Dear West Running Brook Families:
The first week of school was a great success! Thank you to the entire community for your hard work and cooperation! Without the amazing team effort, things would not have gone so smoothly!
Today all students participated in team building activities. Our fifth graders traveled to Camp Carpenter while our sixth graders worked with staff with UNH’s Browne Center here at WRB. We believe activities such as this help forge bonds that will last for the school year and beyond!
**REMINDER: THERE IS NO SCHOOL TOMORROW, FRIDAY, AUGUST 29. THERE IS ALSO NO SCHOOL MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1 IN OBSERVANCE OF LABOR DAY**
Each Friday we will share a newsletter via ParentSquare. It will also be posted on our website, https://www.sau10.nh.gov/schools/wrb. This is the place to find the most up to date information about things happening at WRB.
This week we looked to acclimate students to classes and continued to work on building our culture. Students were fully engaged in morning meeting, discussing the WRB Way and WRB C.A.R.E.S (Cooperation, Assertiveness, Responsibility, Empathy, and Self Control). Each week throughout the year we will focus on one aspect. Next week will focus on cooperation. Students will discuss and develop strategies on working with others to achieve a common goal, establishing and maintaining positive relationships, and contributing to a group or community.
Safety Drills
Over the course of the year we will practice a variety of safety drills. If your child has not discussed these yet with their advisory teacher, they will do so in the next few days. We plan to have an evacuation drill very soon, with other drills following shortly thereafter.
