From the Principal...
Dear Westbrook Families,
I hope you and your family have been able to enjoy some outside fall activities together. Our early childhood students have been learning all about fall and farm animals. The early childhood classes are looking forward to pumpkin activities coming up next week. Our kindergarten students are also learning about farm animals, including farm animal babies. The kindergarten classes have been visiting our beautiful trees outside for science class to observe and draw the changing colorful leaves. First grade is looking forward to pumpkin math activities this month. First-grade students are also working hard on their writer's workshop small-moment stories. Students are learning to write a story from their life focusing on one small part.
There are so many wonderful things going on in each of the Westbrook classrooms. Please read the classroom newsletters from the teacher weekly so you can engage with your child and discuss what is going on at school.
Please review the information below regarding Halloween and parent/teacher conferences.
For your children,
Danielle Crandall
Halloween is quickly approaching. The Halloween parade schedule is below. Families are invited to attend the outdoor parade (weather permitting) at their child’s assigned time. We will walk out of door #1 and parade around the school. Please spread out so that all families can see the students walk by.
Students are invited to wear their costumes to school for the full day. It is important to ensure students are in comfortable costumes to sit in the classroom and use the bathroom. Please help your child make safe and respectful decisions about their costumes. Students may wear an appropriate mask in the parade but not during school. Make-up, weapons, fake blood, or inappropriate dress are not allowed. All costume accessories will be left in the classroom for recess and lunch. Students may not bring food or candy to share.
