Principal’s Message...

The Home Depot has as its motto, “You can do it, we can help.” In reflection, I cannot think of a better way of expressing my thoughts to the team approach that our staff has when working with the students of Whitin Middle School. If you are new to Whitin, you will quickly learn that our staff members are professionals and are committed to being the best they can be for both you and your child. One of the ways you can assist our staff is by continuing to support our school and staying involved in your child’s life.

Throughout the school year we will often remind students that a positive attitude, putting forth their individual best effort, and showing respect for others and themselves, are essential to being successful at Whitin. We believe that these goals will help students grow and feel safe as they navigate through the middle level years. Your support of these goals is appreciated.

Someone once said to me that raising a child is like holding a piece of soap. Squeeze too hard and too much, and they pop out of your hand. Hold on too loosely, and they fall out from under you. Needless to say, raising children during the middle years is both rewarding and challenging and often poses the greatest difficulty for kids who are not yet adults. We stand with you. Our staff is skilled at middle level education. We trust that at the end of your child’s middle level years, we were one of the many who stood beside you in helping to keep “the soap” from getting away.

If there is anything I can assist you with, please feel free to contact the Whitin office.

Best to you,

Dr. Ronald J. Farrar
