FY23 School Department Budget
We appreciate the support of the Board of Selectmen and the Finance Committee who have voted to pass the school's budget. Thank you for your support that meets the needs of our students and staff in West Bridgewater. The budget will now go to the May Town Meeting for the residents to vote on. This budget is a Needs-Based budget that supports what the schools need to operate for next year. A lot of planning and work has gone into building the budget. Thank you to our building and district administrators for all their hard work.
Below is our presentation and if any parents or citizens of West Bridgewater have any questions or concerns about the FY23 budget please reach out to Mr. Bodwell at mbodwell@wbridgewater.com or 508-894-1230 and he will answer your questions. We again want to thank the support for a fully funded budget that meets the NEEDS of our students and staff in West Bridgewater.

Into the Woods
The Drama Club was proud to present "Into the Woods" last weekend with an additional performance for the Howard School on April 6th. Hats off to the cast and crew who took us into the woods and out of the woods, celebrating Stephen Sondheim and all the greatness of musical theater. An extra "BRAVO" to the amazing performers from the class of 2022! We look forward to seeing what next season brings from the drama club.

Next Superintendent Coffee Hour - May 13th
Thank you to those who attended the meeting today!
The next Coffee Hour with Mr. Bodwell will be on Friday, May 13th 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. 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

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 Expectations into our Wildcat PRIDE. It is great to see Wildcat PRIDE being talked about and part of the culture in each of our schools. Next video to be shared will be INGENUITY.
