While students might get to head home a little earlier, our dedicated teachers and staff are hard at work. Discover how early release days are used to support new teachers, plan engaging lessons, and improve our school community.
Today we celebrate not only our graduates, but also the families, friends, teachers, coaches, and community members who supported them every step of the way. As this chapter comes to a close, a new journey begins.
We wish the Class of 2026 all the best in the years ahead.
Welcome to Glow Games at Westbriar Elementary School, where 6th-grade math teacher Alissa Roth transforms end-of-the-week SOL prep into an unforgettable, glowing experience! Ms. Roth utilized grant funding over the last four years to outfit her classroom with blacklights, blackout curtains, and vibrant glowing materials. Students rotate through five exciting, neon-lit stations (Tic-Tac-Toe, Cornhole, Jenga, Connect 4, and Heads Up) while tackling essential math concepts like integer operations, solving equations, word problems, and math vocabulary. It is a colorful, high-energy day filled with games and music that makes reviewing past lessons both incredibly fun and highly memorable for everyone involved!
