COMI-CON EXPECTATIONS: PLEASE READ!
Dear Parents/ Guardians,
As our field trip to Denver Pop-Culture Con approaches, we wanted to keep in mind the school policies and procedures for big field trips like this. Below we will detail these topics.
- Behavior Expectations: We realize that this is a big field trip to a large venue, and we will need all students to be on their best behavior and represent Westgate in a positive manner. As such we are letting you know about expectations leading up to this event. We will continue to follow Westgate’s behavior policy and any infractions might lead your student to not attending this field trip. We recommend you having a conversation with your child about behavior expectations. Also, if there becomes a problem during the field trip, you will receive a phone call and are expected to pick up your student from the field trip.
- Groups: We would like to let parents know that students will be in small groups with Westgate approved adult chaperones. It is the student’s responsibility to be respectful, stick together, and listen to their chaperone.
- Check in Times: Parent chaperones will be given a detailed schedule; each group will be expected to check in with Westgate Teachers throughout the day. If you are a parent chaperone, look for more details to come from Ms. Nieto.
- Costumes/ Cosplay: On this field trip students will be allowed to dress up in cosplay as it is the nature of this event. However, students must still follow all school dress code rules just like they would for Halloween at school. Please remember that our students are representing Westgate at the Pop Culture Con.
- Money: We recognize that this can be a once in a lifetime opportunity for our students and as such we are allowing them to bring money, should they have time to purchase memorabilia. It is the student’s responsibility to hold on to their own money and to use it appropriately for school appropriate items they would like to purchase for themselves.
We are still looking for Parent Chaperones who have the approved background check. If you have any questions or concerns, please email your Advocacy Teacher.
