Visitors and Volunteers

VISITORS AND VOLUNTEERS

Families are welcome in classrooms and we encourage you to visit.  However, we require you to arrange your visits in advance as a courtesy to our teachers.  Simply contact the teacher to arrange your visit. Please understand that bringing younger children along while volunteering is not allowed as it can be a distraction in class.  Once at the school, please check in to the main office and obtain a visitor’s badge. If you are not wearing a badge while on campus, we will ask for you to return to the office to sign in. This policy allows us to easily identify adults who are authorized to be on school grounds.  

 

Volunteers play a very important role at Westgate.  We invite you to become involved in a number of ways from classroom helper to field trip chaperone.  In order to volunteer, you must complete a Volunteer Application each year. Applications are are available in the office or on the Westgate website.    

WATCH D.O.G.S.

WATCH D.O.G.S. (Dad’s of Great Students) is an innovative program being used by schools across America, which helps them to be positively impacted by the committed involvement of fathers and father-figures in their student's life.  We encourage any father figures in students’ lives to sign up and spend the day with us!
