Dear Weston Middle School Families:
This week our 7th grade students will be taking a field trip to the Yale Peabody Museum. The adventurers (purple) team will go on March 18, the explorers (green) team will go on March 19. It is helpful if students wear their team t-shirts/colors. Please remember that students need to bring lunch with them on the day of the field trip.
This Thursday we will hold a transition night for parents of current 5th grade students. A separate email communication was sent to families of 5th grade students. The presentation will begin at 7 pm on March 20, 2025 in the Weston Middle School Library.
This Friday, March 21, is a full day professional development day for staff. There will be no school for students on Friday. The WMS PTO has planned grade level socials for 7th and 8th grade students on Friday.
