Whitin Weekly October 12th
A reminder that homeroom begins at 7:40 each morning for both in-person and remote students. All students should be either in their homeroom classroom by 7:40 or in their homeroom Zoom by 7:40 each morning. Attendance will be taken during homeroom. If a student is not in homeroom by the time the teacher submits attendance they will be marked absent. Calls are being made home to parents of any student who is marked absent. If a child was marked absent but was having difficulty logging in or was late in logging in, please call the Whitin main office and the absence will be corrected.

Whitin Weekly September 20, 2020
I want to start by saying how proud I am of our Whitin students this past Thursday and Friday. Whether students were in-person or remote, our Whitin students were ready to start the school year. Students in-person had their masks on, Chromebooks charged and followed all guidelines and expectations. Students online were on their Chromebooks for 7:40, and checking their emails and logging into Zoom meetings throughout the day. While there were some technical issues which we are still working through, the students showed perseverance and resilience. Again, I cannot be more proud of the students this week.

Free Meals for All Students
While the start of the school year looks a little different for everyone, I wanted to share with you some good news that schools nationwide received last week. The USDA extended a waiver that allows schools to serve free breakfast and lunch to ALL students, as late as December 31, 2020 or as long as funding is available. We are thrilled with this news as it means that we will be able to provide all UXBRIDGE PUBLIC SCHOOLS students with nutritious and nourishing food for free that will support them, both in school and at home.
