Community Spotlight
Doll Houses Save Lives
In an exemplary display of community collaboration, Weymouth Firefighter Kevin Ryan joined forces with WHS CTE Carpentry Teacher Brian Nash and his students to create innovative "Doll Houses" designed to assist in training Firefighters on essential ventilation tactics and proper extinguishing techniques. The "Doll House" initiative is being used as a national model.
Students were provided with carefully crafted plans that highlighted strategic locations for doors and windows, enabling Firefighters to simulate a house fire. They then observe the movement of hot gases when opening or closing these entry points. This hands-on approach allows Firefighters to implement informed, strategic techniques when battling fire, ultimately minimizing damage and ensuring the safety of our Weymouth Community.
The WHS CTE Carpentry Program and Weymouth Fire Department partnership has proven to be an outstanding success, demonstrating the power of collaboration and fostering a safer, more prepared community. We extend sincere appreciation to all those involved in this special project and look forward to future initiatives that bring our community together for the greater good.
SOME HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS FROM THE WEYMOUTH FIRE DEPARTMENT
A Friendly Reminder...
- CLOSE BEFORE YOU DOZE - this technique of closing the bedroom doors while sleeping can be the difference of surviving a house fire. as it helps to prevent fast movement of fire to bedrooms. https://fsri.org/programs/close-before-you-doze
- Make sure you have fresh batteries in your SMOKE DETECTORS
- A good rule of thumb ~ at the change of daylight savings time remember, "when you change your clocks, change your batteries"
- BE AWARE OF CARBON MONOXIDE
- Homes with gas heaters should keep all vents clearing, especially with snow falls expected
- Every living level should have a carbon monoxide detector
- Carbon Monoxide detectors should be replaced every 7 years

Some examples of information you can provide include who lives at your residence, information about your pet(s), details regarding functional needs like mobility, and more.

Free Gate Admission to all WPS Students!
Weymouth Public Schools is pleased to announce that Chesna Soccer Jamboree has generously donated $20,000 to provide free gate admission for all Weymouth Public Schools students attending athletic home games. This donation allows students to enjoy various sports events throughout the school year, fostering a sense of community and school spirit.
To benefit from this initiative:
Present your student ID at the gate. Your ID is required for admission to all home games.
Middle School students must be accompanied by an adult. Attendance at athletic events is a fantastic opportunity to share a memorable experience with family members and friends.
We appreciate Chesna Soccer Jamboree's generosity and look forward to seeing our students showing their support for our athletes at home games.

SEPAC: Special Education Parent Advisory Council
SEPAC is an all-volunteer town-winde group of parents and caregivers of students with special education needs. SEPAC has collaborated with Weymouth Public Schools Administration, Weymouth School Committee, Town-Wide Parent Council, School Parent Councils, Community Groups and leaders and Building Administrators to promote equal access to educational opportunities, exchange ideas, and share solutions to both complex and challenging issues facing all children in our schools and community. SEPAC is different than a PTO/PTA while those groups main focus is fundraising, SEPAC is a mandated group with a main focus on advocacy.
