Dear West Running Brook Families:
Today we wrapped up trimester one! Grades closed today and report cards will be shared with families via PowerSchool on Monday, December 9. You will also receive a copy of the report card in your email.
As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, we want to express our sincere gratitude to the entire WRB community for your support throughout the first trimester. Your patience and assistance has been invaluable in establishing our intermediate school! As we move into the second trimester, we will continue our work to ensure that WRB students feel safe and happy so they can learn and work to their full potential.
The Student Council put together this beautiful “Attitude of Gratitude Turkey” which is displayed in our cafeteria. Feathers were given to all students and staff and we all shared something we are grateful for, no matter how big or small!
Reminder, Thanksgiving break begins tomorrow, Wednesday, Nov. 27. School resumes Monday, December 2.
NEW Work Completion Report
I am writing to tell you about a new feature in PowerSchool that allows you to get a report of all of your child's missing, late, or incomplete assignments in each class. This report pulls information directly from each teacher's gradebook and creates a list of assignments that have been flagged as either missing, late, or incomplete.
To access this report:
1. Log in to the Parent Portal. If you need help with your account, you can email DerryRegistration@sau10.org.
2. Click on Student Reports.
3. At the top of the screen, look for the heading: Currently Published Reports. Select T1 Assignment Completion Report - Intermediate. You can print this or save it as a pdf. You can click the X to return back to the portal.
The Student Reports tab on the Parent Portal is also where you can find all your child's archived reports from previous academic terms. When new learning reports (aka report cards) come out, we will email that to you directly, but they will also be archived and available to you at any time on this screen.
OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Family Event schedule and location: Thursday, December 12 4:30-7:30
PTSA Reflections
Student entry forms for the 24-25 Reflections Program have been sent home. We are hoping to showcase the amazing, artistic talent that we have at West Running Brook!
Reflections is a PTA Program that encourages kids to showcase their artistic and creative side. Students can submit an entry in accessible arts, dance choreography, film production, literature, music composition, photography and visual arts. Students will be judged at the school level and then may move on to state and possibly the national level.
All submitted entries will be on display at The Coffee Factory in mid-December- more details coming soon!
Please note: Each entry must be the original work of one student only. An adult may not alter the creative integrity of a student’s work. Because the program is designed to encourage and recognize each student’s individual creativity, help from an adult or collaboration with other students is not allowed except in the Accessible Arts division.
This year's theme is: "Accepting Imperfection."
Due Date: December 6, 2024 (please drop off in the main office of West Running Brook)
