School Planning Engagement

We know we make better decisions to support student learning when we build understanding and work together. That’s why we are asking you to share your perspectives about our school development plan, school budget and school fees.

* The survey is open from Tuesday, March 14 at 12:00pm to Tuesday, March 28 at 11:59pm.

Your input is important to us, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your perspectives.

The survey results will be posted here on our school website on April 6, 2023.

Book Fair

The Scholastic Book Fair was a huge success. Thank you to all our parents, students and teachers for supporting the Scholastic Book Fair. Due to everyone's generosity, sales were over $16,000 of which Westgate will receive approximately $9,000 to support our library collection. A special thank you to all the volunteers that helped make this event a huge success.

The door prize winner was William in Mme Janell’s class.

Spring Celebrations

In recognition of the many diverse and unique ways that students celebrate the spring season, we invite families to share stories, insights, artifacts or pictures to support us in ensuring that we honour and reflect all of the ways that students mark spring in our school. We share these throughout the school, in hallways and between classes to support each student in their learning and sense of belonging. If you have anything to share, please connect with your child's teacher or with Mme Stephanie (403)777-8420.

Science Fair

Sincere thank you to M. Julien, Mme Erbacker and Mme Jacques for organizing this year’s Science Fair. Students, staff and parents were all very impressed with the quality of work done by these exceptional students. Certificates were distributed to all participants and the winners of all gold stars were announced at the end of the day. Congratulations to all of our participants!

Grade 5 Assembly – March 23, 2023

The Grade 5 teachers and students will be performing for staff and students at 10:05am and 1:00pm. The theme of the assembly is “Electricité” and there will also be a musical performance. Families of Grade 5 students are welcome to come, please arrive between 10 and 15 minutes before the start of the assembly.

Looking for a Veterinarian

Mme Janell's Kindergarten class is learning about dogs and cats. We've made a list of amazing questions such as:

When dogs bark, what are they saying to each other?

Why does my cat sleep so much?

Why does my dog sneeze?

Why do dogs go crazy when somebody comes to the house?

If you are a veterinarian or know a veterinarian who would be willing to have an online meeting with her class to answer these questions (15 minutes long) please email Mme Janell at jlmcdonald@cb.ab.ca.
