Advance The Excellence

We want to take this opportunity to thank all our families for their amazing generosity. 

We still have $6,000 to go to meet our goal of $72,500, but with the donations already received, we're assisting WHS faculty and staff with their professional development and classroom needs.   Thank you for your support!

The presentation from last week's Financial Aid Night has been added to the WHS Guidance website under "Presentations for Parents/Guardians" and can be found on the MEFA website. 

Two details not included in the presentation involve the Wellesley Scholarship Foundation and the Wellesley Hills Junior Women's Club. Both organizations spoke about the scholarship opportunities they provide to WHS students, their application process, deadlines and access to their websites.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE

Please note: the nurses will not be available on Monday Nov 30th, which is the first day of winter sport practices. 

Winter sport physicals are due in the Nurse's Office by November 16.  

All students athletes are required to have a current physical examination on file in the Nurse's Office before a student can tryout, practice or participate in a sport as required by the MIAA guidelines.  

The Athletic Office or individual coaches will not accept physical examination reports. 

If your student has a current physical examination on file in the Nurse's Office and it is NOT due to expire you do not need to provide another copy.

If your student's physical exam expires during the sport season, your student will no longer be able to participate until a new physical examination has been obtained and is on file in the Nurse's Office.

The High School Nurse's Office will have extended hours on Monday November 23 and Tuesday November 24 until 4 PM.  PLEASE NOTE: Late submission of physicals delays the student from any athletic activity until all the registration requirements are completed.
