WHS Principal’s Newsletter

June 19, 2026

Dear Families,?

Welcome to the last newsletter for the SY 2025-2026.? I want to thank everyone for their contributions towards making this such a successful year at Wellesley High School. In any given year there are many challenges and many successes, but when we work together as a community we can have more of the latter.

Thank you to all our faculty and staff for working to support our students academically and beyond. Thank you to all the families who did a million things this year to make sure your kids had what they needed to show up and learn here.? I appreciate being a part of a community that cares so much about the education of its children.?

Finally, thanks to the kids. High School is not an easy time, even though there is a lot of joy that is possible here.?

?I actually hope many of you don��t even see this letter because you��re off on your next adventures, but we have included some important information below in case you need it.?

Office hours this summer: the main office is basically accessible from 8 am to 3 pm Monday through Friday, except for holidays.???
Teachers are not in during the summer and are not expected to check their emails.? My advice would be to reach out to them closer to the start of the next school year if you need to reach them. That last week in August would be a safe bet.?
School Counselors are in for about a week after the students leave and are in another week before they arrive in the fall.? Those would be the best times to connect with any of those professionals.?
Department Heads are not full year employees either. You can try to reach them by email over the summer, but please do not expect a quick response as they are only in sporadically over the summer.?
The Assistant Principals, the Director of School Counseling and I do work over the summer to prepare for the upcoming school year. Please do not hesitate to reach out to any of us if you have any more immediate questions that can��t wait until the fall.?
The will have updated information on fall tryouts later in the summer. Please check here for that information.?
Summer Assignments for classes are posted on the .? Please be sure your student checks this site to be sure if they have work.?
