A Message From Principal Brian Shepherd

Welcome Back to West Noble Primary!
The staff at West Noble Primary hopes you had a wonderful summer and are ready for another exciting school year! We are looking forward to a fantastic 2026-27 school year filled with learning, growth, and opportunities for every student to succeed. A big thank you goes to our custodial staff for preparing our building and making it ready to welcome students back.
This year is especially meaningful as it marks our final year at West Noble Primary before our students and staff consolidate with West Noble Elementary next fall. While we'll certainly miss the building that has been home to so many memories, we're excited to celebrate everything that makes WNP special and create lasting memories together throughout this final year.
At West Noble Primary, we are committed to helping every child grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. Through strong classroom instruction, MTSS, CKLA, Grapeseed, and Building Leaders, we strive to meet each student where they are and help them reach their full potential.
Our commitment to the Science of Reading continues through CKLA, which builds strong readers by developing knowledge, vocabulary, and comprehension. This year, we are also strengthening our focus on mathematics by using research-based instructional practices that help students build number sense, problem-solving skills, and mathematical confidence. We also believe that learning never stops for our staff. Through ongoing coaching and collaboration, our teachers continue to grow so they can provide the best learning experience for every child.
Physical wellness remains an important part of life at WNP. Students can once again participate in our mileage program, earning awards at the 50, 100, and 150-mile levels, with a new pair of shoes awarded to students who reach 150 miles. Also, look for Charger Mile information coming home in September!
Kindness and leadership continue to be at the heart of our school. Our students will participate in service projects throughout the year, and we're excited to bring back our annual Kindness Parade as we continue encouraging students to make a positive difference in our community.
Our goal is simple: help every child become the very best version of themselves. We want to sincerely thank our families and the Ligonier community for the incredible support you've shown West Noble Primary over the years. Your partnership, encouragement, and generosity have helped shape our school into a place where students thrive. We couldn't have done it without you.
Thank you for entrusting us with your children. We are honored to serve your family and look forward to making this final year at West Noble Primary one to remember.
