Every day in school matters—attendance builds success.

Happy National Teacher Appreciation Day!

Hey students — showing up is your superpower. Each day you’re in class you level up your skills, meet friends, and get closer to your dreams. Be here. Be curious. Be unstoppable. #attendancematters
Regular school attendance is one of the strongest predictors of student success. When students come to school each day they learn new skills, stay connected with teachers and classmates, and access the supports they need to thrive. Chronic absenteeism can make it hard to catch up — but every day missed is also an opportunity to improve. Let’s work together — families, teachers, and neighbors — to make sure every student can be present, safe, and ready to learn. #EveryDayCounts #AchievingExcellenceTogether
A reminder that there is no school for students Monday, April 20 - Friday, April 24 for Spring Vacation. Have a safe Spring Break!
This morning, on "Superintendent's Spotlight", we talked with CEO Bo Sullivan about summer programming and the planned expansion of the Teen Center at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Westfield. Westfield Technical Academy students and staff also stopped by to help us recognize National Eggs Benedict Day. Thanks for watching. #AchievingExcellenceTogether

Creativity takes center stage as “Into the Arts” comes to Westfield High School on Saturday, April 11, to showcase visual arts from students in grades 2 and 4 through high school that will be displayed throughout the hallways and library on the first floor of WHS from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. “It’s Bandtastic,” featuring student musicians from grades 4 to 12, will perform at 1 p.m. in the gymnasium during the Into the Arts festival.
For the first time, WHS art students will preview their work on Thursday, April 9, from 5 to 7 p.m. in a free art show open to the public.
“The Art Club will be selling plants, and there will be refreshments in the library. It is called Prelude to the Arts, and we received a grant from the Mass Art Culture [Cultural Council]. Please feel free to stop by to see the art before Into the Arts,” said WHS art teacher Karen Kane.
Band Director Patrick Kennedy said It’s Bandtastic has been a highlight every year since its inception in the Spring of 2016.
