Greetings from WBS!

What an amazing start of the 2024-2025 school year we have had! Our students have transitioned back to ​school seamlessly and are adjusting to the routines and schedules of getting back into school mode. Thank ​you parents, for preparing your children for their return to school. It has been great welcoming everyone ​back.

Thanks to everyone who attended our Back to School Night on Thursday September 5th. I hope that you ​found the evening to be helpful and informative. Our teachers did an amazing job of communicating ​everything you need to know about their classroom routines and expectations. I was blown away with the ​amount of positive feedback I received regarding our PBIS initiatives this year and we look forward to ​partnering with you as we navigate expected school behaviors this school year. At the core of all we do, is ​our Bears Pledge.

The principles of the Bears Pledge are what unites us in a common mission focused on safety, responsibility ​and respect. We will continue to instruct our students on behavioral expectations across the building ​through the language of what we should “look like” and “sound like” in each of the following settings: ​classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, bathroom, bus, car rider line, assemblies, and recess. Our hope is that ​when home and school use similar language and the expectations are consistent across all school settings, ​are students will feel a sense of security in knowing the expectations are clear for all.

I will be sharing out our progress through the lens of PBIS at our home and school meetings to keep our ​dialog ongoing. Please join me at our first Home and School meeting of the year on Tuesday September 17th ​in the WBS Library at 7:00 PM.

Thanks for ALL you do to support our school community,

Mrs. Hadfield, Principal
