Fun full steam ahead!

As we wind down the month of October, next week promises to be a ton of fun! The Student Council has planned a Spirit Week for next week culminating with the MS Dance Friday night. The whole school is invited to participate in Spirit Week but the dance is only for Middle Schoolers. Remember that Thursday will feature a short Costume Parade at 9:00. Friday will have the students participating in the PTA Viking Challenge during their specials. 
The week's themes: 

  • Monday- Pajama Day
  • Tuesday - Mix and Match Day
  • Wednesday - Sports Jersey Day 
  • Thursday - Costume Day 
  • Friday - Color Wars Day 
    • 8th: Red
    • 7th: Green
    • 6th: Black
    • 5th: Blue 
    • 4th: Yellow
    • 3rd: Orange
    • 2nd: White
    • 1st: Purple
    • K: Gray
    • Staff: Pink
I have had many communications and conversations since my email on Tuesday. I do want to reiterate to everyone, my highest priority is student and staff safety. I do not take this responsibility lightly. I am honored that people trust me to keep their children safe here at school. To this end, any time we receive an allegation or someone reports something, we immediately take action and investigate the situation. I work in conjunction with the building-level team (Assistant Principal and Adjustment Counselor), the Central Office (Director of Student Support), and the Princeton Police Department (School Resource Officer). Together we determine if a threat was made and, if so, the credibility of this threat. Based on our work together, decisions around the next steps are made and potential communication is made to families. I'd also like to reiterate my invitation to all families to come talk about safety. The Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent, and I will plan to meet with families next Tuesday evening at 5:30 here at TPS.  

A note from WRHS: 

"Dear WRSD Families,

As part of our ongoing efforts to ensure that the high school curriculum meets the diverse interests and needs of our current students and future Mountaineers at WRHS, we are currently reviewing our World Language offerings. To help guide this process, I am requesting input from families of students in grades 5-8.

Please take a moment to complete the attached survey by Friday, November 1st. Your feedback is invaluable as we strive to provide the best educational opportunities for all our students.

World Language Survey

Thank you for your time and participation.

Mr. Pratt"

Mid Summer!

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer! We are excited to have the kids back...just not yet. We still have some work to do. However, I wanted to put several things on your radars.  We have scheduled our annual  Popsicles on the Playground for   August 23rd from 4:00-6:00. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the weather cooperates and we can actually have the event on the playground. I'm 0 for 2 so far in my tenure here! This event is hosted by the PTA and is an opportunity for all students to get reacclimated to the building and new students to get some nerves out and possibly make some new friends. This is also an opportunity to pick up new t-shirts. Use this link and order by August 14th to get them in time. I'd encourage everyone to consider joining the PTA team!   Updated School Supply lists can be found on our website here . Our goal is always to keep costs for  families down, however, if the list proves to be too much for you please reach out...

All the things!

The Middle School started the week off with a special presentation from Mr. John Frost. He travels the world witnessing and documenting eclipses. He shared his passion with the Middle Schoolers and explained the coming eclipse to them. The kids left excited about this upcoming phenomenon! Just a reminder that April 8th is a school day.  The bus company has asked me to remind parents that any balls transported on the bus should be tucked into backpacks before boarding. Apparently, there have been some issues with loose balls rolling around buses and this can be a safety hazard. Thanks for your attention to this matter.  As you may know, our courtyards are maintained by volunteers. They are due up for their spring cleanup . Ms. Santello will be leading a group of volunteers to tackle the Bangrazi courtyard on Saturday, April 6th from 9:00-2:00. Help clean up the raised garden beds, rake leaves, weed, and plant. Snacks and coffee provided. Contact Ms. Santello at elaine_sant...
