CMAS 

March 16-18: ELA 6th Grade 

(6th Math and 5th ELA, Math, and Science will be after Spring Break)

Testing will be in the mornings.  Please be sure your child has a good breakfast and arrives to school on time!  We want to set our kids up for success.

Our regular schedule will be heavily modified for both 5th and 6th grade in order to accommodate testing, including a change in our specials time.  

Ice Skating in PE

We will be having a skating company come in the week of March 9-13th.  Our class gets to participate on Wednesday. They will be putting down some artificial ice on the gym floor and students will get to learn how to skate.

Students MAY bring their own ice skates if they have them.  Socks higher than the ankle need to be worn.

Reminders:
 
Birthdays are celebrated at the end of the day between 3:15-3:30, all treats need to be store bought, in original packaging with ingredients listed.
 
 

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!
