Dear Westbrook Middle School,
One of the goals of the 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 school years is to define the WMS core values. Our staff brainstormed on what makes WMS unique and what defines us as a middle school. We began this journey by asking our students to design “the most exceptional middle school in the whole world.” What would this school look like to them? As a staff, we identified the purpose of public middle schools and the values of the Westbrook community.
Below are words that we have identified throughout this process that best represent Westbrook Middle School. Please take a moment and click on each word to view a document created collaboratively by WMS staff members. Each document is broken down into WHY, HOW, and WHAT. The WHY is our core value, the HOW identifies how we achieve the WHY, and the WHAT outlines what students can expect and experience in our school relating to that core value.
We want all stakeholders to have a voice during this process, and are asking for your contributions as WMS parents. Use the following link to submit your vote on which values best represent WMS, or on which values you would like the middle school to focus. We will continue to focus on more than just the listed values but will start with your four top choices. These core values are meant to be fluid and that we will revisit them when we feel the need.
