Dear Families,
Memorial Day weekend is a special experience for our students and Weston families. We hope you will find time to enjoy the Memorial Day Fair, organized and run by the HES and WIS PTO. There is something for everyone at the fair and it is a great way to gather as a community. There are many events and activities planned around town to celebrate and honor this important holiday.
Library Book Notices
All library books are due Tuesday, May 27th. Notices reflecting all books checked out have been emailed. Please help your child return books as soon as possible. This allows time to ensure all books are returned and the library is organized for next year. The LRC remains open for lessons and for borrowing for in-school use of books. If you have any questions please email Susan Haven, our LRC Assistant susanhaven@westonps.org
End of Year Celebrations
Each class will have an end of year celebration with their classroom teacher to recognize all they have accomplished this year. Classroom teachers communicate those dates and times to families. Due to space constraints, please limit guests to two adults per child. Many families then follow up with family celebrations at home so they can include extended family members. We also do not allow for siblings to miss class time to attend each other’s parties.
Planning for Next Year
If for any reason, your student is not returning to Hurlbutt or not transitioning to WIS next year, please reach out to our registrar, Nicole DiPierro at nicoledipierro@westonps.org. This will give us time to prepare withdrawal paperwork before the summer. We know when families are moving, the receiving districts may need transcripts or information prior to the end of the current school year.
One School One Book
Save the date for our Family Fun Night featuring activities and crafts inspired by our One School One Book selection this year. We hope you were able to join us in reading our One School One Book selection this year, A True Home. Our One School One Book website is still active. Here is the link if you want to check it out.

Last chance to donate to the Used Book Sale at the One School, One Book Family Fun event in June! We invite you to send your child in with their gently used books for donation to the sale. Books will be accepted until this Wednesday, May 28th. Collection boxes will be in the classroom and please only send books appropriate for grades K-2. Please note we will not accept any books with rips, spills or missing flaps. Most books will be $1 (some hardcovers will be $5). Cash and venmo will be accepted. This is a great opportunity to recycle wonderful books within our community, especially before summer! Any questions? Please contact Whitney Levin at Whitneyshaylevin@gmail.com
Spring Climate Surveys
This is the last week to participate in our school climate surveys. We encourage your participation and feedback as we begin to plan for the next school year. The survey window for all surveys is from May 4th to May 31st. For your convenience, here is the link to the district surveys. Family Survey The climate surveys provide an opportunity to gather comprehensive data on the experiences and perceptions of students, staff, and the broader community. Your feedback is important to us. If you have more than one child in the Weston Public Schools, please complete one survey for each child. The survey is anonymous. Students (grades 3 and up) and staff in each of our buildings will complete Panorama Education student and staff climate surveys during the month of May. Our students in grades 1 and 2 will continue to take the survey used in previous years. We hope you feel comfortable answering the questions honestly to help us review our programs and ensure our students feel physically, socially, and emotionally safe in our schools.
Kindergarten Registration
If you have an incoming kindergarten student for the 25-26 school year, please begin the registration process. Follow this link to our district website to register. Registration If you have a student in the ELC program who is age eligible for kindergarten, you will need to register using the link above.
