With Gratitude and Reflection
Retirement
After two decades of service to Weymouth Public Schools, I have made the challenging yet rewarding decision to retire. It has been an immense privilege and honor to work alongside our exceptional students, dedicated staff, supportive families, and engaged community members throughout my tenure as the Community Relations Liaison.
As I reflect on the past 20 years, I am filled with gratitude for the countless opportunities to learn, grow, and contribute to the success of our district. The experiences and accomplishments we have shared together will forever hold a special place in my heart. I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the camaraderie and collaboration of my esteemed colleagues. Their unwavering commitment to educational excellence and genuine support have made my time at Weymouth Public Schools all the more enriching and enjoyable.
While I will undoubtedly miss the daily interactions with my colleagues and the energy of our students, I am eager to embrace the next chapter of my life. I look forward to spending quality time with my family.
As I embark on this bittersweet transition, I do so with the utmost confidence in the future of Weymouth Public Schools. I am incredibly proud of the progress we have made and the legacy we have built, and I am certain that our collective dedication and passion will ensure continued success in the years to come. With heartfelt gratitude, I bid farewell to my Weymouth Public Schools family, carrying with me a lifetime of cherished memories.
Thank you for the honor of working with all of you!
Sincerely,
Betsy Harris

Chapman: Music in the Parks
Chapman Music Program Places First with Overall Rating of Excellent!
We are elated to announce the outstanding achievements of the Chapman Middle School Music Program at the highly competitive Music in the Parks Festival in Holyoke. Both the MWC Band and the Maria Weston Chapman Singers delivered remarkable performances, earning top accolades and making school history in the process.
The MWC Band's dedication and talent were on full display as they claimed 1st place in their division with an impressive overall rating of Excellent. This accomplishment is particularly noteworthy, as it marks the first time in recent history that the band has participated in a competition of this caliber. Their extraordinary debut performance sets a high bar for future endeavors and serves as a testament to their dedication and passion for music.
Equally impressive, the Maria Weston Chapman Singers continued their tradition of excellence by securing 1st place in their division and 1st place overall in the middle school choir category. With an overall rating of Superior, this marks their second competition this year in which they have earned the highest possible rating. This consistent level of achievement highlights the students' unwavering commitment to musical excellence and their collective pursuit of artistic growth.
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to all the students involved in the Chapman Middle School Music Program for their outstanding performances and well-deserved accolades. These remarkable achievements not only bring great pride to our school but also serve as an inspiration to all those who share a love for music and the arts.
Military Enlistment Appreciation
BEST WISHES TO WHS ENLISTEES!
Honoring Courageous Students Enlisting in the United States Military
Weymouth High School proudly acknowledges and congratulates the exceptional students who have chosen to answer the call of duty by enlisting in the United States Military following their graduation. In recognition of their bravery and dedication, the Weymouth Veterans Council and Weymouth High School recently hosted a Military Enlistment Appreciation Luncheon, celebrating these remarkable WHS students and alumni. Several of the Alumni students are already on duty and were unable to attend, but were represented by their family members.
This event served as a heartfelt tribute to the students' selflessness and commitment to serving our country. As we gathered to honor their achievements, we also paid homage to the values of courage, loyalty, and patriotism that they embody.
The Weymouth High School community extends its warmest wishes and gratitude to these courageous young individuals as they embark on this noble path. We are confident that their dedication and resilience will make a significant impact on our nation and inspire future generations of students to follow in their footsteps.
Sincere thanks to Weymouth Veterans Agent George Pontes and guest speaker Navy Career Counselor Chief Petty Officer Ardonta L. Jackson, United States Navy.

SEEKING VEHICLE DONATIONS
Why Donate Your Car / Truck to Weymouth CTE Automotive Students?
Donating your car to the Weymouth Career and Technical Education (CTE) Automotive Program is an incredible way to support students in their journey to becoming skilled professionals in the automotive industry. Here's how your donation can make a difference:
- Donating your vehicle provides CTE students with additional real-world, hands-on experience. They can work on actual car systems, diagnose issues, perform repairs, and gain experience with modern automotive technologies. This is a vital part of their education, as it helps them bridge the gap between classroom theory and practical skills.
- By donating a newer vehicle, you ensure students are working with the most up-to-date automotive technologies. This prepares them for today's fast-evolving automotive industry and makes them more competitive when entering the workforce or pursuing certifications.
- Students will advance their knowledge of diagnostics, repairs, and maintenance, developing the skills they need to succeed in the automotive field. These skills are required for industry certifications that can boost their careers.
- The hands-on work with your donated vehicle aligns with the competencies students need to earn recognized certifications, essential for securing high-demand, high-wage jobs in the automotive sector.
By donating your car, you're making a lasting impact on the next generation of automotive professionals, providing them with the training they need to succeed in the workforce. Your donation is not just a car—it's an investment in their future!
DONATED VEHICLES MUST BE NO OLDER THAN 10 YEARS OLD.
It is desirable for vehicles to be as new as possible to provide students with the most up-to-date technology for learning purposes.

FAFSA
If you plan to apply for college financial aid, you’ll need to fill out the FAFSA. The FAFSA doesn’t become available until December 1st this year, but there’s one thing you can do now: get your FSA ID. The FSA ID is your FAFSA log-in, and both the student and at least one parent will need one. MEFA has a guide to help you figure out who in your family needs an FSA ID (see link below). Check out the info below to learn more about what the FSA IS is, who needs one, and how to get one.

Letter from Margaret Verlicco, Psy. D., Executive Director of Student Services
The Weymouth Fire Department is pleased to announced they've begun using Community Connect, a secure and easy to use platform that allows you to share critical information about your household that will aid first responders and emergency response personnel when responding to your residence, and encourage residents to sign-up for the service at no cost.
Community Connect allows residents to provide critical property and occupant information to Weymouth Fire that they can access at time of response, leading to better outcomes in case of fire or medical emergency. 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. All data is safe and only available to first responders at the time of emergency, and Community Connect utilizes the same data security and encryption standards found in online banking.

What is a Wraparound Center?
The Wraparound Center serves as a valuable resource hub for families within Weymouth Public Schools. Our mission is to empower families by connecting them to community-based resources that align with their unique culture, voice, and preferences. Our ultimate aim is to provide comprehensive support to students and their families, enabling them to develop a personalized plan that caters to their specific needs and self-identified goals. By facilitating access to available resources, we equip our students and families with the tools they need to fully engage in the school experience.
The Wraparound Center is staffed by Kelsie Bromberg, LICSW, and overseen by Brynn Cooper, LICSW. This collaborative effort between our schools, central office, and community partners has allowed us to establish this invaluable resource for families within Weymouth Public Schools.

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.

All Welcome!
VISIT TEXTILE RECYCLING HUB FOR MORE INFORMATION
Massachusetts has added textiles to the waste bans, which means new state rules require textiles be kept out of the trash so they can be recycled or donated for use. Textiles should not be placed in your curbside recycling cart as they damage the sorting equipment at the recycling centers.
So you might ask, " if we don’t put textiles in the trash or our recycle bins, what are we supposed to do?"
WPS and Bay State Textiles are launching the Textile Recycling Corporate Citizen Initiative.
A Textile Recycling Corporate Citizen agrees to host one or more Bay State Textiles recycling bin(s)
