From the Principal...
Dear Westbrook Families,
We look forward to celebrating the winter season with a Westbrook Winter Wonderland Spirit Week from December 19th-22nd. Please view the flyer below for more information.
We are excited to welcome the Lincoln Middle School Show Choir to Westbrook next Tuesday for a winter performance. We thank our wonderful PTO and parent room reps in advance for organizing the kindergarten winter parties this coming week.
We are excited to celebrate the season!

LOST & FOUND
The Lost and Found is FULL!
Please be sure to ask your student to check the lost and found for their missing items.
Items not claimed will be donated to a local charity early next week.
Recess Reminders
Dress for Outdoor Weather
As the weather turns cooler, please ensure your children are dressed to go out for recess. Unless it is raining or the temperature / wind chill is too cold (15 degrees or below, real-feel temperature), the students will go out every day for recess. Please write your student’s last name on a tag for all belongings (coat, boots, snowpants, etc.) We already have a lot of coats and sweatshirts in the lost and found.
Items from Home
As a reminder, students can bring small items from home to play with during indoor recess. However, we do not want students to lose, trade, or break valuable items. As we head into the new year, we encourage parents to check in with their students regarding the things they bring to school.
Winter Coats
As the weather changes and the temperatures get colder,
there is a necessity for warm weather apparel.
If you or a family member is in need of a warm winter coat,
please contact Lisa Ryno at lryno@d57.org or (847) 394-7340.
Notes from the Nurse
Please keep your child home if they have a fever, have vomited, and/or have diarrhea. Your child may return to school once they have been fever free (without fever reducing medication), vomit free, and/or diarrhea free for 24 hours. Please reach out to your pediatrician if your child is sick and you have any concerns.
Please report all absences to the school by using the attendance line, the absence notification form or by emailing the teacher and / or the office.
Warm Regards,
Julie Tworek, RN
