Dear West Running Brook Families:
Happy New Year! We welcomed students back yesterday and were able to reestablish routines despite a very short week.
During advisories and intervention, teachers and students worked together to set goals for 2025, revisiting our “Hopes and Dreams” activity from the beginning of the year. We used these two days to set everyone up for success as we head into the new year. We encourage you to discuss the importance of goals with your children!
We begin our NWEA testing sessions on Tuesday, January 7. The entire building will test beginning at 7:45. It is important that students are on time to school and eat a solid breakfast prior to the testing session. Our next testing session will occur on Tuesday, January 14 and adhere to the same schedule.
We are also happy to welcome STEM Xplorations to WRB beginning on Monday, January 6. Jeremy Griffus will engage students in group activities focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Math. These presentations will occur during science classes over the next two weeks.
District Budget Presentation at PTSA Meeting - January 6 at 6:00PM
We welcome the entire WRB community to our PTSA Meeting on Tuesday, January 6 at 6:00PM to hear about the 2025-26 DCSD budget. We hope to see you there!
