Bruin Visits!
Bruin Visits are voluntary meetings designed to build relationships between equal partners, so that the most important adults in a child’s life, at home and at school, can work together to support the child’s learning and growth. Libby Booth ES has been given the opportunity to participate in our WCSD Home Visit program. A Bruin Visit is when your child’s teacher or staff member visits your home to learn more about your family and your culture. It is also a chance for your teacher to meet you and any other people living with you, like brothers and sisters. It is simply a time for us to bond and learn more about one another. If you would be comfortable inviting a school staff member into your home, please reach out to Mrs. Tolbert, School Counselor, at Libby Booth ES. For more information, check out the PTHV site on WCSD website at: /Domain/1771
