WHS Student Drop-Off & Pick-Up Changes
Dear Westbrook Families,
Westbrook Public Schools is committed to the safety of students and community members. As such, beginning Tuesday, September 2, 2025, our morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up traffic pattern will change to improve safety and efficiency.
Important Details:
- Morning drop-off location remains the same
- There are no changes for student drivers and buses
- Both drop-off and pick-up entrance and exit will now be via Jon A. Holbrook W.
- Please consult the attached map for specific directions and to view the flow pattern
We will place temporary signage outside the new entrance for the first few weeks to help guide parents through the new arrangement. Any change of this nature has accompanying growing pains that naturally occur as we build new habits. However, this safer traffic pattern will ultimately be more effective, efficient, and reduce frustration for our entire school community.
Thank you for your patience and cooperation during this transition.
Sincerely,
Matt Talmadge
WHS/WMS Principal

A Note to Students from Administration
Dear Students,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year. It promises to be an exciting one! As your Principal and Assistant Principal, we look forward to getting to know each one of you so that we may assist you in making your experience here at Westbrook High School beneficial, engaging, and productive. Please take time to read through the Student/Parent Handbook to familiarize yourself with the academic and behavioral expectations that will guide you through a successful four years. Accepting responsibility for your actions, respecting yourself and others, completing rigorous coursework and participating in extracurricular activities will make your high school experience a rewarding one.
Four years of high school goes by quickly, so make the most of it by getting involved in the many diverse clubs, sports, and activities that Westbrook High School has to offer. School connectedness is important to the relationships you will build with faculty, friends and students. Contributing to your school community will give you a sense of pride in yourself and your school.
School Counseling, Support Services, Faculty and Administration are here to help you grow academically and socially and to educate you with regard to the enriching opportunities that are available to you.
We look forward to an exciting year with all of you as we begin to set the foundation on which to build your future.
All our best,
Matt Talmadge - Principal
