Thank you.

As the colder weather arrives, students are bringing their winter gear—jackets, snow pants, hats, mittens, and boots—to school each day. We’ve noticed that many students have similar or identical items, especially black winter boots.

To help prevent any mix-ups and make it easier to return lost items, please ensure that all of your child’s winter clothing is clearly labeled with their name. A simple label or their name written in permanent marker can make a big difference!

Thank you for your help in keeping our lost and found manageable and ensuring everyone goes home with their own winter gear.

Westboro has several fundraisers that are ongoing year round! Please see the information below to learn how you can participate!

The Guide to Reporting Student Achievement (GRSA) and School Education Plan (SEP) for the 2025-26 school year are now available! The GRSA explains how the school assesses student achievement, determines grades and more. The SEP details the school’s priorities and goals for the year—with key strategies and measures in achieving these outcomes. You can access Westboro Elementary's GRSA and SEP through the two corresponding home page tiles at www.westboroelementary.ca.

Kids experience all sorts of feelings and emotions. They aren’t born with emotional regulation skills, they learn them over time through modeling, guidance, practice, and experience. There are lots of ways you can help your child learn to manage their emotions. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
