Happy Sunday! I just wanted to let you know that I do not take your flexibility for granted. Think of all the changes we have made to our flag salutes and character assemblies in the first few months of school! (In addition to many other things.) You all have both shared ideas and taken on the changes with impressive flexibility. Your willingness to do these things helps us to be more successful as a team as well as being a model for our students. Oh, don't worry, I am sure there are more changes to come!! 😂 Regardless, thank you!!


Speaking of thank you's, THANK YOU!! The love I felt for the entire last week was like nothing I have every experienced. I really don't know what to say, besides 'Thank you!' ~ from the bottom of my heart. In addition, the way the students showed their love for me was the sweetest. I think you all know how lucky I feel to be surrounded by each and every one of you each day. We are truly a family! 💙💛


Updated Lunchroom Expectations- Coming Soon! Our PBIS team is working on some updated visuals and possibly a video of lunchroom expectations. The kids are struggling a bit lately and we are going to do a reteach. We are open to ideas and suggestions. 


Lockdown Drill: This Friday at 8:30am, we will have a lockdown drill. This is the drill where you lock your door, put down the blinds and do your best to get the students out of site. It will take a bit because Rori and I will be coming around to check doors and classroom windows. Accounting for students on Raptor will also be important. Please have your walkies on because we will be using those too. Thank you!


Upcoming Dates: 
February 2: Intruder Drill (Lockdown) 
February 7: Skate Night 6-8pm
February 12: No School
February 19: No School

  Happy Sunday! This week we have our first assembly recognizing our Resilient students. I cannot how happy it makes me to hear students talking about what it means to be resilient. This is such an important trait I hope to grow in our students at Westbrook. All of you are the perfect examples to lead the way as you have demonstrated such resilience in the opening of Westbrook. Another thank you to all of you! The Assembly will start around 10:10am. Some grade levels will be coming straight from recess. Let me know if you have questions about the process of the assembly. I know it will be new for most of you. I will have the certificates in your boxes tomorrow.  Keep an eye out for SWIS updates and information this week.  Volunteer Update:  Jason Perrone, our resident cheerleader, put a sign up in the staff room for him to come in and read to your class with the intention of having you leave the room and get a break. He does not have a slot for everyone on this first...

This is what I put in the family blog but I want to share it with you, as well!  Happy Sunday and Congrats to all of my Niners Fans out there! I am bummed we did not pull of the upset but it was a great game. The Packers made some big mistakes at the wrong time, but that goes to show you, we all make mistakes even if we are paid an astronomical amount of money😂 I have to say, I loved so much of the game. I loved (and hated) how close it was. I loved the history of Shanahan and LaFleur. I also enjoyed hearing how the coaches trusted their young quarterbacks. It was a good one and that is all I have to say!  Staff Potluck on Wednesday, 1/24:   This Wednesday's staff potluck is breakfast for lunch! Check the sign up here: January Potluck 100th Day of School: This Friday, 1/26, is the 100th Day of School and we are 100 Days Brighter! Wear your neon. Dig into that 80's/90's bin I know you have just waiting for dress up days and theme parties!  Our Resilient Assembly is ...

  Welcome to December, Westbrook! I just have to say, you all rock! Thursday's paint night was so much fun. There was so much laughing and well, joy. We were the first staff to do a paint night at MoJoe's and it was the largest paint night group they ever hosted. Leave it up to us to be the first! Many of you commented on how much fun it was and some even asked why more staffs do not do it? Well, to be completely honest, I want all of you to think about the staffs you came from and ask yourself if there would have been so many people at an event like this? In my experience not many would have shown up or it would have been the same few who always come. Is it the same for you? This is one of the million reasons we are so fortunate at Westbrook. We all enjoy spending time with each other and we make the time to do fun things like this together. We are so lucky! I challenge you to keep this going. I never want there to be a time when we say 'remember when.' This is simply ...
