1-2 Field Trip to Symphony:  The K-8th grade classes will be going to the Symphony Tuesday, Jan. 28th .  Your child will not need a sack lunch, but they do need to wear his/her red Westgate shirt or any red shirt will do. 

 

JA in a Day:  Friday, Jan. 31st will be our annual JA in a Day!  If you would like to volunteer to teach one of our classes on this day, we would love to have you!!  Ms. Kenner doesn't have a volunteer yet!  Contact Holly Peterson at [email protected]  for more information.

 

Westgate is moving towards a “toy free” zone.  We want students to focus on learning and building relationships while they are here, and toys become a disruption to this learning process.  Outdoor equipment (balls, scooters, jump ropes and sidewalk chalk) is still acceptable.  More information is coming soon from admin.  Please let us know if you have any questions.  Thank you so much for your support with this!
