We have seen an increase in students arriving to school after 8:30. Remember that instruction begins at 8:30am. We encourage students to arrive before 8:30 so that they are not counted tardy and have time to get settled before instruction begins.

Meet Ms. Ibarra, who is Westbrook's Family Facilitator. Her role exists through a partnership with the Buffett Early Childhood Institute. Throughout the year, Ms. Ibarra will be hosting a variety of events for Westbrook families. She will also be hosting Socializations that are specifically for students ages 0 to 5 who are not yet enrolled in school to get practice socializing with other children and work on academic skills. The first Socialization is Tuesday Sept 12th at 5pm at Westbrook.

In addition to connecting with families, Ms. Ibarra will also be working with Westbrook students throughout the day practicing reading and social skills.

We are excited to have this partnership with Buffett Early Childhood Institute and hope you participate in some of our family events throughout the year! You can contact Ms. Ibarra at ibarra.genoveva@westside66.net.

Our Fall Fundraiser will be going from Aug 31st to Sept 15. Students will be bringing home a packet on Thursday, August 31st.

We encourage every student to register and share the information with at least 10 friends/family. The money will be used to support field trips for students, classroom grants for teachers to apply for, and more!

Be on the look out for the packets on Thursday.

Westbrook uses a positive incentive program called WOW cards building-wide. When students are caught doing something positive, they can be rewarded with a WOW card and then cash in those cards for prizes. We are looking for donations for additional prizes. If you would be willing to donate small packages of snacks such as Goldfish, Granola Bars, etc, we want to use them to incentivize students to continue to display positive behavior. Donations can be brought into the main office. Thank you for considering!
