Westmoor Plastic Challenge

Westmoor School is embarking on the Plastic Challenge with Joey Fine Rhyme! This PTO-sponsored science-in-residence program has two main goals for the next few weeks:

Project Scope

The Plastic Challenge gives students the opportunity to make a positive environmental impact while developing STEM and critical thinking skill sets.

Step 1: Each student audits his/her plastic consumption over the course of a week.

Step 2: Each student consciously reduces her/his total plastic consumption over the course of a second week and continues to monitor their total plastic intake for that week.

How to Participate

Please watch this informational video from Joey on how to gather the baseline data for next week! Joey has also provided an informational flyer with all the details of the Plastic Challenge. Also, don't forget to fill out the Google form for each student to track their plastic use for next week!

Westmoor Receives National Blue Ribbon

Westmoor School was recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as an Exemplary High Performing School in November 2022.

In recognition of this accomplishment, we ask our teachers and staff what makes Westmoor a Blue Ribbon School. Watch the short video to learn more.

Absent, Coming in Late, Leaving Early

If your child will be absent, late to school due to an appointment, or leaving early - please email wmattendance@northbrook28.net and the teacher in one email. The wmattendance email notifies the office staff as well as our school nurse. Please report any absence before 9 a.m. Also any change in after school plans should be reported to the office and the teacher by 2 p.m. After that, we cannot guarantee we can relay the message.
