Notes from the Student/Family Handbook
Early dismissals from school should be requested only when absolutely necessary. If it becomes necessary to ask for an early dismissal, a written request, signed by a parent/caregiver, should be presented to the office, before 8:00AM at which time you will receive an early dismissal pass. At the time of the dismissal you are expected to report tot he office or front desk before leaving the building to sign out and wait for your parent/caregiver to pick up up.

"Public Act 16-189
We believe that it is vital for all students in West Hartford Public Schools to be able to efficiently and effectively use digital tools that empower them in all phases of the learning process, including research, problem solving, content creation, communication, and collaboration. We also believe that we must be committed at all times to protecting students' privacy and providing them with a powerful and safe educational experience. To that end, the West Hartford Public Schools follow the legal requirements of Public Act 16-189 to promote the safety and security of all students and staff.
In compliance with Connecticut State Law, we update online programs used within the district that house student data. The programs may be used district-wide, in a very small number of classrooms, or with individual students. The list will be updated each time the district enters into a new contract where student data is housed. For more information on the specifics of Public Act 16-189 and updates of vendor agreements, visit www.whps.org/pa189."
