Principal's Message

Dear Falcon Families,

Happy October! It’s hard to believe we are already moving into the second full month of school. September was full of energy, growth, and community as our Falcons settled into routines, built friendships, and embraced new learning. Thank you for your partnership in making the start of our school year such a success.

As we step into October, our focus continues to be on creating a welcoming, supportive environment where every child can SOAR. You’ll see this reflected in the engaging classroom activities, kindness initiatives, and community events happening throughout the month. We are also keeping a close eye on student attendance, as being present and engaged every day plays a critical role in your child’s success. (You can read more about this in this week’s article.)

This month brings many exciting opportunities for our Falcons—spirit days, community celebrations, and of course, lots of joyful learning. I encourage you to stay connected by checking The Westbriar Weekly each week and marking your calendars for upcoming events.

Thank you for all you do to support Westbriar and your children. Together, we are building a school community where kindness, curiosity, and achievement shine every day.

With gratitude,
Sallie R. Burch, Ed.D.
Principal
