Weathersfield Weekly

Winter activities are continuing this week on Wednesday, January 24th. Remember all students have an early release day, so that they can attend their Winter Activity. We are looking forward to the second week of students and staff having a great time. Please reach out if you have any questions.

On January 23, 2024 from 6-7pm will be our annual High School Fair held in the Weathersfield All Purpose Room. The fair will be open to all 7-8th grade students and their families from Weathersfield and Hartland. If you like details about which school will be attending, please read this letter from our school counselor.

During the week of February 12th-16th you have the opportunity to come and have lunch with your loved one. If you would like to participate, please fill out the attached form. You will just choose a date and enjoy the time at school.

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.

If you are interested in your child attending Springfield High School and/or are interested in setting up a school visit with SHS. Please use the following request form: SHS School Visit Request Form. The school counselor at SHS will then reach out to you.

We have an extraordinary athletic achievement to recognize by an extraordinary athlete. This student has worked so hard, putting in countless hours of training, juggling traveling and school work, multiple sports at a time, and reaching goals we have not witnessed before. His absolute commitment to his goals and his training is unlike most student athletes his age, Isaac McNaughton.

Isaac qualified for the Vermont Middle School Cross Country state championships in St. Albans, Vermont on October 29th, it was a 3,000 meter race (3k). Isaac took first place out of 304 runners, with a time of 10:11 (next finisher was 31.6 seconds after).

Isaac, your Weathersfield School community is very proud of you, but not just because of your athletic achievements in cross country, hockey, track and more, we are proud of you for being kind, for your determination, your perseverance, and maybe most importantly because of the role model you are for younger brother, Gaelen, your teammates and the rest of our students. It is very fitting that you receive this recognition at our Panther P.R.I.D.E. assembly today. You are a remarkable young man and we look forward to what the future holds for you. Isaac, it is with great honor we present to you, the first for our school, your Vermont State Champion jacket. Wear it proudly and know that we will be your biggest fans along your journey.

Just a friendly reminder that as the cold weather approaches that students need the proper cold weather attire to play outside at recess. Once the snow hits the ground and stays, we encourage all students to have snow pants and gloves to stay warm and dry.
