Special Announcements

Senior Information: As seniors approach graduation day, many important issues have to be resolved. Principal William Beando, in a letter to seniors, outlines many of these issues. An End-of-Year Calendar of Events gives all the important dates for this time of year.

Summer Programs: WRHS Summer School will run from June 21 through July 25. More information and a registration form are now available.
The Wachusett Summer Art Academy is back for another year. Information on offerings and registration are available on the Art Department Page.

Budget Information: In advance of the 2012 Town Meetings, the WRSDSC has adopted its FY13 budget with these appropriations. More information on the District's finances can be found on the District Budget Website.

PowerSchool Changes: In order to improve PowerSchool functionality for parents, we have changed the way parents access the PowerSchool system. You will need to visit ps.wrsd.net to create your account and add existing PowerSchool access information. This new system will allow parents with multiple children in the district to access all of their children's information from one login account. It also will allow you to choose your own username and password for easier access to PowerSchool. Please visit ps.wrsd.net to set up your account as soon as possible. Thank you.

The sophomores are taking the MCAS Math exam today in White House classrooms. Testing will last the first 3 periods of the day. White House freshmen classes have been reassigned, and students should not be traveling through the White House while testing is going on. Good luck to all sophomores.

Copies of the senior exam schedule will be posted in the cafeteria, outside both the main and upper school offices, as well as the entrances by the gym and J101. Please make sure to check the schedule for room assignments. A reminder to all seniors that you are to remain in the exam room for the entire exam period -- failure to do so, will result in a failing grade for the exam.

Many thanks to all those who came out to support the Dig Purple volleyball match last night. The boys played well in an exciting series of games against a determined BVT squad!
