Welcome to West Branch Middle School. We are excited for the 2022/23 school year. Our staff and myself are ready to greet new faces as well as welcome returning students.

The middle school years help students to begin to look ahead while sharpening skills. Welcome new students and incoming 5th graders! I think you are going to find WBMS to be a great place learn and grow each day.

My goal is to be proactive with information, communication, and safety. We look forward to serving your student as we know you send your best to school each and every day.

Our teachers, programs, and facilities are here to make the most of the hours each school day. I send (via text) a weekly update link EACH Sunday during the school year. I provide the 'five things you need to know in five minutes' via a video. Next to the video is the typed out 'Five things' if you'd prefer to read it or for clarification purposes.

Please reach out to questions, concerns, or kudos for something that pleased you or your student.

Instead of trying to navigate the crowdsourced world of social media, please just reach directly out to me and/or use this website to stay informed.
