Hello Weston High School PTO families,
I hope everyone had a very Happy Thanksgiving and a great start to December. It’s a busy time of year for one and all. There's lots going on for students, teachers, and families at Weston High School this month.
This past Friday on, December 4th, we had our monthly PTO General Board Meeting. It was a great meeting, and we were delighted to welcome Superintendent Tina Henckel as our guest speaker. She shared with us about the growth mindset and had some very insightful perspectives for all of us. Details on the meeting recording and reading materials can be found below in the newsletter. Please check it out if you were unable to join us.
Tonight at 7PM is the Junior College Kick Off. Juniors and their parents are encouraged to join. Information regarding this meeting was emailed to all students and parents. For more details, check the Class of 2024 section for a summary.
On Thursday, our students will participate in a special pep rally during the school day to support the winter athletes and celebrate the success of the fall season. Weston High School band concert is coming up this Thursday, December 8th. Thursday, December 17th, is the WHS orchestra and choir concert, followed by Jazz Night on Wednesday, December 21st.
Weston High School held the first School Climate Committee meeting before Thanksgiving and another one earlier this week. It is a collaboration of students, faculty, and parents getting together to discuss the direction and culture of the student experience at WHS. It is a great place for us to come together and work as a team to enhance the student experience at WHS. The committee meets regularly to work as a group. Looking forward to what’s ahead with this amazing collaborative group!
While all the students and staff at Weston High School are all extremely busy, our staff appreciation chair people, Lisa Zhang and Tammy Roberts, are planning a winter dessert bar for our teachers and staff on December 21st. We are so appreciative of all our teachers and staff do! We look forward to showing them how much we care with this sweet end-of-year treat!
It’s been wonderful seeing so many of you at our General Board meetings, both in person and online. January will kick off with an entirely virtual General Board Meeting on January 6th, followed by an in-person and hybrid “Coffee & Conversation” with Principal Meghan Ward on January 10th at 9 am. Look out for more details soon!
The last edition of The Word for 2022 is scheduled for Tuesday, December 20th. Until then, please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, concerns, or ideas. Feel free to email me at crizpto@yahoo.com or call/text me at 516-581-7474. I am happy to help and would love to hear from you.
With Warm Regards,
