Weymouth High School

Good Evening Weymouth High School Community,

This Monday we recognize Columbus Day and Indigenous Peoples’ Day. There is no school on Monday.

Last week, our Fall Captains took part in Leadership Training led by Magnitude Strength and Power. The session featured Mindset 360 techniques focused on communication, confidence, goal setting, and overcoming negative thoughts. We value the importance of mental health for our student-athletes and are confident our captains will continue to lead and inspire both on and off the field!

Progress Reports

We are at the midpoint of our Term 1, progress reports are now accessible in Aspen X2. If you would like a printed copy of the progress report please contact Dorothea Sansone at 781-337-7500 ext. 25126. Use the link to find your child’s Progress Report/Report Card

A progress report is a short term strategy to monitor a student’s academic progress. Progress reports serve an important role in allowing teachers, students and parents to track how well the student does throughout each term. In turn, this gives students a chance to correct study habits, modify their behaviors and make other changes to keep themselves on a positive academic course. Please reach out to your child’s teachers if you have any concerns about their grades to date.

Transportation/Traffic Updates

All bus IDs have been distributed to students. Going forward, any student taking the bus home must present their ID when boarding and ride only their assigned bus.

As we continue to look at traffic patterns at our school both on campus and off campus, please continue to follow the expectations that we have outlined at the beginning of the year. The safety of our students and staff is our top priority.
