Westgate Community School Home

Happy September, Westgate Families!

 

As we transition into early Fall, we are eager to share some important updates and upcoming events that are designed to foster a stronger school community and enhance student development.

 

This month, our Advocacy classes will focus on the theme of self-awareness. We believe that helping students develop a strong sense of self-awareness is crucial for their growth, both academically and personally. Self-awareness allows students to understand their emotions, strengths, and areas for growth, helping them make informed decisions, build healthy relationships, and navigate their school and social environments with confidence. We encourage you to talk with your children about what they are learning in their Advocacy classes and how they are applying these concepts in their daily lives.

 

We are also thrilled to announce our Parent Engagement Nights for this month! These events are a fantastic opportunity for parents to connect with teachers, learn more about what’s happening in the classroom, and engage with the Westgate parent community. Please see the schedule below and RSVP using the provided links:

September 9: 3rd & 4th Grade - RSVP to Attend
September 11: 7th & 8th Grade - RSVP to Attend
September 12: Kindergarten - RSVP to Attend

We look forward to seeing you there and working together to support our students! Please remember these are adult evenings. No child care is provided.

 

Mark your calendars for our Friday Community Connect on September 20th at 11 AM. This event will focus on the Adams 12 Bond and Mill Levy Overrides as well as our 2024 School Performance Framework from the Colorado Department of Education (CDE). This is an excellent opportunity for our community to come together, learn about important school updates, and discuss how we can continue to support our students’ success. The Connect recording will be emailed out after the live broadcast.

 

Finally, we want to remind you that Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on September 26th (1 PM - 5 PM) and 27th (8 AM – 8 PM). Sign-up information will be sent out on September 16th, so please keep an eye on your email for more details. Conferences are a wonderful opportunity to discuss your child's progress and collaborate with teachers to ensure they have the best possible educational experience.

 

Thank you for your continued support and partnership. We are looking forward to a fantastic school year filled with growth, learning, and community.

 

Warm regards,

Sharon Collins
