The Buzz at Westbrook
February 7, 2020
From the Principal...
Dear Westbrook Families,
It has been another exciting week at Westbrook! We celebrated the 100th day of school this week! Our first graders enjoyed listening to books during Leapin’ into Literature. We also had another special lunch! Thank you to our wonderful PTO for all you do for our students!
Kindergarten Enrollment
Online enrollment for kindergarten is now open! We will have in-person kindergarten enrollment on Friday, February 14, 2020 between the hours of 8:00 AM-3:00 PM - or - Tuesday, February 18, 2020 between the hours of 4:30 PM-6:30 PM. Spread the word! We look forward to seeing many familiar faces and meeting new Westbrook families! More information about the enrollment process for Kindergarten can be found on our school website.
Half Day - February 14
This is a friendly reminder that Friday, February 14th is a half-day for first grade. There is no school for kindergarten or preschool. First grade students will be dismissed at 12:20. Normal bus routes will run at that time. First graders should bring a morning snack. There will be no after school Kids’ Corner, so please let your teacher know of your dismissal plan. Thanks!

A Note from the Nurse...
All medications, whether prescription or over the counter require a completed school medication authorization form (physician completes the top portion, parent completes the bottom portion). The school medication authorization form can be found on the district website.
All medication must be brought to the health office by an adult in the original container.
Please notify the school nurse ahead of time if your child will be needing medication here at school.
Thank you!
