If you have any health-related questions or need to speak with nurse Nicole regarding your child, please call the health office directly at 978-694-6026 or email her at nicole.mccabe@wpsk12.com.

If your child is going to be absent, please call the main office at 978-694-6070 and choose Option 1 to leave a message.
