I hope this communication finds you and your families doing well. While I thoroughly enjoy every season the New England region affords us, my favorite is autumn. It's the fresh and cool air, the start of a new school year, and the opportunity to enjoy fall festivals and activities. It's perhaps also in part that there is comfort in getting back into steady routines after Summer. I wish you all an awesome autumn.

We are at the midpoint of quarter 1 and it is time for teachers to show the academic progress made by students thus far. Most students and teachers have been having ongoing conversations since the start of the new year about learning and achievement.

As a district, we are committed to student learning and believe that effective communication is an essential part of the process. We believe that this system involves three invested parties--teacher, student, and parent/guardian--with the student at the center. Therefore we have adopted an online gradebook with a desire to share details of academic progress and increase student responsibility. We hope access to information helps both students and parents/guardians track and understand student progress in individual classes.


At WHS we also recognize that grades are but one of several tools that can be used to monitor student achievement. Our high school believes that although reporting grades is necessary, it is more important to emphasize the learning, growth, and development of all students.

 

Enjoy reviewing the contents of our newsletter. Mostly, though, enjoy all that this season has to offer whether you're picking pumpkins, apples, going on a hike, or just spending time in the great outdoors. Any of these activities can offer a healthy boost to our mind and body.

Sincerely,
Mr. Brian M. Callaghan
Principal
