expectations/ core values, we teach those expectations in all of our various environments, and then we CELEBRATE when we see students doing those things! At Westgate, we RISE (Respect, Integrity, Safety, Empathy).
