• Although we love dogs, they are not allowed on school property when students are present. Please be sure to stay on the sidewalk or easement if you have a dog. Thanks!
• Parents must check in the front office before or after school if they need to visit the Lost and Found. We also encourage parents to have their children stop by the Lost and Found during the school day to retrieve missing items.

Click here to find a form you can fill out should you like 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 11, 2025.
