A Message From The Principal
Across all three schools, our hallways continue to be filled with student work that reflects creativity, effort, and a strong understanding of the content being taught. Classrooms are lively spaces where laughter, thoughtful discussion, and curiosity are present each day.
Students often stop by my office to proudly share their completed work, giving us the opportunity to talk about their learning and celebrate accomplishments together. It is clear that our students are continuing to build confidence and find success through both academic and co-curricular opportunities.
I would also like to address the ongoing conversations surrounding the possible Walpole withdrawal. Many families and community members have questions about what this could look like should Walpole decide to withdraw. While some questions have been answered, we have been informed that others cannot be addressed at this time. This is an important decision that will impact everyone in the town of Walpole.
The deliberative session took place on Monday evening. I strongly encourage you to attend our upcoming Site-Based Meeting (date to be determined), where we will continue conversations related to the Walpole withdrawal and discuss next steps following the deliberative session. These meetings are designed to be open and welcoming, and we hope families feel comfortable participating. Open dialogue helps build understanding of what is happening both across the district and within the Walpole schools.
In addition, the Town of Walpole will be holding three informational meetings at the Town Hall on:
- Wednesday, February 11th at 6:30 PM
- Wednesday, February 25th at 6:30 PM
- Saturday, February 28th at 1:00 PM
Attending these meetings may help provide additional clarity and support informed decision-making as you prepare to vote on March 10th.
Please feel free to email me with any questions. If I do not have an answer immediately, I will do my best to find one for you.
Walpole Schools are a special place. Regardless of the outcome of the vote, we will continue to put our students first and remain committed to providing a high-quality education and meaningful opportunities for all.
