Westgate Weekly
May 3, 2021
Hello Westgate Families,
This week is Teacher Appreciation Week and it's an opportunity for the community to celebrate the wonderful work all of our certificated teachers are doing. This is a great time to talk with your student(s) about how we can show we care about others. Please encourage your student(s) to do a simple act (write a card/story, draw a picture) to show they appreciate their teachers this week.
Important update:
Upon further investigation with Public Health, the COVID case I reported (with direction from the Edmonds School District and the Snohomish Health District) on Monday April 26th was deemed to be a false positive. This case has been removed from the district COVID Dashboard. As a reminder, no students were quarantined due to this case. I apologize for any undue stress this put on our community. The district is committed to being transparent with their COVID communication and have a dashboard on the district website (click here).
Reminders:
- Student health attestations should be done by 8:00 am everyday they come to school.
- Read aloud books (YouTube channel) are now on the 'Storyline Online' button below.
