This month, 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 the community create a set of school-wide behavioral expectations/core values, we teach those expectations in all our various environments, and then we CELEBRATE when we see students doing those things! At Westgate, we RISE (Respect, Integrity, Safety, Empathy).   

Hello!

My name is Mrs. Koenig and I am your child’s Advocacy Teacher/ Advocate. Advocacy is more than just 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, as well as learn about social and emotional health. It is a time for everyone to feel recognized and welcomed into the classroom and school community. As your child’s Advocate, I will be your primary point of communication, so feel free to reach out to me at any time. I am committed to advocating for your child this year.

I am very excited to be teaching at Westgate this year. This will be my third year teaching at Westgate. I graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor Degree in Portuguese Arts in Brazil. In 2021, I graduated from University of Northern Colorado with a Bachelor Degree in Early Childhood Education. In the last 15 years, I have worked as a preschool teacher, substitute teacher, second grade teacher and a first-grade teacher. I am also a Westgate mom. 

When I am not in the classroom, I am hanging out with my husband, son and 2 dogs, practicing yoga, hiking, gardening, biking, traveling or reading. 

I am excited to embark in this journey with you and your child this year! 

I have subscribed you to my Advocacy and Academic pages through Edlio. Edlio is our means of posting information to our class pages on the Westgate website. You will receive updates to your email automatically whenever I post to Edlio. You may also receive an email from me with the same information.  Please follow this link for weekly updates, academic information, upcoming events and other information.

This quarter, your child will have PE with Mr. Keaton, and Music with Mr. Hopson. You are not pre-subscribed to their Edlio pages, so please go to Mr. Keaton and Hopson’s  Edlio Pages on the Westgate Staff Pages website and subscribe.
