Dear West Running Brook Families:
The weather was beautiful for most of the week, providing students with an opportunity to use our new playground! Everyone is enjoying the new climbing structures, basketball court, and four square areas. Thank you to everyone who made our new playground possible!
REMINDER: Wednesday, September 25 is an early release day. Dismissal begins at 11:45.
We continue to promote WRB CARES throughout the school. This week and next week the administration will visit teams to discuss cooperation. We will focus on ideas like the ability to work together with others to achieve a common goal, establish and maintain positive relationships, resolve conflicts, accept differences, and be a contributing member of a community. Please feel free to discuss these ideas at home!
Congratulations to this week’s Golden Bear winners: Mrs. Carson’s Green Period Math Class. They come to class prepared and ready to learn. They act with maturity and are terrific at cooperating with their group mates. They also show self-control every day. Great job!!
We look forward to our PTSA Back to School Bash next Friday, September 27 from 6:00-8:00PM. Please join us for music and games on the back field. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase. Thank you to our wonderful PTSA for putting this together! More information can be found HERE! We are in need of donations and volunteers. The Sign Up Genius can be found HERE!
REMINDER: School begins at 7:20. Morning Meeting should begin promptly at 7:25. This is an important part to our students’ success, helping them to connect with staff and prepare for their day. If you arrive after 7:25, your child is considered tardy. Please come to the office to sign in your child.
If you are dismissing your child near the end of the day, please park in the front of the building to avoid being stuck in the car pick up lane.
PickUp Patrol Update
Please make all dismissal changes before 1:15PM to ensure your child travels home in the appropriate manner.
When requesting your child to ride a different bus, please be explicit in your note as to who they are going home with (first and last name), address, etc. A bus pass issued by the office is necessary for a student to ride a different bus.
If your child is staying after for a club, please select student activity for the change and in notes list club and car pick up, extended day, etc. depending on your child’s plan after the club.
Pick Up Patrol can be used for dismissal plan changes as well as reporting student absences and tardies.
