Celebrate National Bike & Roll to School Day on Wednesday, May 3 by riding or rolling to school! Wear your Westgate spirit wear to celebrate and prepare to get rolling all through the month of May! Can't get to school on wheels? Want to participate from home? No problem! Bike Bingo cards will be distributed to all students who want to keep riding during the entire month of May. Turn your card into your teacher or the front office by May 25th to be entered into a raffle for prizes donated by local bike businesses.

Please remember there are 3 areas of bike racks on school property: 5th grade doors, the south parking lot, and the back circle. We anticipate many students needing to lock their bikes. Please be courteous and lock bikes with the tire facing forward, allowing enough space for others. And last but not least - don't forget safety first! Wear a helmet, ride with an adult, walk your bikes on school property, and lock your bike!

We are beginning the planning process for the 23-24 school year. Click this link to provide the school with any information you feel would be important as we consider placement for your child. Please know that the placement process for all of the Westgate students is extensive and well thought out. To that end, it is important to understand that requests for a specific teacher will not be considered, as allowing parents to request teachers puts a significant strain on an already extensive process. All staff members are committed to providing the best education for your children. This form is to be completed by Friday, April 21, 2023.
