Progress Reports - T3
Greetings from WBS!
It is hard to believe that we are officially entering our third trimester of the school year. Time flies when our students are engaged and growing positively in their learning. It has been such a thrill to see their growth and achievement!!
Tonight at 7:00 PM, WBS parents and guardians will have access to their childs’ progress report in Home Access Center (HAC). I encourage you to review your childs’ progress report and celebrate all of the growth your child has made this year. Our students are working so hard each and every day to grow academically as well as socially. I have been witness to many amazing “light bulb” moments this year and enjoyed seeing our students learn and grow. Our teachers and staff are truly dedicated to their craft and deeply embrace the SASD instructional approach of teaching the whole child, which includes all aspects of learning. Thank you parents for being our partners in celebrating a love of learning and discovery!
Think Spring!

We were WOWed at the amazing chemical reactions on display at the assembly. Fire, elephant toothpaste, and liquid nitrogen!
Kimmel Center Pics
Thanks to generous funding from the Indian Valley Education Foundation, third graders at West Broad Street Elementary School traveled to the Kimmel Center for a Philadelphia Orchestra School Concert performance. They learned all about the musicians and the concert hall. It was an incredible experience!
