March 10 Update


Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope everyone is enjoying your weekend.  I would like to use this opportunity to remind everybody of a few upcoming events.

8th Grade DC Trip Parent Meeting – All 8th grade parents and guardians please remember to attend the Parent Meeting scheduled for this coming Monday from 7:00 – 8:00 pm in the McCall auditorium.

WHS Course Selection Process for Incoming Freshman – All 8th grade parents and guardians please remember that the window to enter course selections and to review course recommendations will open this Tuesday.  Please review the instructions included here if you have not done so already.

Family Fitness Day – The PE department is organizing a Family Fitness day scheduled for this Thursday from 6:00-7:30 pm in the McCall gymnasium.  Students, family members, and friends are welcome to join the PE faculty for a night of exercise and excitement.  Parents and guardians will also get to know what our students are learning in PE, meet the teachers, and have some fun with your kids.  Activities such as volleyball, basketball, pickleball, and other fitness activities will be offered. 

McCall Science Program Information Session – Ms. MaryBeth DiMare, the Middle School Science Curriculum Leader, and I will be hosting an information session on the McCall science program scheduled for March 21 from 6:00-7:00 pm in the McCall Library.  We will be talking about the steps that the school has been taking during the last two years to align our curricula to the current State Frameworks.  In addition, we will talk about the pedagogy we are using to teach those standards as well as how we are structuring the middle school courses and curricula to align with the Frameworks.  Parents of all grade levels are welcome to join us.

Thank you and enjoy the upcoming week!
