WB Elementary School Project - Important Information

We would like to provide information related to the Elementary School Building Project in West Bridgewater. This information was shared previously with all WB families through our Aspen email system and with all WB staff. It has also been posted on the website and social media.

Our 3 elementary schools are old with buildings that were built in 1956, 1958, and 1968. We are looking at a variety of options for consolidation projects. We are also experiencing overcrowding concerns at all 3 elementary schools and with the projected enrollment numbers by the MSBA this will only get worse in the future.

On Monday, September 18th there was a Feasibility Study and Schematic Design information night for the community to learn more about the project. If you were not able to attend the meeting here is the link https://youtu.be/NeT4u6p-SE0

If you would like more information we highly encourage you to visit the website dedicated to the project. Here you will find links to the SBC members, minutes of meetings, the presentation at the information night, and other important documents. https://sites.google.com/.../wb-elementary-building.../home

Mr. Gary Keith (Chair of the SBC) and Superintendent Mark Bodwell made a presentation to the Finance Committee at their October 5th meeting. The Finance Committee asked great questions and voted unanimously in support. The Board of Selectman has also voted unanimously in favor.


On Monday, October 16th at 6 pm there will be a Special Town Meeting at the Middle/Senior High School in the auditorium. At this meeting, there will be a vote to appropriate funding for a Feasibility Study and Schematic Design.


We encourage anyone with any questions to please reach out to Mr. Bodwell at mbodwell@wbridgewater.com. We want to make sure all questions are answered as we go through this process.

Wildcat P.R.I.D.E. and "Pawsitivity" Points

Our Social-Emotional Committee is implementing a collaborative behavioral management program to support all teachers, in all learning environments. After all, RLM is ONE SCHOOL, ONE TEAM! All staff members have developed a uniform approach for guiding students to achieve common goals and expectations for mindful behavior. We want to help our wildcats grow to be the best that they can be. This includes accountability for mindful and purposeful actions, consistency, and upholding our district's PRIDE values.


Now, you may have heard your kiddo talking about Pawsivity Points. That is a good thing! Pawsitivity Points are distributed by all staff members as a reward/token for following school/classroom rules and expectations. Students save them in a classroom pocket chart and set a goal to spend their points at the school store. The School Store will be open on Fridays during the students’ snack breaks to allow students who have earned and saved enough Pawsitivity Points to select prizes.



ONE SCHOOL, ONE TEAM - keep making good choices wildcats!
