Back to School
We have seventeen students in total at the elementary level. All seventeen students made a smooth transition back to school. They were all excited to visit their new classrooms, reconnect with their friends, and meet new teachers.
Back to school also means back to learning. Parents/guardians are encouraged to go over homework with children every day and have them practice math facts and read often.
Our high school students returned to school this year ready to get involved and find ways to connect with the WHS community. We have ten high school students in the METCO Program. Ninth graders are learning their way around the building, joining clubs,and participating in after-school sports.
Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors are invited to attend the Building Bridges HBCU Event on October 17th at the Roxbury YMCA
Thank you all for your flexibility with our buses. Buses being slightly behind schedule is expected the first few weeks of school. We ask for your continued flexibility as we move through the month of September.
We do not have a bus monitor at this time. Please remind your student (s) of the rules on the bus.
We have one additional bus stop in the afternoon at the Berkshires Boys and Girls Club at 15 Talbot Ave. Dorchester, MA. Please reach out to the Boys and Girls Club at (617) 474-1050 to register your student(s) if you would like to have your child (children) dropped off at this location. I must receive an email from you stating your child will be getting off at this bus stop. The membership fee is $25 for the entire school year including February and April vacation week.
For students in grades 6-12 who need an M7 pass, you must complete the M7 request form before picking up your pass from METCO Headquarters at 11 Roxbury Street, Roxbury MA 02119 between the hours of 9:30 am - 5:30 pm.
