ELC – Preschool, Pre-K, Kindergarten
Friday, December 8, 2023 | 6:30 pm | Westlake Gym
The school doors will open at 6:00 pm. Students should arrive by 6:15 pm and go to the main building. Directions for each class will be posted inside the main hallway. One parent should take the student to the assigned classroom, and other family members may find a seat in the gym.
Concerts are a dress-up event, and students should wear their “Christmas Best” attire (no jeans).
Parking
If there will be two adults in your vehicle, please drop off all passengers at the front door, to minimize the number of people walking in the dark parking lot. Families should arrive in as few vehicles as possible. Additional parking will be available behind the school on the playground blacktop, but we anticipate that some families will need to park on the street.
After the concert, parents should remain seated in the gym until they are dismissed. Students may be picked up in the room where they were dropped off before the concert.

Please enter through the North Doors and proceed to the multi-purpose room. Parents should hold on to student coats for the duration of the concert.
We love to hear our students praising God with their voices and the sound of their instruments! The generous support of friends and family helps students receive a well-rounded, Christ-centered education at Westlake Christian Academy. Please consider donating today!
