Dear Families,
Happy New Year! We are so happy to be back in session. Our students and staff came back ready to learn and excited to share stories of their winter break. These next few weeks are predicted to feel like winter with temperatures in the 20s and 30s. We will be outdoors for recess whenever possible, so please continue to send your students with clothing that will keep them warm and comfortable for play. Below are some events and important upcoming dates including the special Board of Education meeting on the budget this Monday night which can be accessed through this link on the Weston Public Schools website.
