Welcome Class of 2014!!! On behalf of the teachers and staff at the Terrier House, we welcome you to this learning community and know that you will excel while you are here. This year, we will be inviting you and your parent(s) to our freshman breakfast. It will take place on the first day of school. We will be mailing out some information in early August.

At that time, you will receive a copy of your academic schedule. You will meet the Terrier House teachers and your elective teachers as well. The morning will be dedicated just to you as you will be the only students here until 10:00am when the rest of the school joins us.

There is a summer reading list posted at the WSHS website for incoming freshman that you are responsible to complete. Please be sure you have checked this out and you have completed the required reading prior to the start of the school year. Your English teachers will begin the work associated with these literature pieces as soon as you arrive!

This year will be a year to learn a lot about yourself and how you learn best. Your Terrier House teachers and guidance counselor, Mrs. Sibilia, have many activities planned to assist you in this area so we hope you will enjoy this learning experience.

Parents, we are always looking for volunteers to join our Parent Advisory Council. If you are interested, pleas e-mail me at silvestri@wsps.org, or call (413)263-3470. You input into our programs is very valuable. Have a wonderful and enjoyable summer. We will see you on September 1st.

Thank you,
Maria A. Silvestri, M.Ed.
