To capitalize on the fact that students may be hearing lots of college names during March Madness, we are inviting all staff and students to wear any higher ed gear to school on Friday! This will give kids some exposure to the many choices available to them down the road. Let's see how many different colleges we can have represented!


(We'll be holding a "Tools of the Trade" t-shirt day in May to highlight local trades! Stay tuned for info!)

We are so incredibly proud of the cast of Matilda the Musical. Both performances were amazing and thrilled the two sold-out audiences. We are beyond grateful to all of the adults who made this amazing experience possible for our students.

FY27 Budget Information FY27 Budget Information

Part of the work of the Wiliamsburg School Committee is to review and approve the school budget. Starting in January we began working with Stacey to ground the budget conversation in the school's vision, in order to ensure that children are always at the center. On 3/25 we looked at a draft budget at the Public Budget Hearing and at the next meeting the School Committee will vote to approve it.


Come learn more about the process at our next monthly meeting on 4/15 at 5:30pm!

Connecting with the Community Connecting with the Community

At a recent Williamsburg All Boards meeting, one of the topics discussed was communication and engagement. There were many conversations about how the town can share information to reach a wide audience of townsfolk.


While we often try to share Williamsburg here in our newsletter, we will also begin to include a link to the Burgy Bee in each newsletter. The Burgy Bee is a free newsletter published by the Williamsburg Market that contains information about events in Williamsburg, and in the surrounding towns. You can find hard copies around town, or an electronic version at the button below!
