Dear Westgate Families,
Today is the last day of school for Westgate students. Our “Gator Fun Day”, was a huge success, students and teachers genuinely enjoyed the day. Sincere thanks to Mme Allan and Mme Erbacker for their time and efforts to organize this for our students. As another school year draws to a close, I am confident that, like me, many of you are looking forward to a restful and enjoyable summer. It has been another very successful year at Westgate School.
Please see my year end Principal Blog entry here.
The staff at Westgate School would like to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable summer and look forward to seeing you in the fall.

Google and Brightspace by D2L
On June 30, anyone leaving the CBE will lose access to all CBE platforms (staff and students leaving CBE and grade 12 graduates). This includes access to:
- Brightspace by D2L

By the end of the day, June 30, students must take copies of the information they need before they leave the CBE.
