Westmoor Families,

We had a busy week as we began to finish up assessments, class placements, and end-of-year activities. Thanks to all our families and staff that joined us for the PTO-sponsored end-of-year picnic! The weather held out for the event, and our PTO volunteers did a fabulous job organizing a fun get-together. VERY BIG thanks to our Westmoor PTO for organizing the event!

We've officially finished up all the spring Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) assessments, and they will be sent home Friday, May 26, via email. I'm proud of our Westmoor Bulldogs for their hard work and perseverance throughout testing.

Have a fabulous weekend,

Mary

Family Math Hall of Fame

Calling ALL MATHEMATICIANS!! There is still time to play math games, fill in your sticker chart, and return it to school to join the Family Math Hall of Fame. We are accepting submissions through Wednesday, May 24th. So far this year, there are 34 members in the Family Math Hall of Fame, compared to last year with 26 members. First grade is leading the way with 24 students already meeting the Hall of Fame challenge. In first grade, Mrs. Adducci and Mrs. O'Brien's classes are neck and neck with Hall of Famers. Mrs. O'Brien has 13 and Ms. Adducci has 11. Congratulations to Nika, Max, Henrik, and Asher!

5th Grade iPad Collection

The last day for 5th graders to bring home their iPads will be Friday, May 19th. We will collect chargers from 5th graders beginning on Monday, May 22nd. Please return the district-issued Apple brand iPad charger and cord. Lost or damaged chargers will be assessed at $19 for charging bricks and $19 for the cord—$ 38 for both pieces. Only Apple-brand iPad chargers and cords will be collected. 

Spring Cleaning in the Westmoor Library

As Mrs. LaCerra and Mrs. Burnson prepare for the end of the school year, they are preparing for a bit of spring cleaning in the library. You can click on the link for information regarding end-of-year timelines.

Please take a few minutes to participate in our school building survey if you have not already done so. The survey will be used to inform our Long-Range Facilities Master Plan. 

Now is your opportunity to provide feedback and perspective on our school buildings in their current condition by completing a short survey.  If you have children at more than one school, please choose one. Each participant is allowed one response. Thank you for your time!

A scene from the April production of "Rock and Roll Forever."

The 5th-grade musical in District 28 is a rite of passage, and parents and students alike reflect on it for a long time. In the latest episode of the Insight28 Podcast, Dr. Pearson visits with each music teacher to talk about why it is an important component of the 5th-grade experience. You'll also hear students' perspectives. So let's have a little fun and experience what it's like to be on stage, what's behind all the effort and the lasting impressions it leaves on students.

To Michelle Nicholls, Anna Baharian and Joanna Lackey for all their help in planning and running our amazing event! Also, thank you to all our volunteers who helped make this a fun, successful and safe event!
