A Note from Ms. Collins

Dear WB Families,

WOW!  What an incredible start to our 2016-2017 school year!  I can’t believe we are in the month of October already.  The first weeks of school have flown by, and we have many exciting things happening around WB!

We are in our 2nd year with full-scale personalized learning around the building.  Our model is structured in four ways:

• Flexible Learning Environments → Classrooms provide students with comfort and many options for students to learn best!
• Learner Profiles → Students identify interests and goals so that teachers may tailor their learning experience!
• Competency-Based Progression → Teachers move at a student’s pace each day and provide your child with the content they are ready for!
• Personalized Learning Plans → Students create daily and weekly goals to drive their own learning and monitor progress towards goals!

Stop in and visit anytime to see learning in action!

I am so excited for Parent-Teacher Conferences at the end of the month.  It will be a great time for parents, students, and teachers to come together as a team and outline goals for the year!

Please know that I am always available if you have any questions, ideas, comments, or feedback to help our school be the best that it can be!  Come talk to me anytime!
​
Sincerely,  
Ms.Colleen Collins
Director, CICS West Belden
