Dear Families

On Friday we wrapped up Teacher Appreciation Week - it was wonderful to see our extraordinary staff receive so many thoughtful gifts and treats, along with an enormous amount of kind words and praise. I believe the Wessagusset staff is 'the best in the business', and it was heartwarming to see how greatly they are appreciated by our community. ,❤️. Thank you to Mo Fox, Kristen Travers, Bridget Martin, Parent Council, and all of the volunteers that made this week so special!

This is our final week of MCAS! On Tuesday and Thursdays Grades 3 and 4 will take the MCAS Math assessment, and Grade 5 will take the MCAS Science assessment. Please remind your child to come to school with a fully charged Chromebook. Thank you for your help with this!
