The Westgate Wire

It has been a great week!

Below are a few things to put on your radar...

• SAVE THE DATE-Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on October 12th-13th. Parents will receive an email on September 18th at 7:00 p.m. with a link to sign up for a conference.
  
• We hope you will join the PTA meeting on Wednesday evening (Zoom link below if you cannot attend in person). Dr. Bein will join us to talk about construction.
• We look forward to seeing our Westgate families at the PTA Fall Fest event next Friday, September 22nd. Please note, this event will occur at Pioneer Park, not at Westgate.

Mark your calendars for our general PTA meetings at 7-8p in the LMC or via Zoom.
