It is hard to believe the end of school year is already here! With the blistering heat and warm classrooms, all students and staff are definitely ready for a much needed summer vacation. The month of June was very busy with student performances. The fifth graders did an amazing job with their musical production of Matilda. Who knows? Some of them may be headed for Broadway in the future! Thank you to musical director Ashley Korecki, choreographer and Day School alum Emily Jamieson, and all the parent volunteers who made this show so successful. The band and orchestra had their annual spring concert on Friday. You can hear songs from each group in the newsletter below.
A reminder to fifth grade families:
The completion ceremony will be held on Tuesday morning, June 23 beginning at 10AM. Please consider making a donation to the PTO for this end of the year event. Your contribution pays for the fifth grade t-shirts, Kona ice treat at our celebration, and an end of the year gift to the school. See details about how to donate in the newsletter below. We appreciate your generosity!

News from Nurse Connor
Dear Day School Families,
It has been a wonderful first year, and I have truly enjoyed getting to know your child.
With the summer break approaching, I would like to remind you to collect any medications currently stored in the clinic. Please do so during the last week of school, or your child's last day of attendance.
While all controlled substances must be picked up, I am happy to continue storing inhalers or EpiPens through the summer for students returning to Day School in the fall.
As we prepare for the fall, please ensure that any school-administered medications have a new physician's order. These orders remain valid for one year and must include signatures from both the physician and a parent/ guardian. All forms are located on the WPS Health website.
I wish you all a restful and enjoyable summer break, and look forward to our return in the fall. Please reach out via email if you have any questions.
Warmly,
Connor Crivello, RN
Wishing everyone a safe and relaxing summer!

Westford Cultural Council
The Westford Cultural Council supports cultural, educational, & community programming through grant funding for the benefit of Westford residents.
We have launched a 2026 Community Input Survey to gather feedback from the community about the types of programs, events, and initiatives residents would like to see supported in the future. We hope Westford Public Schools teachers and employees will also complete the survey so that we can capture input from the school community as well.

The survey will remain open through June 30, 2026
Robinson School Building Project Update and SURVEY
A big THANK YOU to everyone who has attended or watched our community forums this spring. Watch our recap here: https://www.youtube.com/live/sNbsD4383Tk. We've catalogued current facility conditions, scoped out potential land sites, and developed goals for educational programming and sustainability. Next, we'll receive preliminary costs on a range of options -- from repairs to addition/reno to new construction -- and narrow the list of 18 scenarios based on a list of criteria in July.
Help determine those criteria by taking this brief survey.
We want to know what matters most to the community, including meeting educational needs, traffic/safety, cost, site impacts and more. Survey Link: https://tejoin.com/scroll/709687880
In the fall, we'll start talking about potential redistricting impacts and choosing the size of the project enrollment. Want to receive weekly updates and forum reminders? Sign up for the WPS Billboard email at westfordk12.us/all-billboards and follow the instructions at the top of the page. Visit the project website: RobinsonSchoolProject.com
