Westgate Elementary School

Is your family planning to be at the beach or in the water this summer? Take advantage of getting your child a free life jacket tomorrow at the St. Pete Library!

Join St. Pete Fire Rescue at the Johnson Community Library tomorrow, June 18, for free life jackets for kids!

A message from Mrs. Kappeler for some 4th and 5th grade families: I will be checking student devices over the next month. You may receive an email that your student's device was checked-in, "in poor condition." This means the battery or hard drive was obsolete, and they will be issued an updated model.
It doesn't mean your student returned it in "poor" condition.

We try and keep a keen eye on all our laptops, updating whenever possible. Keep enjoying your summer!

Westgate teachers attended a week long training by The Dr. Harold Albers Teacher Ecology Camp and St. Petersburg Audubon. They learned about nature and how to bring it into their classrooms. They also practiced their woodworking skills, building nesting boxes for screech owls.

There are several informational sessions in our area. Consider mentoring one of our students next year, joining them for lunch and making a difference.

Grade Level supply lists are available on the school website: https://westgate-es.pcsb.org/academics/school-supply-lists

Don't wait until August. Get registered and get set for kindergarten!

Westgate Elementary will be a break spot for children under 18 to stop by and pick up a free breakfast and/or lunch this summer, beginning Monday through July.

Other nearby locations include the JW Rec Center and Tyrone Middle.

What an amazing day celebrating all of our graduates together! It was so special seeing our Wildcats come together from so many different high schools. We had a wonderful time celebrating our 5th graders along with all of our graduating seniors. Once a Wildcat, always a Wildcat!

For the second year in a row, students from Westgate had their writing selected for the Cross Creek Chronicle. Very proud of these two students from Mrs. Bauer's class!
