Attendance Matters
EVERY DAY
# WE CAN WE WILL
Dear Westgate Families,
Dear Westgate Families,
We are thankful for YOU!
As we prepare to take time off from school from November 23-27th for the Thanksgiving break, we are grateful for everyone who has helped to restore a routine for showing up to school while supporting students and families.
Daily routines are essential for reducing stress and creating a sense of security, especially after the chaotic transitions experienced over the last two years.
As long as your child is healthy, please encourage showing up to class when school is in session. Every day of school is an important opportunity for students to learn as well as connect to peers and their teachers.
We thank you for continuing to do your best to help our students show up to class every day to ensure our students can make the maximum academic and social-emotional growth during the 2022-2023 school year. Our teachers will continue to go above and beyond to help make school a welcoming learning environment where students can thrive.
If your family needs additional supports, don't hesitate to get in touch with us or check out the resources located in the Weekly Family Email each week.
May these days off be relaxing and allow your family to recharge.
We look forward to seeing you again when school resumes on Monday, November 28th.
Thank you for partnering with us!
Sincerely,
Amanda Moon
Principal-Westgate
