If you are the parent or guardian of a student in Grades 3-6, please complete THIS survey regarding a math camp to take place during April vacation.

Term 3 Report Cards will be available on the Community Portal by Friday, April 11.

MCAS season is upon is! HERE you can find the testing dates for WMHS.

MCAS testing is extremely important as the data gathered from these assessments guides future instruction. Please make sure that your child comes to school on their assigned MCAS data with a fully-charged Chromebook. Students should eat a healthy, filling breakfast; as a reminder, breakfast is free to all students in the school cafeteria each morning.

If you have any questions regarding MCAS testing, please reach out to building administration.

To ensure we have the most accurate attendance records for your child, please note the following:

1.) If your child is going to be absent for any reason, please call them out.

2.) If your child is going to be absent due to Covid, a fever, etc., please contact the school nurse (Teresa for MS or Suzanne Walinski for HS).

3.) If your child is going to be absent due to a reason other than illness, please contact our attendance clerks!

Please make sure all excusal notes are brought in within 48 hours of your child's return to school.

If you would like to speak with a building administrator, please schedule an appointment to do so. MS appointments can be scheduled by calling 774-309-3022. HS appointments can be scheduled by calling 508-636-1050.

We appreciate your assistance with this!

As a gentle reminder, dropoffs and picksup should not be taking place at the Westport Public Library or in front of the building. These protocols are in place to ensure the safety of our students.

Additionally, we kindly ask that individuals picking up students do not arrive prior to 1:45 PM. Parked cars can present an issue in the event of an emergency.

Please reach out with any questions or concerns.

All students should be coming to school with a fully-charged Chromebook along with the charger in case it is needed. We have limited loaners typically reserved for students who are waiting to have devices repaired.

Chris Herren will be speaking to students in Grades 8-12 on April 1. Funding for this presentation was graciously provided through the town and Opioid Settlement funds. More information regarding the presentation, including an opt-out form, was sent home a few weeks ago. It can also be accessed HERE.

More information about Chris Herren and his presentation can be found HERE. If you have any questions, please reach out to Laura Charette at lcharette@westportschools.org.
