The staff at West Noble Primary School hopes you had a great summer and are now ready to get back to school! We had a great year at WNP and are excited to grow even more in the upcoming 2025–26 school year.

Our custodial staff has worked very hard to prepare our building for the new school year. Way to go Tracy Pelfrey, Cindy Staton, Robin Moser and Tim Records!

We look forward to serving your child as a whole person. We support them academically through strong programs like Pre and Post-Assessments, small group instruction for reading and math, Tier 1, 2, and 3 support, Grapeseed, and Building Leaders.

CKLA, our reading curriculum, continues to focus on knowledge-based readers that help students build reading skills through nonfiction text. This model is grounded in research behind the science of reading and helps develop comprehension through rich content. The Primary is also entering the second year of our Cadre program. The Cadre’s mission is to coach and support teachers in the classroom. WNP believes in a growth mindset for students and staff.

We also focus on your child’s physical wellness. Our fitness club includes 50, 100 and 150-mile club levels. Each level earns awards, and students in the 150-mile club receive a new pair of shoes! Look for Charger Mile papers to come home in September. WNP will again compete against other schools in a 1,000-meter run at West Noble High School. We’re proud to be the defending champions!

WNP believes in the power of kindness. Our first grade classrooms will go on several “Kindness Missions.” Look for them out in the community doing “the right thing”. The Kindness Parade will be back for the 2025-26 school year!

We will continue to use the MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Support) model. Your child will receive instruction at their current level, based on Common Assessments. This helps each student move toward grade-level mastery or receive enrichment. The goal is for all students to master the essential standards outlined in WNP’s Standards-Based Report Card before moving on to the next level.

WNP believes strongly in EQ (Emotional Quotient). We want every child to feel safe and loved before we focus on IQ. That’s why we continue to provide students with the social and emotional skills they need to succeed. Through programs like Little Leaders, Little Spot Social Emotional learning curriculum, You Are a Social Detective, and our Kindness Program, students learn to understand and manage their emotions. You may hear your child talk about the “Color Spots.” These help students identify their feelings and understand that all feelings are okay. Each color represents a feeling, and students learn weekly how to express emotions and find healthy ways to cope with big feelings.

Color Spots:  Red - I feel angry , Blue - I feel sad, Gray - I feel scared, Yellow - I feel happy, Orange - I feel confident, Pink - I feel love, Green - I feel peaceful, Purple - I feel ready to learn

Meet the Teacher / Back to School Night will be held on Tuesday, August 12th from 5–7 p.m. This is a great opportunity to meet your child’s teacher, connect with staff, and explore West Noble Primary School.

Great things are happening at West Noble Primary School! This is due to a great staff that is willing to work with you as a parent to help your child reach their fullest potential.

Please feel free to come visit us. We look forward to working with you!

WNP’s values are simple, but not easy! # LIVE LEARN LAUGH LEAD

Sincerely,
Brian Shepherd, Principal
West Noble Primary School
