Principal's Welcome Message

Welcome to Weston Middle School, where we work in partnership with parents and the community to support and empower our students as they transition from childhood to adolescence.  

Middle school is a time of rapid (and exciting) academic, physical, and social-emotional growth and development for students. During these formative years, adolescents begin to discover who they are, what they care about, and how they connect to the world around them. It’s a period marked by curiosity, creativity, and a desire for independence—making it a crucial time for supportive guidance, meaningful relationships, and engaging learning opportunities that help students thrive both in and out of the classroom.

WMS’s talented staff strive everyday to meet students where they are and challenge them to grow through a rigorous and relevant curriculum, student centered instructional practices, and school culture conditions that prioritize safety and acceptance. If we do our work well, students gain the knowledge, skills, and habits of mind to become productive global citizens who seek to make the world a better place for everyone.

At WMS, we embrace the middle school philosophy where teams of core academic teachers share the same group of students and meet regularly to discuss and plan how best to meet their individual and collective needs.  Our middle school program allows students to explore a variety of areas in addition to core academics, including art, music, world language, health and wellness, physical education, coding, technology, and engineering.  

We are also fortunate to have a robust co-curricular program that provides opportunities for students to develop collaboration, communication, and problem-solving skills. These activities include mock trial, robotics, math team, the WMS Morning Show, yearbook, newspaper, student government, and Short Wharf musical theater.  

Our SOAR program seeks to recognize and promote our core values of safety, ownership, attitude, and respect. We explicitly teach social-emotional skills and use our Connect Advisory period as well as whole school experiences to build community and provide students with skills to foster resilience and learn problem-solving skills. 

We are extremely fortunate to have a very active and supportive PTO whose members’ time, talent, and treasure enriches the teaching and learning at WMS and contributes to building a positive school climate for students and staff. 

The entire WMS staff is truly honored to serve our community and walk alongside our students during this incredible time of discovery and possibility.

If I can be of any assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact me directly.

Assistant Principal's Message

I am thrilled to serve as the Assistant Principal at Weston Middle School.   At WMS, our educators deliver instruction and curriculum by engaging students in critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication, to best develop their decision-making and problem solving skills. The middle school’s diverse educational programs and co-curricular activities allow students to explore their interests and have new experiences out of their comfort zone. Using inquiry-based learning and rigorous content, our educators challenge all students to explore real-world problems and engage in meaningful learning.

The teachers and administrative team hold the highest standards for all students at WMS. High expectations for student respect, responsibility, and integrity help create a positive learning environment where all students feel enthusiastic about their school experiences. It is our goal that each child will reach their greatest potential both academically and behaviorally, along with being fully prepared for success in high school, college, and in their career.

The collaboration with the staff, students, families, and community members at Weston Middle School creates a culture that promotes the philosophy of life-long learning. It is my belief that this is the type of culture where all members of our school community can thrive.

As a member of your school community, I am excited to support your families in preparing our students at WMS for success. My office door is always open. Please feel free to contact me with any questions, comments, or concerns.
