Happy Halloween from the Westbrook staff!! Thank you to all of you that came along with us on our costume parade, helped out with classroom activities, and sorted shirts! I say it time and time again, but the love and support from our community is like no other. 

I took a couple of trips into the 'wild' this weekend. One was to the craft fair at John. L Sullivan Park and the other was a walk through the Winding Creek neighborhood. In both places, I saw so many families and kids!! I love that there are so many children in these neighborhoods and that they spend so much time together. It really shows what a community we are and I feel lucky to be a part of it! 

Reminder: No school on Monday and Tuesday! The teachers will be busy learning, but I hope the children will be getting some extra rest! We will see you Wednesday, 11/1. You may want to set an alarm for pick up. That is a Wednesday, so the students are released at 12:42pm. I tend to forget those things after a long weekend. 

Grade Level Shirts: The grade level shirts are coming your way!! This has been a HUGE undertaking! Traci, and a team of many, put hours into sorting and delivering. This Wednesday is going to be our first official grade level spirit day! Wear your grade level shirt this Wednesday and every Wednesday from now on! 


Upcoming Skate Nights: Don't worry, we do not have a skate night this week😂 Our skate night last week had pretty light attendance, which I think was due to the fact that it was a busy week, but also because I felt like it snuck up on me. I wanted to share the skate night dates for the rest of the year, so you can put them on your calendar. They are such a fun night for both kids and adults. 
Our Skate Night Dates are:
December 13
February 7
March 6
April 3



Dates to Remember: 
October 30 and 31- NO SCHOOL (Professional Development Days for teachers.)
November 10: No School- Veteran's Day
November 13-17: Conference Week
November 20-24: Thanksgiving Break 🙌

  Well, Hello March! I cannot believe March is upon us. The rest of the year is absolutely going to fly by. It is nuts! The kids have grown so much this year and made so many friends. It is going to be hard to part for summer, but I am not even going to think about that yet! There are too many things to do before we get there.  Read Across America Week: This is going to be a fun week. It is 'Read Across America Week' at Westbrook. We have dress up days and fun activities planned for the week. See the picture above for our dress up days. It is going to be a lot of fun!  Parenting Tips: One of the best things you can do for your child is to allow them to come up against a challenge and work through it. I know it may sound like I am repeating myself, but it is because we are seeing a trend in our students. Many of our students lack the coping skills to navigate through a tough situation. Of course, it is easier to avoid meltdowns and blow outs by preventing them for our ch...

Happy Sunday, Families! In true Westbrook style, we are finishing the year with a bang! Our First Responders Day was absolutely amazing and there were so many of our parents participating! What a gift! I don't think I will surprise anyone when I say I think it will be even bigger next year!  This image is funny because A) we are almost at the end of the school year and B) I will be on you about parking lot procedures next year, too!! 😂 Field Day: Field Day is this Wednesday! It is going to be so fun. This is not an event where parents can come watch, but you can definitely come help! There are a few spots left.  Sign up here: Field Day Volunteers.  Yearbooks: Our yearbook have arrived! There were not many orders but the good news is you can still order a yearbook. I will be sending an email on Tuesday with information about hoe to do that. If you did order one, your child will get their yearbook soon. We are dividing them up now. We have learned some lessons about shar...
