Superintendent's Message
June 18, 2010
 

 

   The 2009-2010 school year is drawing to a close.  The Regents exams began on Tuesday, June 15th and will continue through Wednesday, June 23rd.  We will hold our annual awards assembly for students in grades 7-12 at 8:15 a.m. in the gym.  Students in K-6 will be invited to join the assembly at approximately 9:15 a.m. Students will be dismissed following the assembly at approximately 10:30 a.m.  Graduation rehearsal will be held in the gym immediately following dismissal.  The Class of 2010 will graduate on Saturday, June 26th at 10:00 a.m. in the gym. 

   We have started initiatives for the next year. Grant money will be utilized to re-install phone messaging equipment in the school. Our phone lines will still be answered “live” by a real voice. However, at night and during very busy times your call will be answered by “auto-attendant” enabling the caller to leave a voice mail message for any school employee. Please watch for more news on this important upgrade as it will result in a convenient way for parents to communicate concerns to all of us at Westport School.

    We have also initiated a different method to schedule our high school students. Arena scheduling allows the guidance staff to schedule elective courses so the greatest number of students can take the courses they feel will help them. You should be receiving your student’s schedule over the summer. I hope your child shared the process with you and brought his/her course selection sheet home.

   Please encourage your child to read over the summer and to otherwise enjoy their free time. Check out our website for a listing of school supplies for next year

Westport Central School
