5th grade has a new school counselor, Mrs. Gagner! We're happy to have her working with our 5th grade students this year.
Just wanted to let everyone know that the 23-24 school supply letters can be found under the For Families tab when you click on the Menu button at the top of the WMS website. They are also in the announcements.
NOT that we want to rush summer! Just for those who plan way ahead.... :)

Thank you to Mr. Johnsen who offered tie tying lessons in advance of our 8th grade promotion. Tying a tie is an important skill and he wanted to make sure that our kids were able to look their best that evening. Thank you, Mr. Johnsen!
Message to 8th Grade Parents/Guardians:
As we look toward the end of this school year, we have been planning for your child's transition to Westbrook High School and our end of the year activities. On Thursday, June 15, 2023, Westbrook Middle School will hold our eighth grade Promotion Ceremony in the Westbrook Performing Arts Center beginning at 6:00 P.M. This ceremony will celebrate the accomplishments of our students. All eligible 8th grade students are asked to attend this awards ceremony to receive their certificate of promotion to Westbrook High School. Students are asked to be at Westbrook Middle School no later than 5:45 P.M. to begin lining up for the Promotion Ceremony which will begin promptly at 6:00 P.M
That evening, following the Promotion Ceremony, a dance for all our eighth grade students will be held in the gymnasium until 9:00 P.M. Parents/Guardians are asked to pick up their son or daughter from the dance at 9:00 P.M. The promotion dance is for eighth grade Westbrook Middle School students only. There is no cost to students for the evening’s activities.
Our promotion ceremony is an important right of passage for our middle school students and we look forward to honoring them and all their accomplishments.
Respectfully,
Laurie Wood
Principal
