FY23 WB School District Budget
Below is a link to view the NEW BUDGET PRESENTATION. We hope families will review this google slides presentation. If you would like to review the past presentation you can find that on our website (under School Committee) or it is linked in our last newsletter (March 11th). We appreciate the WB families' support of our budget. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out. It is always our goal to be as transparent and open as possible with all budget-related questions.
Wildcat PRIDE
- Passion
- Respect
- Ingenuity
- Determination
- Empathy
This started at the MSHS as part of the NEASC Decennial Visit as we talked about integrating our core values throughout our school programs. We have also integrated our Academic Expectaions into our Wildcat PRIDE. It is great to see Wildcat PRIDE being talked about and part of the culture in each of our schools. Here are a couple of videos created by students at the MSHS in Mr. Crays TV Production class. Thank you to those who worked on the videos and those who volunteered!

Currently, grade 4 is engineering under a black light, grade 5 is performing a research project and creating a project, and grade 6 is working on a forensics unit on how to ID different pieces of evidence.

Cafeteria Corner - Ann Marie Grinder, Director
- It's been wonderful to see so many students participating in WB's Lunch and Breakfast program! With so many students taking advantage of universally free school meals, it is no longer evident which children qualify for meal benefits and which do not. #HealthySchoolMeals4All has really helped break down so many barriers related to the stigma of school meals.
- For those looking for an update as to whether free school meals will continue for every student after this school year and what's going on legislatively at the National and State level, please check out Project Bread

WB Inclusion Matters/WB SEPAC
Learning About Autism from Adult Autistics - celebrate ASD Awareness by making space for adult autistics to speak to you about their experiences. Here at Inclusion Matters, we're listening to autistics tell their stories. Instead of talking about autism, we'll be listening to autistics. We hope you'll join us for this not-to-be-missed way to celebrate autism in April. The Zoom link to join is here (or, always, on our FB event page or our website's event page): https://bridgew.zoom.us/j/95905350613 Hope to see you on April 5th!
Next Superintendent Coffee Hour - April 8th
The next Coffee Hour with Mr. Bodwell will be on Friday, April 8th starting at 9:15 am. The other building principals also continue to have Coffee Hours. We feel this is a great way to get information out to families and allow for people to ask questions and keep an open line of communication. Superintendent Coffee Hour. Apologies that there seems to have been an issue with the link provided for the March Coffee Hour. We have had these meetings virtually as many parents have said it works best for their schedules. I am open to also meeting in person so if you have any feedback on this please let me know mbodwell@wbridgewater.com
