About West Welcome to West Running Brook Middle School, Home of the Bears! At West Running Brook, we recognize that middle level students experience great changes intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically during the years between elementary and high school. We are committed to help students successfully transition through these years.

West Running Brook Middle School is truly fortunate to have a strong teaching staff. We have cultivated a professional learning environment where staff members engage in on-going education and training. In order to provide the best for our students, we must continue to learn ourselves. We expect all of our students to succeed and challenge each student to achieve to his or her highest potential.

We are also fortunate at West Running Brook Middle School to have support from our parents and community. Parent involvement is a critical component in fostering student success. We continue to look for new ways to strengthen the school-home partnership, and value input from our community. Educating your child is a great responsibility - as well as a great pleasure.

Reading experts note that most young readers suffer a backslide in reading skills during summer downtime. But that needn't be the case. Families can make reading a priority during the summer months, and children will learn that people never take a vacation from learning. Find great recommendations for books to read over the summer break, for you and your family:

• Fiction (PDF)
• Non Fiction (PDF)
