Dear Westbrook Families,
This coming week, our first graders will hear from Officer-Friendly Greg Sill from the Mount Prospect Police Department. The officer-friendly program aims to enhance students' safety and foster positive relationships. We are thankful to have Officer Sill provide an age-appropriate, engaging presentation to our students. We are also looking forward to a visit from the Mount Prospect Mayor, Paul Hoefert. Mayor Hoefert will be visiting our early childhood classrooms as part of the community helpers theme. Mayor Hoefert will be joining our early childhood learners during their story time.
We are already planning for the 22-23 school year. We have completed our Circle of Friends lottery, and Kindergarten registration starts on February 7th. If you have an incoming kindergartner or know of any incoming kindergartners, please spread the word that registration will begin soon! Families can call the Westbrook office to sign up for a registration date/time (847) 394-7340.
A friendly reminder that PTO special lunch will be on Friday, February 4th.
For your Children,
Danielle Crandall

Note from the Nurse: COVID-19 Vaccination Card Information
Dear Parents,
District 57 offers families the opportunity to voluntarily provide their child’s COVID-19 vaccination status. This information is important to have on file as students who are fully vaccinated (2 weeks post 2nd dose) do not need to quarantine if identified as a close contact (per IDPH guidelines) and remain asymptomatic. We are asking parents to send a copy of their child's Covid vaccination card to the health office after their child receives their second dose.
Thank you,
Julie Tworek, RN
