Dear students, staff, and parents/guardians:

As we near the end of this calendar year, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your partnership and support throughout 2024.

On behalf of our faculty and staff, I’d like to wish you a Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and a joyful New Year. May this season bring you and your loved ones peace, happiness, and cherished time together.

Please note that school will be closed for the holiday break beginning today. Classes will resume on Thursday, January 2nd, 2025. We look forward to welcoming students back, refreshed and ready to work hard in the year ahead.

Thank you for all that you do to make Walpole High such an incredible place for learning and growth. I hope you enjoy a restful and festive holiday season.

Sincerely,

Stephen Imbusch

Principal
