Although there is still plenty of summer left to enjoy, it is time to start preparing for the new school year. One of the things I love about education is that every September we get a fresh start. It feels like we are given a new, blank notebook and get to choose what we create on each page. We have 180 pages of learning, growth, and friendship ahead of us…and I know we will create so many incredible things this year! At Wessagusset we will continue to focus on academic achievement, building strong connections, and fostering social-emotional development. Our school goals include:
Educating the whole child, with an emphasis on high-quality, individualized instruction.
Creating an inclusive community that sees diversity as a strength.
Valuing collaboration, communication, and connection.
Working together to live our core values of respect, ownership, achievement, and responsibility.
Assistant Principal Nicole Doherty and I are looking forward to working with families, school staff and teachers to help our students build the skills necessary to have a successful educational experience and to be productive members of our community. Our exceptional staff are committed to helping students view our school as a safe, positive, inclusive, place.
We hope you will join us for two very special events, sponsored by our Parent Council: the Kindergarten Playdate on Thursday, September 1st from 5:30-6:00, and the Back to School Ice Cream Social on Thursday, September 1st from 6:00-7:30. More information about these events can be found below.
