JA in a Day:  Friday, Jan. 31^st 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!!  Contact Holly Peterson at [email protected]  for more information.

Westgate is moving towards a “toy free” zone.  Unfortunately, there has been a lot of distractions and problems caused by students bringing toys, fidgets, stuffed animals, blankets, Pokemon cards, etc. 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, etc) is still acceptable. Appropriate fidgets will be available in the classrooms for those who need one. More information is coming soon from admin. 

I would also like to remind you to have your child keep personal electronics at home. We do provide ear buds here at school and cell phones can stay in the backpack if they are turned off during school hours. Again, these items can be a distraction and take away from academic and social/emotional learning.

Thank you so much for your support with this!

Book exchange on Wednesday the 16th!

On Wednesday the 16th, Westgate is going to do a book exchange for students! Please bring in a book that you no longer need but could pass on to others to enjoy. The books must be school appropriate and safe. We are encouraging all students to bring in a book to trade, however it is not required. With this in mind, you get to decide whether or not you choose to participate in this activity!

2:15-3:15- Winter Party:

Food, drinks, 2 craft rooms, and 2 movie rooms-

• Pokemon cards, Bey Blades, slime, putty, etc.: Need to stay at home now. They are causing problems with students not paying attention in class, not sharing appropriately, and there has been some trading. We are not responsible for toys traded at recess. It takes away from our learning time.
• Don't forget to sign up for conferences
