We are really looking forward to welcoming Westgate families to the school this year for “Meet the Teacher Night” on Thursday, September 17 from 5:00pm – 6:15pm.
The format, which is the same as last year, allows for two possible windows of time for families to attend the classroom presentation. There will be no requirement to sign up for a specific time. Teachers discuss routines, curriculum, field trips and how you can support your child(ren) from home. If you have specific concerns about your child’s performance, please reach out to your teacher to arrange a separate meeting time or phone call.
GRADES 1 TO 5
4:45-5:00pm – Doors open
6:00-6:15pm – Families Depart
5:00-5:30PM – 1st Classroom presentation
5:30-5:45PM – Transition to 2nd classroom
5:45-6:15PM – Repeat presentation
Music – Both Ms. Kim and M. Klippenstein will be available in the Music Rooms.
There is no need to sign up for a specific session.
During each block of time, in their classrooms, teachers will present daily routines, program of studies, proposed field trips, special activities and projects throughout the year to come as well as ways you can support your child at home.
Due to the number of families expected space in classrooms will be limited. The information being presented is intended for parents and guardians.
During these sessions, there will not be time for teachers to have specific conversations about your child. At the beginning of the school year, you will have received a survey from your child’s teacher giving you the opportunity to share any important information about your child. This information will help the teacher better understand each of their students. If you feel like it’s important for you to arrange a separate conversation (either phone call or (virtual) meeting) with your child’s teacher, please contact them by email; staff contact list is available here.
KINDERGARTEN – Mme Janell, Mme Christina, M. Jake, Mme Cassidy (Please book an appointment)
