Westgate knows that many of our students enjoy socializing and simply having the opportunity to be together... even virtually! Beginning next Friday, September 4th, Katie Goforth and Julie Ruhl will be hosting grade level Social Zooms for all students in 7th Grade. Social Zooms are intended to be an unstructured space for kids to connect. Ms. Katie and Mrs. Ruhl are hosting the Zoom, but the purpose of the Social Zoom is to allow students to connect organically. They will ensure the Zoom remains school appropriate, safe and comfortable for all students! 

• There will be a 30 minute Social Zoom in the morning, and a 30 minute Social Zoom in the afternoon so that we can be flexible with family schedules. 
• In 7th Grade, the Social Zooms will be from [10:30am-11:00am and 2:15pm-2:45pm]
• Here is the AM [10:30am] Link:https://zoom.us/j/99075578967?pwd=RWtscDY4ZGtxc3NRcGpYTzlBVWkyQT09
• Here is the PM [2:15pm] Link:https://zoom.us/j/98861376899?pwd=SmF6ZlprMlUwQSs2aEhSNkZMUmhXQT09
• Social Zooms are completely optional! You can join none, one, or both! 
• Ms. Katie and Mrs. Ruhl will be monitoring the Zoom to maintain school expectations. If there are concerns during the Zoom, they will provide warnings and redirect behavior, but if the behavior continues, the student may be removed from the Zoom. 
• If you have any questions, please email [email protected] - we hope to see your student Friday!
