Our middle school choir spent the afternoon with the residents of the Ascutney House helping spread the holiday cheer through song.

WSESU Kitchen Team Application

You may remember from a couple of years ago that the students at Weathersfield School had the opportunity to name a Vermont State Plow truck. The winning name was Big Bessie. The contest was opened up again this year and we once again named a plow truck. This year's winner is Big Johnny. Our plow truck will be here on Thursday, November 7th at 9:00 AM. The students will get the opportunity to see the plow truck in person.

Families of students in 3-8th grades,

We will be conducting the Panorama Survey again this Fall and Spring in grades 3-8. Students in grades 3-5 will complete the survey as a part of their SEL class with Ms. Cole and 6-8 will do it during Advisory. For more information about this survey and to access a sample of the survey, please read the following letter from our WSESU Director of Curriculum.

Thank you to Mrs. McNamara’s two 4 Winds volunteers, Naomi Morse and Dana Hurley, for teaching us all about how the sun helps us, how the earth moves and for bringing us great experiments to do with our shadows. What a perfect sunny fall day for this lesson last Friday!

Hartford High School will be hosting a Prospective Students Night on Thursday, November 14th at 6:00pm in the high school auditorium. Interested families will be offered tours and have an opportunity to ask questions.

TOYS TO STAY AT HOME! Just a timely reminder that no toys are allowed at school. This includes trading cards, fidget tools, figurines, toy cars, dolls, stuffies or games. Toys are expensive for parents and we would hate for them to get lost or broken. We have lots of fun things at school to play with so students do not need to bring anything but themselves!

If toys are found at school they will be collected by the teacher for safe keeping and returned after school. Please have a chat with your child about this to ensure no toys get lost.

Please remember to follow the arrival and dismissal procedures for school. The fastest and safest way to drop off and pick up students is to stay in your vehicle. Staff is there to assist students get in and out of the car. If you have a student that needs help with buckling please park in the parking lot and we can bring your student to you. This will help to keep the flow of traffic moving. If you have any questions on our procedures, please ask.
