Welcome Back

Welcome Back

Can you believe we’ve already made it through the first six days?


I am excited to share that the school year is off to a wonderful start! Students are settling into routines, reconnecting with friends, meeting new teachers, and engaging in their learning. We know the beginning of the year can feel busy, and we truly appreciate your support in helping students adjust smoothly.

Thank you for your continued partnership. Together, we will make this a successful and rewarding school year for all!! - Ms. Atisha

I am excited to share that Charmaine Burrell is returning to Walpole as our Middle School Academic Liaison!


Many of you may remember Charmaine from her time as my METCO Intern and Bus Monitor. She will be in the METCO space at the middle school Tuesday through Friday, supporting students with their academic needs.

Charmaine brings over 20 years of experience working with youth and families in schools and the community, and she is deeply passionate about helping students overcome challenges and achieve success.

We are thrilled to welcome her back and know she will be a valuable resource for our students and families.
