Congratulations to our Destination Imagination Teams for doing a spectacular job at Regionals!
Three teams are going to States this year!
Five teams brought home ribbons and all teams finished in the top ten of their challenges. The entire school community is so proud of them!


Here are the Tournament results from Saturday, March 14th at Whitman-Hanson High School.  Each year Destination Imagination challenges students with different types of problems to solve.  This year’s Technical Challenge had our teams building a creature and sending it on an adventure.  The Fine Arts Challenge asked students, “What are you afraid of?”  They needed to create a story about a character who faces a phobia, while displaying a piece of artwork and by using an illusion.  Two of our teams went to “The Improv Games”, using improvisational games and street performances in random settings and with different situations.  This year’s team members and tournament rankings are listed below.  Additionally, five WPS Alumni, Tyler DiFiore, Abby Hjort, Brenna Kennedy, Mackenzie Mattson, and Evelyn Moore fielded a team at King Philip Middle School. They place 1st over our 2nd Place Team Brown in the Technical Challenge: Creature Feature.  For more information about DI over all, questions about this year’s challenges, or State Tournament information, etc., please contact Linda DeVore at diwrentham@gmail.com.

School Bus
Issues, Investigations, and Resolution Process
Our goal is to provide safe, reliable school transportation. While students may be impacted by many variables such as length of trip, passengers on a given day, and the driver, proper bus behavior is expected following our Core Values of Respect, Responsibility and Communication. Our drivers are dedicated individuals who are committed to your child’s safe passage. Their primary responsibility is to drive safely.
 
Process following a reported bus incident:
 
§  An investigation is started by the principal.
§  A team (counselors, principal, teachers) approach is used to collect information.
§  Either counselors or principal will make a call to the parents of the children involved.
§  Several days are often needed to complete the investigation.
§  Non-confidential information will be shared during phone calls.
 
 
 
Friday April 3 is an early release day.
Dismissal at 12 Noon!
