Daylight Savings time is here! (Which means I will be asking, "But what time is it really?" for the next 2 weeks.). Although we are losing an hour, I know we're all excited for lighter, brighter evenings and all things spring! In each classroom I visited this week I saw small group instruction, heard academic conversations, and felt lots of positive energy - wonderful things are happening at Wessagusset!

Below you will find helpful information for the weeks ahead:

• It is time for students to update their Chromebooks! Directions can be found here.

• Lifetouch Individual and Class Pictures will take place on Thursday, March 24th. Information will be sent home this week.
