Winter Hill Wildcat Weekly
November 14, 2025
Happy November Winter Hill,
There are so many amazing learning experiences happening here at Winter Hill. If you haven't done so already, check out the Winter Hill Blog. Each week a different class is features-see what our 6th - 8th graders are learning!
Reminders
- The week of November 17th, we will be conducting a Lockdown Safety drill that involves all students and staff members at our school. We will be working in collaboration with the Somerville Police Department and the Somerville Fire Department, and anticipate the drill will take no more than 20 minutes. No one will be allowed to enter or exit the building during this drill. We will send out another reminder as the date gets closer, but please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.
- Fall Conferences are scheduled for Thursday, December 4th from 4 - 7 PM. Teachers will be reaching out to you next week to schedule conferences.
- There will also be a special Newcomer Family Night & Conferences during conference time: 5-6pm Welcome and Informational Session. 6-8pm parent teacher conferences. Your child’s teacher will assign you a specific conference time. While you are waiting, we invite you to join us for an activity. Interpretive services will be available.
Sincerely,
Principal Gosselin
