6th Grade Transition Information
APRIL 24, 2020
From the Lead Learner
Unfortunately, we were unable to host our regular transition nights and and had hoped to provide you with a virtual tour but then schools shut down so quickly. Below is gathering of resources that we hope will give you a feel for KP's vision and mission and our focus to support our transitioning students. Please do not hesitate to contact KP to speak with me with any questions or concerns. I can be reached by phone at (860) 929-5251 or by email at Joy_Wright@whps.org.

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."
