Welcome to SPIRAL at our new home, Westwood Elementary, and to our new program director, Ms. Monique Pendola. We are so excited for a great year of learning and growth!

The GATES Booster Club will continue to support teacher appreciation, purchase of classroom supplies and support enrichment programs for the SPIRAL Program. We would love for you to get involved by joining the GATES Booster Club, volunteering or contributing to our family and business sponsorship campaigns.

ATTEND SPIRAL ORIENTATION

Save the date for SPIRAL Orientation and Spirit Wear Pickup!

This presentation is for parents and the kids too. You’ll get to see the new campus, meet the teachers and our new director, Ms. Monique Pendola! The GATES booster club will also say a quick hello too!

Both sessions will be identical, so you only need to attend once.

We will also have Spirit Wear, purchased last Spring, ready for pickup.

Parking is limited so please see the details on the second page with directions to the back parking lot for overflow parking.

- JOIN THE CLASS GROUPME -

Join only the groups that apply to your student(s).

These groups remain the same block of students each semester. For example, if you're moving from Ms. Song to Ms. Chu, you do not need to join a new GroupMe, the new teacher's name will be updated as you move through the rotations.
