Hello Junior Parents,
 
Some Taos trip notes:
 
As you are filling out the two permission slips for the Taos trip, here is some info you will need:
Address of the church (New Beginnings Church) where we will stay:
551 Cruz Alta Rd. Taos NM 87571
Date of the Llama hike: Wednesday May 22nd
Also, please provide your initial $200 deposit as soon as possible to help us in planning for this trip along with the two permission forms.
 

We’d like to encourage you to add yourself to the mailing list to receive weekly updates for any class your student is currently taking. As the year progresses to a close, content and expectations are, naturally, becoming more rigorous. As is the Westgate way, we will continue our focus on meaningful in-class activities and project-based learning. We encourage you to sign up for our weekly updates to close the communication loop.  
 

Below are links to staff pages for High School Teachers. There, you can choose what specific class updates to receive.

Prom is coming. Join us for a fantasy dream on the evening of April 4 at Stonebrook Manor. Clear your calendar. A special thanks to our student leadership group for their continued work on this event and to the seniors for voting for the fantasy theme. It will be our best prom yet.  

 

We expect students to use the pod judiciously and with teacher permission. Similarly, there should only be one student out of a classroom at a time using the restroom. This lets us manage fire drills and parent calls.  

 

  • As a reminder, freshmen can leave campus for lunch this semester if we have a parent consent to leave form. If you haven’t done it yet, ask Mr. Cuevas for one.
