Westfield Intermediate School opened its doors back in 2018, and this year’s graduating seniors were the very first class to spend their 5th and 6th-grade years at WIS. It was an honor to welcome back members of the WHS and WTA Class of 2026 for a walkthrough today. Our students and staff lined the halls to greet and congratulate them. "Once a WIS-kid, always a WIS-kid!"
As a culminating activity for our grade-wide food truck math project, students at Westfield Intermediate School had the exciting opportunity to learn from real local businesses. Throughout the project, students worked hard across the grade level to design their own food trucks, create menus, determine pricing, calculate expenses and profits, and develop marketing materials. We would like to extend a sincere thank you to 7Bs Food Truck and the Holyoke Ice Cream Cart for visiting our school and sharing their experiences as business owners. Their presentations helped students connect the math skills they used throughout the project to real-world applications, while also inspiring creativity, entrepreneurship, and future career interests. We are grateful for the time, knowledge, and enthusiasm they brought to our students
Show up. Learn. Grow. Repeat. Every day in school = one step closer to your goals! #everydaycounts

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!

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.
