The Westgate Wire

• We will not have school on Monday to allow time for teachers and parents to meet. We will not have school on Tuesday due to Election Day. We look forward to seeing our Wolverines on Wednesday!
• We have many items in our Lost and Found. Tables will be set up outside the office during conferences. Please be sure to stop by and claim any lost items!

• The new playground equipment in the front of the building is now open! It is designed for younger students (K-2). Students are not allowed to play on the playground before school. After school, they must have an adult with them. We ask that 3-5 students not play on the equipment because it is not designed for students of their size. Thanks for your help in keeping our playground safe and operational!

• Although we love dogs at Westgate, they are not allowed on school property. If you walk to and from school with furry friends, please be sure to stay on the easement or sidewalks around the school. Thank you!

Students will be focusing on demonstrating Respect this November at Westgate. This will be the focus for when giving out West Great tickets as the character trait of the month. Please review with your students how they can show respect at school.

The Book Fair is here!! We hope you will stop in to the LMC during conferences to grab some amazing new books. You can get a sneak peak at titles or even shop online using this link (abcfairs.com). Your support will help us grow our collection and allow us to bring in celebrated authors and illustrators for FREE! Thank you so much for continuing to support the Westgate Library!
