Weathersfield Weekly

Winter activities are continuing this week on Wednesday, January 31st. Remember all students have an early release day, so that they can attend their Winter Activity. We are looking forward to the third week of students and staff having a great time. It is wonderful for all of the students to experience something that they may not get to do on a regular basis. Please reach out if you have any questions.

On January 23, 2024, we had our annual High School Fair held in the Weathersfield All Purpose Room. The fair was a great opportunity for students to speak with some of the neighboring high schools to get an idea of where they would like to take their next step on their educational journey. Students heard about the different programs and opportunities that each school can offer them. Students were planning shadow days and got swag from the schools. Parents were able to get questions answered regarding the different schools. Thank you for all that attended.

Attention Parents and Guardians of 8th grade students:

Windsor will be having their Student Shadow Week for sending school students during the week of January 29th- February 2nd. Parents can reach out to Madison Murphy ( madison.murphy@wsesu.net) to set it up a day to shadow. Students can do a half day or a full day at Windsor school. Windsor will provide a free lunch for students. Families will need to arrange their own transportation for the day. If you do decide to set up a shadow day for your student, please notify BJ Esty or Carrie Jewell at the Weathersfield School main office so that we can excuse your child's absence for that day.
