Attendance = Learning + Friendships + Future Success
Strong attendance today creates brighter opportunities tomorrow.
🐻❄️💥🐦 Attendance Competition Kicks Off!
In the spirit of promoting student attendance, WIS is holding a friendly competition to recognize the teams with the attendance rates that meet our goal. To celebrate the occasion, we had 2 special guests join us at yesterday’s lunch. Our very own Koda the Polar Bear invited long-time friend the WHS Bomber Bird to WIS to kick it off.
We're challenging all of our school teams to step up their daily attendance game. Here’s what’s at stake:
Weekly Raffles: Any team that achieves 95% or better daily attendance for the week will be entered into a raffle for an extra recess! The more weeks you hit the goal, the more chances you have to win!
Pizza Party: The team with the highest overall attendance rate for the month will win the ultimate prize: a PIZZA PARTY!
Let’s see which team brings the biggest commitment and earns that pizza party! Good luck, everyone!

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. #AchievingExcellenceTogether
✨ Consistent attendance = consistent success! ✨
Every day in school is a chance to learn, grow, and connect. When students show up, they set themselves up for achievement today and opportunities tomorrow. Let’s make attendance a priority—it’s the first step toward reaching every goal! 📚✅ #AttendanceMatters #EveryDayCounts

More than 20 people, some virtually, attended the first Special Education Parent Advisory Committee (SEPAC) meeting of the school year on Sept. 11 in the Westfield River Elementary library to meet Gregory Rosenthal, Westfield’s new administrator of special services and student support services.
Most recently, Rosenthal, who started on July 1, was the director of special education and student services for the Douglas Public Schools. Prior to that role, he had a similar one with the Northbridge Public Schools. He has also worked as a special education teacher and administrator in public schools and out-of-district private special education schools.
