W E L C O M E !

Westgate Elementary School is a remarkable learning community made up of dedicated students, teachers, staff, parents, and community partners. The mission of the Westgate Parent Staff Organization (PSO) is to provide and improve opportunities and enrichment, such as programs, grants for teachers, and field trips for all students in our school. 

 

Fund-A-Need and More

Please consider making a 100% tax-deductible donation to the “Fund-A-Need and More” section of the website.  One of the most impactful ways the PSO supports our school is by providing school supplies to each and every Westgate student. This benefits our families and teachers and cuts the costs for supplies in half through bulk purchasing.  The total cost of providing school supplies for the 2025-2026 school year now totals more than $10,000.
