Dear Families,
It was great to see so many families at Parent/Teacher Conferences earlier this week. We are truly grateful to have such supportive, involved families. Please remember, you can reach out to us with questions or concerns any time, not just during conferences. Working together we are sure to make school a successful experience for all of our students!
We are very proud of our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders for all of their hard work on the MCAS ELA tests this week! Students who were absent will be able to take the test on the make-up day in early May. More details will be sent home soon.
Our School Nurse, Mrs. Kathy Knoll, will be out on medical leave for the remainder of the school year. Coverage will be provided by the WPS nursing staff. We will miss Nurse Knoll and wish her well!
Passover is observed from April 5th-13th. Happy Passover to all those who celebrate!
