May Newsletter from Administration and PTA

Dear Westbriar Families,

Ms. Tam sends her best and has appreciated the well-wishes from our parent community.

This week’s Wednesday folders included a link to our annual class assignment parent survey.   This is where you can share information on student strengths, learning style, and the type of learning environment best suited for your child.  The deadline to submit the survey is Friday, May 28th.   Use the link below to access the form.
