Personal Belongings

A question we often hear from families is:  “Is this allowed at school?” The answer: Only if it is helping your child and/or other children to be safe, respectful, responsible and engaged.  Our expectation at Westgate is for students to be focused on learning throughout the school day. If a child brings a toy/electronic device, etc., from home that is distracting from his or her learning or the learning of others, they will be asked to put it away.  Students are responsible for things they bring from home. Students are not allowed to have toys or devices from home out at recess. If you have items that are important to you and your child, are expensive or that you don’t want broken or lost, please keep those items at home.  The school is not responsible for broken or lost items.
