Wamsutta Middle School

Engage Challenge Inspire

Barring any emergency notices from me, my next weekly update will be December 4th. I hope everyone enjoys the weather this weekend and can make the best of the restricted Thanksgiving we are all recommended to celebrate.

PTO Fundraising and Online Spirit Wear Store! We continue on with our Meadowfarms fundraiser through November. Click here to register to support our efforts. The school code is MF1030645. New this week is our Wamsutta Middle School Store. It will be running from today until December 7th. 10% of all proceeds benefit the school, and the PTO has worked hard to create a contactless experience for those interested in purchasing Spirit Wear. We closed the store on the 7th to ensure things arrive for the holidays. I just got myself a long-overdue new Wamsutta vest.

I have two new items of importance this week. 1. I have fielded more than a few questions about Governor Baker's latest executive order about masks in public and its effect on our ability to provide mask breaks. The short answer is it has no effect, as the guidance we have already received for schools takes precedence. We will continue as we have in terms of our safety protocols here. 2. We will begin virtual after school help shortly. We will have one person per grade level, so we hope to provide even more time for students to ask questions and get guidance than we currently do. I hope to have a final schedule next week.

The weather has certainly taken a turn for the worse this week, and I want to remind students that they should be dressed for the weather, as we hope to get the students fresh air during mask breaks for as long as we possibly can. Obviously, days like today we will stay inside, but when we have a bit of sun and it's not frigid, we'd certainly like to head outside.

Halloween, Family Travel Guidance, Virtual Book Fair, Picture Retakes

Good afternoon. I’d like to thank the many families who were able to join us at our Virtual Back to School Night. If you were unable to make it and have any questions, please contact me. We will have virtual Parent Conferences in December once Trimester One report cards are given out.

Good morning. We have attachments with information from the Youth Center afterschool program, a reminder about 7th grade immunizations, and a flyer for our PTO’s fall fundraiser.

The building continues to operate as safely as we can operate it, and I am very happy to see the roofing construction equipment on its way out.
