The Buzz at Westbrook School
May 14, 2021
From the Principal...
Dear Westbrook Families,
It is hard to believe that we are already in the middle of May! We are so appreciative of your support and partnership during this time. I hope you and your family had opportunities to play, tinker, create, and read together this week!
Upcoming Half Day - Friday, May 21nd
On Friday, May 22nd, there will be a half day attendance for students throughout the district.
At Westbrook, only 1st grade students will attend school from 9:20am-12:20pm. Kindergarten will not have school on this day.
The Kids Corner program will only be available to our 1st grade students from 7am-9:20am. Please make sure to inform your private daycare providers of this variance in schedule. Please contact the office if you have any questions (wb-office@d57.org).
On this day, the Westbrook staff and I will engage in our work to create the groups of children that will comprise next year's classes. The class placement process is one that takes a considerable amount of time and collaboration among teachers and will not be truly finalized until August. In creating classes, we strive to take into account the social, emotional, academic, and creative aspects of every child. Our goal is to form balanced heterogeneous classes in which each child can succeed.

The Mount Prospect Public Library has a lot of wonderful resources for you and your family. This week, Carol Capra and her team, joined LRC classes to talk about the library’s Summer Reading Program. Please check their website www.mppl.org to learn more about the resources the library has to offer. Information regarding their Summer Reading Program, which runs between June 1st and August 31st, will be available on the MPPL website at the end of May.
Has Your Family Recently Moved or Are you Planning on Moving?
Planning for the 2021-22 school year is underway! If your child will not be returning to Westbrook for the next school year, please email wb-office@d57.org. (This does not include 1st graders going to Lions Park or Fairview.)
Wishing you and your family well,
Kristin Vonder Haar
