NEW -- WHS Athletic Council

In response to the findings from the Athletic Review there will be a formation of an Athletic Advisory Council.

The responsibility of this committee will be to create solutions and plans to address the recommendations of the recent Athletic Review findings, brainstorm intermediate and long term hopes for the department and advise the Athletic Director in general.

This Advisory Council will be made up of 3 parents (two individuals from Wellesley and one from Boston), 2 coaches, 2 students, a teacher, an Assistant Principal, the Athletic Director and the Principal. 

This will be a two-year commitment. If you are interested in being considered for the parent volunteer slot, please submit a letter of interest and contact information to the PTSO Co-Presidents at [email protected] by Friday Nov.18.


IMPORTANT DATES
  • Friday, Nov. 4  -- NO Coffee with the Principal (being rescheduled)
  •  Thursday, Nov. 17 at 7 pm -- PTSO meeting in Boston combined with WMS (see below for more details).

WMS & WHS PTO COMBINED MEETING

WEF IS IN BEE MODE!

The 27th annual Wellesley Spelling Bee is Wed, Nov. 9th, 7pm at Sprague School.

The Wellesley Spelling Bee is a Wellesley tradition that brings our community together to celebrate education. It's a unique opportunity every year to see members of the community across all generations participate at the same event with the same level of excitement. Although it is a major fundraiser for public education in our town, equally important to WEF is the event's role in building a sense of community in Wellesley. We hope to see you there!

Support the Bee --  CLICK HERE to make a donation to the Bee. The Bee is WEF's biggest fundraiser of the year!  Any amount is appreciated.

NOTICE
WINTER SPORTS REGISTRATION

All students are required to have a current physical examination on file in the Nurse's Office prior to participating in the athletic program in order to keep your child safe and protect confidentiality.   This means that before your child can tryout, practice or participate on a team they must have a copy of their physical examination on file as required by the MIAA guidelines.  A physical exam covers the student for 13 months from the exam date. 

If your child's physical exam expires during the sport season, your child will no longer be able to participate until a new physical examination has been obtained and is on file in the Nurse's Office.

If you currently have a physical examination on file in the Nurse's Office and it is NOT due to expire you do not need to provide another copy.

Winter sport physicals are due in the Nurse's Office at WHS by Monday, November 14, 2016.   PLEASE NOTE: Late submission of physicals delays the student from any athletic activity until all the registration requirements are completed.  

Please also note the nursing staff will NOT be available on the first day of practice, Monday November 28, 2016.
 
The Athletic Office or individual coaches will not accept physical examination reports. 

Physical examination information should be sent to:
