Weathersfield Weekly

Just wanted to say thank you to our community for believing in the school and helping support our school budget. I look forward to another great school year and for our students to continue to shine.

Camp Read-a-Lot was a huge success. A special thank you to our PTO for getting the decorations and transforming our hallways into a forest. Thank you to our kitchen staff for providing us with a delicious meal. Thank you to our leadership students and staff for running the event. It was truly a great community event.

SATURDAY, MARCH 22nd AT 7:00 P.M. (Snow date will be March 23rd)

The Weathersfield Proctor Library will have their 11th ANNUAL TOWN CHALLENGE. Local organizations are invited to participate, and we certainly hope you’ll join in the fun. The trivia topics will cover Weathersfield History, Geography, Spelling, Current Events/Sports, Literature and Music.

As you know, in addition to this being an exciting event for the whole community, it is a fundraiser for the Weathersfield Proctor Library. We are hopeful the businesses within our community will join in with donations for this much-anticipated event.

Of course, we also encourage each team member to collect additional support (family members, neighbors and/or friends), and there will be a prize for the team that raises the most money. A few years ago, we also offered door prizes (local products) to members of our audience and will again this year. And don’t forget the coveted prize for the team that displays the most TEAM SPIRIT!

We are pleased to announce we will be offering the PAWS STEAM Camp at Weathersfield again this summer! We will offer four weeks of fun and learning…shhh, don’t tell the students! The camp is open to Weathersfield students currently in grades K-7.

The 802 Smiles program offers dental visits at school. Lisa Watson, Registered Dental Hygienist, is the school hygienist from NorthStar Health's Ludlow Dental Clinic. She will be at Weathersfield School in the upcoming weeks. Dental visits are for students who have no established dental home, and for students who have not had a routine dental cleaning in over a year.

If you would like the hygienist to see your student(s) at school, please let the school nurse know by emailing Grace.Knight@wsesu, and fill out the attached paperwork. More Information

Dear Members of the Windsor Southeast Supervisory Union,

In 2023, we celebrated the passing of the Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Students Policy by our school board. This policy is designed to “protect all students from sex discrimination, including transgender students and students who do not conform to traditional gender stereotypes.”

At its core, this policy reflects our district’s commitment to fostering a learning environment where all students feel safe, valued, and respected—because creating inclusive schools isn’t just about policy compliance; it’s about saving lives. Research shows that affirming transgender and gender-diverse students significantly reduces their risk of depression, anxiety, and suicide. In a time when misinformation about the reality of gender diversity is widespread, it is more important than ever to ensure that every student in our schools is supported and protected.

We invite you to take a brief survey to:

• Gauge understanding and alignment with the policy, including key provisions.

• Gather questions about what the policy means for students and families.

• Hear directly from those impacted by this policy about their experiences and needs.

• Collect suggestions for how we can engage families and the broader community in fostering gender inclusivity.

Who should fill out this survey?

All parents, caregivers, and guardians of students in WSESU, as well as all teachers and staff of the district.

Your input is invaluable in helping us ensure that all students feel safe, respected, and supported in our schools. The survey is anonymous, and your responses will directly inform ongoing efforts to implement this policy effectively.

Please complete the survey by March 14th.

Thank you for your time and engagement in this important conversation.
