Dear Families,
I hope you are enjoying your weekend. It was another great week at Wessagusset! Mrs. Doherty and I are seeing so much academic progress during our visits to classrooms - it is very exciting to see the strong reading, math, and thinking skills that our students are developing. One of the core values of the Weymouth Public Schools is engagement…interest, passion, and investment in learning. We are so proud of the engagement we are seeing in our classrooms! Below you will find helpful information for the weeks ahead:
Our January PBIS Assembly took place on Friday. Highlights included awesome anti-bullying skits from our PBIS Ambassadors, and inspiring affirmations from Mr. C and Mrs. Loud’s 2nd graders! Congratulations to our PBIS winners:
