Day School News

Dear Day School Community,

We are waiting with great anticipation for the opening day of school. The custodians have worked through the hottest days of the summer to get the building ready for our staff and students. Teachers have been preparing their classroom spaces to be welcoming for their students on the first day of school. Our office staff have been hard at work registering new students, preparing documents, learning new technologies, and ordering supplies. Now the only thing left to do is to fill our hallways with the smiles and laughter of our third, fourth, and fifth graders!

In this newsletter you'll find important information about logging onto to our new parent portal, PowerSchool. The parent portal opens on Tuesday, August 16 @Noon. At that time we will also be emailing teacher letters and supply lists for the coming school year.

We will have a couple of tours and events for incoming third graders and new families to Westford. Be sure to mark your calendars for these events.

Finally, welcome to our newest Day School staff and faculty. We are looking forward to an amazing school year!

Sincerely,

Chris Louis Sardella, Principal

Chrissy Michaud, Assistant Principal

BUS PASSED ARE REQUIRED FOR ALL STUDENTS RIDING THE BUS.

All students who plan to ride the bus during any point of the school year are required to register for a bus pass. Parents must register all children who plan to ride the bus, whether they qualify for fee-based transportation or not. All registrations for bus transportation will require online registration.

Please visit: https://www.westfordk12.us/district/transportation to determine cost and to register.

As the district increases its use of MySchoolBucks (MSB) for payments, we wanted to call attention to the program’s One-Pay option. All individual payments incur a 4.95% processing fee, whether payment is made via credit card, debit card or e-check (authorization of a direct withdrawal from a checking account through the use of the bank routing and account number).

Under the One-Pay option, a family can choose to either pay $12.95 for a single student or $26.95 for a family, and this would cover all e-check fees for one year from date of enrollment (note that credit/debit card payments would still incur fees). This can cross over school years. Enrollment in the One-Pay option is on the MSB home page, click here. If you have any questions, please contact the WPS Business Office at (978) 692-5560 ext. 2100 or
