  High School Scheduling Process for 8th Graders

  We officially started the high school course selection process for eighth grade students yesterday. Westbrook High School representatives met with students in the WMS Library to review the Program of Study, academic expectations, graduation requirements, and available course pathways. Each student received a printed copy of the Program of Study.

  Students should finalize their course selections by March 27 in preparation for entering their official requests on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, during their regularly scheduled Social Studies class. This structured process is designed to ensure students and families feel informed and confident as they plan for the transition to high school.

  Students who are not currently planning to attend WHS will still participate in the full scheduling process. If they ultimately enroll at Westbrook High School or return during freshman year, a schedule will already be in place.

  Please ask your eighth grader about the Program of Study. They were instructed to take it home. For questions regarding course selection, please contact Rachel Kurek (Counselor, Grades 9–12), Amy Spagone (Counselor, Grades 6–8). Contact Leslie Carson, College and Career Readiness Coordinator, to schedule a time to pay WHS a visit, tour the facility and talk in more detail about what WHS has to offer. Regardless, they are all here to support families as they make the transition from WMS to WHS.

  Read Across America

  What could be more engaging than a snow day? Read Across America Day! Monday marks Read Across America Day, a national event encouraging both children and adults to dedicate extra time to reading. Students are encouraged to wear comfortable attire and, of course, bring a book, as we will be allocating additional time for reading. Extra reading time will be incorporated into the language arts period, and students are encouraged to keep a book accessible throughout the day.

  Families are encouraged to participate by dedicating time to reading—perhaps students could read aloud to a sibling, contact a grandparent, or engage with another family member. Consider selecting a book that has been adapted into a film, preparing popcorn, and reading it as a family, followed by a movie night.

  We wish you a Happy Read Across America Day!

• Westbrook Middle School Named #15 Best Middle School in Connecticut by US News and World Report 2025 Rankings

  Westbrook Public Schools is pleased to announce that Westbrook Middle School was ranked #15 in Connecticut by US News and World Report. The primary indicator in the Connecticut Best Middle Schools rankings data is student performance in mathematics and English language arts as measured by the Connecticut Smarter Balanced Assessment. Smarter Balanced assessment results from the last three years demonstrate strong student growth and high achievement in both reading and math year after year for Westbrook Middle School students.

  Dr. Kristina Martineau, Westbrook Superintendent of Schools shared, “While this ranking and related assessment data is just one measure of the success of our students and school community, we are so proud of our students and educators for their hard work to achieve at this level in company with the highest performing schools in the state of Connecticut. There is a strong culture of individualized support and deep level of commitment to all students in our care in Westbrook- our educators work hard each and every day to provide the best possible educational experience for our students.” 

  Westbrook Middle School Principal Matthew Talmadge shared, “Over the past several years, we have maintained a steadfast focus on providing a clear, coherent curriculum, adhering to traditional and proven literacy practices, and committing to research-tested teaching methods that create a strong foundation for student success. Combined with robust systems of reinforcement and enrichment for learners in need of support or advancement, we have created an educational model where all students can achieve at levels that match their potential.”
