Welcome to the 2025–2026 School Year, Westgate Families!
 
The halls are once again alive with the joyful energy of students and teachers, and we couldn’t be more excited to begin this new school year with you. As administrators, we look forward to this day all summer long—when the planning, preparation, and hard work come to life through the laughter and learning of our students. The first day of school always brings a mix of excitement and nerves for students and families alike, and we are here to support you through it all.
 
It was wonderful to see so many of you at Back-to-School Night! We’re excited to continue connecting at our upcoming Family Engagement Nights.
