We launched our ONLY fundraiser for the year in November. We are truly grateful to those who have already made a donation, but we are still quite far from the level of financial support typically provided by our community. As of today, we have only raised $18,000 towards our goal of $60,000, with just 6.5% of families participating. We fully appreciate that this is anything but a typical year. But, we hope that together we will be able to raise the money we need to support our school.

Any funds raised will be deployed immediately towards the needs of WHS students and educators. To date this year, we have funded various technology tools to bridge the "room to zoom" continuum like Apple pencils for all Science and Math teachers and classroom microphones so that students at home can hear and be heard. We have funded protective equipment to keep our students and teachers safe. We have supported teacher training and professional development. And, we have shown our community's appreciation for the tireless efforts of our WHS educators with a faculty/staff lunch.

And, we will be able to do much, much more with your support. Please take a moment to give what you can today!

Winter sports tryouts will begin on December 14th for the following sports: Alpine Ski, Basketball, Gymnastics, Ice Hockey, Nordic Ski and Boys Swimming & Diving. More specifics will be posted to the

WHS Athletics website as soon as details are confirmed. In order to participate, your student must have an up-to-date physical on file with the WHS Nurse's Office and must register online in advance. A physical is good for 13 months and cannot be a virtual/telehealth physical.

Our next PTSO meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 16th at 9:00am via Zoom.

You must REGISTER IN ADVANCE for the meeting link. We encourage you to share any questions that are on your mind when you register.

We will be taking a brief pause from our Spotlight series, which will resume in January. In addition to our regular update from the WHS Leadership Team, the theme of this meeting will be:

It is time for the Class of 2021 to order their cap/gown/tassel package for June 2021 graduation. Cost for the full package is $16. To order, please click here for the vendor website.

If you have questions or do not require any regalia, please contact your House Assistant. If you have financial concerns, please contact Karen Bognanni to be put in touch with Mr. Kelton.

As mandated by the State, influenza immunization is required for all children 6 months of age or older who are attending Massachusetts child care, pre-school, kindergarten, K-12, and colleges and universities no later than December 31, 2020.
