Hello!

I am Jocelyn Hansen and I am your child’s Advocacy Teacher, which means that I am their Advocate. Please check out my personal page if you'd like to know a little more about me. Advocacy is our main time for social-emotional learning, but most importantly, is a special subject to build our supportive community. As your child’s Advocate, I am your primary point of communication, and I am committed to advocating for your child this year.

I am a 2nd year teacher and joined the Westgate community January 2023. I grew up surrounded by inspiring teachers, especially my grandmother, who constantly supported and encouraged my love of learning. My goal as your child’s teacher is to provide a safe and welcoming environment where they can grow.

I have subscribed you to my Advocacy page so you will receive updates to your email automatically. Please follow this link for the other class pages to see weekly updates, academic information, upcoing events, and other information.

For specials the first half of this quarter, your child will have Music with Mr. Hopson. The second half of the quarter will be Art with Ms. Houghton. You are not pre-subscribed to their Edlio pages, so please go to their pages and subscribe!

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