Hello and Welcome back to school!

We are very happy that this day has finally arrived.

We have created a website for learning that will bring some consistency in our collective approach. This website link will be located on the front page of www.warehamps.org, and bookmarked to the school assigned Chromebooks. There, you will find your teachers, their contact information, links for Google Classroom, various helpful resources, and weekly expectations.

Flu Vaccine Updated Information - 01/19/2021

Dear Parents and Guardians, 

The Department of Public Health has removed the requirement of a flu vaccination for students attending Pre K - 12 schools. 

Listed below is a copy of the notice which I received.

"The Massachusetts Department of Public Health is removing the requirement for flu vaccination for attendance in childcare/preschool, primary, secondary and postsecondary education. Preliminary data show that this has been a mild flu season to date, presumably as people have received their seasonal flu vaccine and have been adhering to mask-wearing and social distancing due to COVID-19. Given the intensive Commonwealth-wide efforts regarding COVID-19 vaccination, DPH wants to alleviate the burden to obtain flu vaccination and focus on continuing our COVID -19 vaccination efforts.

 DPH continues to strongly recommend that everyone age six months and older receive their seasonal flu vaccine each year."

Dear Parents and Guardians,

On behalf of the faculty, staff, and administrators, we are thrilled to welcome students back into the schools on October 5th. We have eagerly been anticipating this day, and even though we have been teaching remotely, it just is not the same.

Safety measures for students and staff are in place, along with a thorough building cleaning process as our students and staff's safety is our top priority. Masks must be worn at all times during the school day (exception – designated mask breaks).

Please help us keep everyone healthy and do not send your child to school if your child is ill.

Your child's principal will be sharing additional details about procedures specific to a building.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions you may have.

Thank you again,

Dr. Kimberly B. Shaver-Hood
