Happy Sunday and welcome to November! On Friday, we recognized Cooperative students. I love how excited our students are to celebrate their classmates. We also sang our school song together for the first time. Mr. Marmorstein has been teaching the students this song in music class and it is the best song. He and the students created the song together which makes it even more meaningful. Enjoy!

I think 80% of our teachers had teary eyes by the end of that song. Every time I hear it, my heart is full! 💙💛


Upcoming Events: We have many upcoming events this month and next! Take advantage of the Dine Out on Tuesday at Tomatina. We all know odds are pretty good you need to go to Target anyway, so why not pick up dinner on your way home😂

November 10: No School in honor of Veteran's Day. 

November 13-17 is conference week.  Students are released each day at 11:25 am. Be sure to arrange your schedule and childcare to accommodate change. Also, we will have hot lunch available, but suggest you feed your child lunch at home. For children at Adventure Club and Right at School, we will be working with them to provide lunch. 

Many teachers have mentioned they haven't had many parents sign up for a conference time. Please be sure to sign up for a conference with your child's teacher. I love conferences. You get to learn about how your child is doing in class and you get to chat with their teacher. 

The end of that week will be a Toy and Clothing swap. Please drop things off during the week and come take advantage of the swap on Friday the 17th. 

Mark your calendars for December 1: The evening of December 1st from 5-8pm will be a Parent's Night Out. You can drop your children off with familiar faces and then go enjoy a few hours of fun and quiet. $30 per child, $75 max per family. 

December 14: Season of Giving Craft and Maker Fair! This is the evening the neighborhood Santa comes through the neighborhood. If this is your first holiday season in Roseville, it is really cool. Santa and his elves come through the streets of Roseville. We are going to make this quite an event at Westbrook and are partnering with the Solaire Neighborhood Association! More details to follow. 






Dates to Remember: 
November 7: Dine Out at Tomatina
November 10: No School- Veteran's Day
November 13-17: Conference Week and Toy & Clothing Swap
November 20-24: Thanksgiving Break 🙌
December 1: Parents' Night Out 5-8pm

  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...
