Weymouth High School

Good Evening Weymouth High School Community,

In honoring Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we reflect on Dr. King’s unwavering commitment to compassion and humanity—values that guide us as a school community committed to belonging, growth, and excellence for every individual.

We are proud to share that Weymouth High School has been recognized on the AP School Honor Roll, which highlights schools doing outstanding work to expand access to Advanced Placement courses while supporting students through rigorous, college-level learning. This recognition reflects our commitment to welcoming students into AP courses, providing the academic support they need to succeed, and ensuring that all students are prepared for future college and career opportunities. Thank you to our dedicated staff that support our AP program.

Mid-Year Exams

Please make sure your student is caught up with assignments and prepares appropriately for the exams. All students need to make sure they bring their chromebooks, charged, to their mid-year exams as many classes will be taking their exams through an online assessment platform called Edcite. This week would be a good time for students to assess their chromebooks and make sure they update their chromebooks. Here is the link to Update your Chromebook operating system, make sure you go to the “Check for updates yourself” section.

Mid-Year/Final Exam Expectations

• Here is the MidYear Schedule.

• Students are required to be present during their exam times.

• Attendance will be taken at the exam. Students not present will be charged with absence from that class.
