Hello Advocacy Families!

Last week students were able to explore all the different options for Elective class and they started switching for their Language Arts, Math, Science and Social Studies classes. Students will find our which Elective they will have on Monday. We continue to work on making sure all students have a working laptop, we are creating shared rules for our 7/8 classrooms, we will teach students how to login to Infinite Campus and check their grades and how to communicate home through email updating you on their progress at school. 

At Westgate, we RISE (Respect, Integrity, Safety, Empathy).

We will continue teaching and reinforcing to students what these 4 words mean, and what it looks like to live these values out during school and at home. We will use RISE all year to celebrate positive behaviors.

Reminders:

• Monday: 7th grade students will learn about our recycling program
• Tuesday: 8th grade students will learn about our recycling program
• Wednesday: Students will take the NWEA MAPS tests for Reading and Math
• Students should be bringing home their technology agreement to sign. If you haven't seen that yet, please ask your student about it. 

Have a great week, and email me with any questions you may have.
