2024-2025 Calendar
Congratulations are in Order
Congratulations to Zoie Porcher, who has been chosen to serve as the Project 351 Ambassador for Walpole! Each January, a group of eighth-grade ambassadors representing the 351 cities and towns of Massachusetts begins a transformative year of service and leadership. Ambassadors become one community, one team, one force for extraordinary good. Launch Day is a celebratory day of inspiration and impact as Ambassadors unite to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., inspiring students to come together, take action, and lead.

WHS Drama will also be bringing this play to the annual Massachusetts Educational Theatre Guild’s High School Drama Festival on March 2nd. It will be the first time WHS will compete in this festival.

Kindergarten Registration Reminder
Although the district has sent out notices, please spread the word to your friends and neighbors with kindergarten-age children. Early registration is best, as it helps the district with budget and scheduling.
To pre-register a kindergarten-age-qualified child, a parent or legal guardian must complete the online registration form (scroll down to Kindergarten pre-registration). Kindergarten-age-qualified are children who have turned five (5) years old before September 1 of the school year for which they are pre-registering.
If you are unable to drop off documents to your neighborhood school during the day, the Superintendent's Office (135 School Street, Room 204) is open on Monday and Wednesday 7:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Tuesday 7:00 AM - 8:00 PM and Friday 7:00 AM - 4:00 PM.
Middle School Building Project
The Middle School Project website has been updated with the latest developments of our new middle school! The community is encouraged to contact the Middle School Project team with any questions or comments via email at middleschoolproject@walpole.k12.ma.us. The current construction look-ahead schedule is also posted on this site.
