Whitin Weekly

Good Evening Whitin Families,

Happy New Year to our Whitin Families,

We look forward to welcoming the students back tomorrow and hope that everyone is well rested and enjoyed time with family and friends during the break.

Below you will find the MCAS schedule for this year. As people plan vacations and family events please keep in mind these dates.

The January PTO meeting is being held tomorrow, January 4th at 2:30PM

School Committee meeting is this Wednesday, January 4th.

The January School Council meeting will be held on Monday, January 23rd.

Students will be taking the winter Star assessments in reading and math next week. It is required that all students participated in this short screening so that we can track their progress from the beginning of the year. Students will be taking the assessments during their ELA and math classes. Each assessment takes on average about 30 minutes.

Have a great week and as always, do not hesitate to reach out to Mr. Roy or myself.

Author Visit December 20th:

A huge thank you to the PTO for organizing the author event just before break. It was nothing short of amazing. Students in all grade levels were highly engaged and listening to the message from Kevin about reading, writing, drawing, creativity. Kids left inspired and energized. Truly an amazing event for our students.

PTO is hosting a cookie decorating and winter movie event on Friday, January 20th. Students will be decorating coolies, enjoying hot cocoa while watching a winter movie. See flyer attached.
