Special Shout Out to these Baby Bruins who were rewarded today with a special trip to the Book Vending Machine for "Being a Bruin" in the month of October. Way to go! #WeAreBruins
These Baby Bruins have had a big week! First, they earned special incentives as a top-earning class in our Boosterthon. Next, they rocked our DanceFit day. And, they finished strong at a dance party with special guests for 10 days as Lanyard Leaders- well done! #WeAreBruins
Our WBP Bruins exceeded their Boosterthon fundraising goal! One fundraising incentive for reaching the goal was "Slime Mrs. Parke and Mrs. Napier." They held up their end of the bargain this morning on the morning news. #WeAreBruins
WBP Anchored4Life team leaders had their first meeting this week! They were introduced to the Team Leader role. They agreed that the quote, "Be a rainbow in someone else's cloud." by Dr. Maya Angelou, would be the words that guide their work @ WBP. Thanks Team Leaders! @a4lclub
The Baby Bruins in two KG classes were greeted by a special visitor at recess this week! The visit from a tree frog turned into a teachable moment about the ecosystem around the school and life cycles. #WeAreBruins
Thanks to our fantastic PTA, the Baby Bruins who earned a bookmark for being a BRUIN (B- Be Respectful, R- Responsible, U- Use Safe Hands & Feet, I- Include Everyone, or N- Nice Attitude) received a free book from the book vending machine this week. #WeAreBruins
Thank you to our Staff, the WBP PTA, CPS FACE, and Student Attendance Offices for your support of the Western Branch Primary Community at our Information Night this week. We were inspired, engaged, and empowered with valuable info to promote student success this year.

September is Attendance Awareness Month!
ICYMI, this year free breakfast & lunch is provided for all students at WBP. If you're ever in a hurry, add time to your mornings and let School Nutrition provide your Bruin with a nutritious meal free of charge! #AttendanceMattersVA
Meet the fantastic School Counseling team at WBP! Teachers and staff received additional training this week on the Zones of Regulation from their counselors. When students identify their feelings and emotions, they are empowered with a foundation in self-regulation.
The Baby Bruins were introduced to our "We are Bruins" themed PBIS procedures this week. We learned to identify our feelings using the Zones of Regulation, Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Use Safe Hands & Feet. #WeAreBruins#ZonesOfRegulation
The MTSS Framework has been a key focus of our professional learning this week. MTSS ensures all stakeholders receive the supports needed to demonstrate proficiency in academics, behavior, and attendance.
