May Newsletter from Principal Tam

Dear Westbriar Families,

In less than four weeks, we will be closing out our 2021-2022 school year.  I know everyone is looking forward to a much needed summer break.  Teachers will be sending out communication regarding end of the year procedures regarding your child’s laptop return.  In order to not miss important end of the year information and deadlines, please be sure you are receiving your child’s class newsletter and other important information posted in our weekly Wednesday Folder emails. 

This is our last week of full SOL testing, the rest of our SOL testing window will be focused on retakes and make-ups.  Thank you families for ensuring your child/children got a good nights sleep and came ready to take their SOLs.

2022 Parent Input Survey Reminder

Each year, parents have the option to provide insight and information about their child(dren) to Principal Tam regarding class placement for the upcoming 2022-2023 school year.  Specific teacher requests will not be accepted due to possible staffing changes that can occur throughout the summer.  The link can be accessed here:  https://forms.gle/ifSvuem9isiKTxqF8
