Dear Westgate Families,

I hope this finds you having a fantastic week!  Our Westgate Book Fair is in full swing and thank you to everyone that volunteered to help out.  As a reminder, our exciting PTA sponsored family assembly, "Books! The Magic is Real!" is TODAY, Thursday, November 21, at 6:00 p.m.  While attending the event, you can also pop into Family Night at the Book Fair which will be open from 5:45 p.m.- 7:15 p.m.  We hope to see many of our families here this evening! 

Thank you for your continued support of all things Westgate and have a wonderful rest of your week, and weekend ahead!

Federal Impact Aid Survey

FCPS is asking that all families complete a survey for Federal Impact Aid.  This federal grant program is designed to directly compensate local school districts that have been financially impacted by federal activities.  The form can be competed by the enrolling parent online in SIS ParentVue. We are asking that families to take a moment to access and complete the form.  If you have not activated your ParentVue account, please contact our registrar, Mrs. Tracy Green, at tmgreen@fcps.edu.  If you did not complete this online, a paper copy should have been sent home with your child.  Please return as soon as possible. We appreciate you taking the time to complete and submit the form for your student(s).


Calling all Westgate Families

November is Family Engagement Month and we have recently, and will continue to, celebrate many student holidays and traditions this fall and winter.  We are inviting you to your student’s classroom to share a tradition, craft, or presentation that highlights your culture or something you hold important as a family.  This can be delivered in a variety of ways.  You can come in person or share a presentation with the classroom teacher for your student to share with the class.  The goal is for our students to learn more about one another through the amazing stories, and the rich history of the families in our school community.  Teachers will be reaching out this week with more sign-up information.  We look forward to seeing many of you in our classrooms over the next month!
