Dear West Running Brook Families:
We had our first measurable snowfall of the year! With the colder weather, please be sure to send students in with appropriate outerwear. We will be outside for recess if the “feels like” temperature is 20 degrees or higher!
Speaking of outerwear, we have some students wearing masks at recess. We ask that all masks stay at home. We appreciate your support!
Since this is the first year WRB has ever had recess, we are finding we are in need of activities for indoor recess. If you’re clearing out your closets, we would gladly accept gently used games appropriate for ages 10-12. Thanks in advance!
Report cards will be shared with families on Monday afternoon. New this year, report cards will be sent to your email as well as being able to be checked on the PowerSchool parent portal. Please feel free to reach out after Monday if you have difficulty accessing your child’s report card.
REMINDER: Wednesday, December 11 is an Early Release Day. Dismissal begins at 11:45.
Our Book Fair Family Event will be held on Thurdsay, December 12 from 4:30-7:30PM. PTSA will provide refreshments of cookies and cocoa in the cafeteria. Student Council will also host a “make-and-take” craft in the cafeteria. Join us for some books, refreshments and crafting! More information is available HERE.
The WRB Chorus will hold its FIRST EVER concert on Monday night in the gym from 6:30 to 8:30. Come see Mr. Gore lead our wonderful singers in a variety of lovely songs!
The Holiday Band Solo Night will take place Wednesday night at 6:00PM in the gym. The parents of students who are performing have already been informed. Come and join us for a fun night of music!
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
PTA Reflections
Deadline for entries for the Reflections PTA Program has been extended to Monday, December 9. We wanted to give students the weekend to finish up their entries. Below is all of the information:
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 on December 18 at 6:00 PM.
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 9, 2024 (please drop off in the main office of West Running Brook)
