Welcome back for another week at Westgate!

Here are a few quick announcements for the remaining two weeks:

Late work will be accepted no later than Wednesday, December 11^th. This gives teachers time to grade assignments and get grades up to date before finals.

Finals will take place on Monday, December 16^th and Tuesday, December 17^th. Students are required to report to the appropriate class for finals. There will be a break room for students who need to stay on campus during finals, but don’t have a final during that block of time. Students can only take a final during its scheduled time and may not start another final early at any point. On Wednesday, December 18^th, we will spend the morning having our Christmas party, and the afternoon will be set aside for make-up finals.

Monday, December 9^th and Tuesday, December 10^th are finals days for most college classes. If students do not have finals or are done early, they should not return to Westgate until their normal high school classes take place. All students will report to Westgate for full days Wednesday and Thursday of that week.

Students should be mindful of their language during class. In many ways, school teaches us how to act as we enter careers, and this means we need to keep our speech appropriate. This includes avoiding profanity and crass jokes.

Computers and games should be kept away unless given permission by a teacher. There has been a recent upswing in computer games and card/board games appearing in the classroom. Please keep these away.

Best, and here's to another great week!
