Dear West Running Brook Families:

The long weekend is upon us! It was an exciting week at WRB, as students continued their work with science Xplorations. We want to thank Jeremy Griffus for his wonderful work with our students. We also wrapped up most NWEA testing, with just few students needing to complete the assessments. 

REMINDER: There is no school Monday, January 20 in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day.

On Tuesday, we are fortunate to have “Corey the Dribbler” join us for two assemblies, showing off his amazing basketball skills and sharing his message of kindness and positivity. Thank you to the PTSA for funding this enriching opportunity for our community.  

Snack Bar

We are noticing many students buying snacks for other students from our snack bar. Although we love the generosity, we would like to remind everyone that students should not buy snacks for other students during school hours. 

Capital Improvement Public Forum

Join us for a Community Public Forum at West Running Brook Intermediate School on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at 6:30 PM, with a repeat forum on Tuesday, Feb. 18 at 6:30 p.m. at West Running Brook.

Families, staff, and community members are invited to join the Derry Cooperative School District School Board at one of two public forums to learn more about the school district's capital improvements bond. District administrators will present information regarding details of the bond, including proposed projects. Additional information regarding the district’s budget and teacher contract will also be provided. Attendees will be given the opportunity to ask questions and voice comments.

Beverages at School
We are noticing many outside beverages coming into school (Dunkin Donuts, Starbucks, etc.). Except for special circumstances, students should only carry a water bottle when at school. Other beverages can be consumed at lunch. Thank you for your support!
