Weathersfield School 2012 Building Use & Events Calendar

Dear Families,

We are very excited about our new Schoolwide Action and Improvement Plan, which was approved by the WS School Board on November 21, 2011!  This plan has four goals, all of which are designed to increase student achievement at WS! In order to do justice to the school improvement work before us, faculty and staff  need to have several early release days this school year to be afforded the concentrated time necessary to effect change, work with their Academic Coach, Janna Osman,  and for the professional development needed to become even more skillful at our work.  The following dates have been set for early release days, which are all on Wednesdays:

December 21, 2011

January 4, 2012

January 25, 2012

February 1, 2012

March 14, 2012

March 28, 2012

April 4, 2012

April 25, 2012

May 9, 2012

May 23, 2012

Though we will be sending the students home after lunch at 11:30 am on these ten days, faculty and staff will be working until after 3:00 pm every day.  If these half days pose a problem for families, please let us know and we will make arrangements to have your child(ren) supervised during these afternoons. We do not want children going to an empty house or being unsafe as a result of not being in school….safety first!  Please call me at 674-5400 if you need supervision for any of these early release afternoons.  

If you have questions, please feel free to call the school.  I promise to run these early release days in subsequent news letters as reminders for your convenience.

Thank you for your partnership and support as we work hard to make a difference in the lives of ALL Weathersfield children….they deserve to have the very best education possible, and we are working diligently to make this happen.

Sincerely,

JeanMarie K. Oakman, WS Principal
