Dear Families,
As I visited our schools on opening day, I was delighted to witness the vibrant energy and enthusiasm that filled every corner of our buildings. The start of this school year has been nothing short of inspiring, and I wanted to share some highlights with you.
From the moment I walked through the doors, I was greeted by our incredible principals and staff, whose energy and dedication were notable. The principals proudly led me around their schools and bragged about their staff and students.
It was heartwarming to see students so engaged and excited. Whether they were learning classroom expectations, exploring their new environment, listening to books read by their teachers, enjoying lunch with their friends, showing off their "rockstar haircuts", or chanting “cut the ribbon” as their new playground was opened, they were positive and respectful.
The school facilities looked fantastic as well, with shiny floors reflecting the excitement of a fresh start. Positive messages and motivational signs decorating the walls. These small touches are a testament to the commitment we all share to creating an uplifting and engaging learning environment. The new playgrounds in Dover, Townshend and Wardsboro are sure to become a favorite spot for our students, standing as a symbol of our continuous efforts to improve the experiences of our students.
More than anything, it was the genuine relationship-building and connections I observed that made the day truly special. Seeing our community come together to support and uplift each other reaffirmed the incredible spirit of our WCSU schools.
Here’s to a fantastic school year ahead filled with growth, joy, and continued success.
Warm regards,
Bob Thibault
Superintendent
