• Weekly Update for WMS - 6/18/2026

  Greetings, Westbrook Middle School Community,

  Please see the following updates for WMS.

  Grade 8 End-of-Year Video

  Congratulations on the promotion from eighth grade to ninth. For those of you who were unable to attend the promotion ceremony yesterday, here is the Grade 8 End-of-Year Video. Enjoy.

  Summer Learning Academy

  The three-week Summer Learning Academy program begins on Tuesday, July 7, 2026 at 8:30 AM. Classes will take place from 8:30 AM until 11:30 AM on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays until July 23, 2026. The Academy offers personalized instruction to strengthen core academic skills in literacy, numeracy or English language acquisition, helping students maintain momentum and prepare confidently for next year. The district anticipates providing breakfast, lunch and transportation services for all participants. If you have any questions, please contact Summer Learning Academy principal, Heather Scholfield.

  Summer Reading

  Westbrook Middle School's Summer Reading Program is designed to help students remain engaged with reading and maintain academic momentum during the summer months. Research consistently shows that students who read regularly over the summer are better positioned to retain literacy skills and return to school ready to learn, while those who disengage from reading can experience measurable learning loss, often referred to as the "summer slide." One of the most effective ways families can support continued academic growth is by encouraging consistent reading habits throughout the summer. Regular visits to the library, access to books that match students' interests, and even 15–20 minutes of daily reading can have a significant positive impact on literacy development and overall academic readiness. Please see our Summer Reading Guide to help kids stay motivated, challenge themselves and keep track of their summer reading.

  Family Summer Supports

  As summer is upon us, we recognize that the transition away from the daily routines and supports provided by school can be challenging for some students and families. Through the CONNECTing School to Care IV Students initiative, several partner organizations have collaborated to create the attached Mental Health Support document. This resource provides information about behavioral health, mental health, and family support services that remain available throughout the summer months. While summer is often a welcome opportunity to rest and recharge, it can also feel isolating for some families. We encourage parents and caregivers to review the attached resources and keep them handy should support be needed while school is out of session.

  The Weeks Ahead (Note: subject to change)

  Date	Event
  June 19 - August 26	Summer Vacation!

  Athletics

  As we close out another successful year of middle school athletics, the Westbrook Middle School Athletic Department is already preparing for the 2026-2027 school year. We would like to thank our student-athletes, coaches, families, and supporters for their dedication, enthusiasm, and commitment throughout the year.

  Planning is well underway for another exciting season of middle school sports, and we are looking forward to welcoming both returning and new student-athletes to our programs this fall. Fall sports registration will open next week, and families should watch for additional information regarding registration and eligibility requirements.

  We are proud of everything our middle school athletes accomplished this year and look forward to another great year of competition, teamwork, and school spirit.

  Go Knights!

• Shoreline Arts Alliance Partners with Schools From Local Area

  Shoreline Arts Alliance Partners with Schools From Lyme-Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, and Westbrook to Host the First Annual Shoreline Arts Alliance Unified Arts Showcase 

  On Tuesday, May 5, 2026 at 5:30 p.m., Shoreline Arts Alliance will host the first annual Shoreline Arts Alliance Unified Arts Showcase at Flat Rock Gallery in Westbrook, Connecticut.  This formal gallery event is the celebration of a year-long partnership with area schools to create the first Shoreline Arts Alliance Unified Arts Showcase in the State of Connecticut.  Students from Lyme-Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, and Westbrook have been creating works of art through Unified Arts classes and afterschool clubs throughout the 2025-2026 school year.  Once a month, students and staff from all three school districts have met to work collaboratively on art projects, to strengthen community connections and friendships, and to develop their passion and skills as young artists.  Each school has created a town-shaped puzzle piece of art that will be displayed together at the showcase, highlighting the community and regional friendship of these three school districts. This will serve as a state-wide model that will grow into a larger map as the puzzle pieces of more towns are connected in the coming years.  In the years ahead, this event will continue to grow to include school districts throughout the State of Connecticut. 

  Lyme-Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, and Westbrook have a long history of working closely together in the well established CAS-CIAC Unified Sports Program- bringing students with and without special needs together across the State of Connecticut to compete in athletic events and to strengthen community commitment to belonging and inclusion for all students. This year, school staff from these three towns met with Shoreline Arts Alliance Director, Eric Dillner, to collaborate on the idea to expand these regional opportunities beyond just athletics and to create a showcase and formal gallery art show to support young aspiring artists.  Mr. Dillner shared his thoughts about the expanded partnership for a Unified Arts collaborative: “I’m excited to launch this initiative, highlighting Shoreline Arts Alliance’s mission to build inclusive, supportive arts communities—proving the arts can transform lives and are for everyone.” Since 1980, Shoreline Arts Alliance has been enriching the state of Connecticut and serving 24 shoreline towns as a Designated Regional State Arts Organization of the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development. These communities encourage, empower, and develop talented artists—transforming their lives in the process.  

  Dr. Kristina Martineau, Westbrook Superintendent of Schools, shared her excitement about the new program: “Our teachers in all three school districts have worked hard to create an amazing experience for our students to grow as artists together and as individuals. Our dedicated educators have spent countless hours of their time planning and leading regional events and school based activities throughout the year to teach our students how to grow as artists. And the kids have had so much fun together through it all. It has been an incredible experience and the art work our students have created this year is truly an inspiration.  I am most excited to see the town inspired puzzle pieces that will be unveiled at the gallery opening event in May.  I am grateful for the partnership with Shoreline Arts Alliance to support this vision of a regional unified arts model and for organizing and hosting what will be a memorable, impactful, and inspiring showcase of young artists from Lyme-Old Lyme, Old Saybrook, and Westbrook.” 

  Old Saybrook Public Schools Director of Student Services Sarah Smalley shared her thoughts about the strong regional partnership and the importance of continuing to strengthen opportunities for all students: “Collaborative opportunities for our students across our districts allow for the  expansion of social networks organically.  The ability to connect in art and community is a one of a kind experience and Old Saybrook is lucky to have neighboring districts work together to provide these occasions.  Adding this event to an already rich catalog of Unified opportunities helps further our collective missions of meaningful inclusion and experiences.”
