WHS eNotes

Dear students, staff, and parents/guardians:

This Wednesday marks the end of the third term. Students - make sure you are up-to-date academically so that you are eligible to participate in our many clubs, activities, and spring sports through the end of the school year. Our eligibility requirements can be found on page 96 of the Student-Parent Handbook.

Last week, the music department held their spring concert. We filmed the concert and it is available here: Also, the Mike Falker 10-year Memorial Concert was held at the high school last weekend, and is available here.

Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card. Just as your child's report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the school's report card is designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas. More information and access to our report card is attached.

Have a wonderful weekend

Sincerely,

Stephen Imbusch

Principal
