Dear Colleagues,
I hope you each had a productive week. As I write this message, I’m looking at snow continuing to fall, which I have to admit, brings a beauty and excitement that transports me back to my youth. As I watched our middle school students dismiss earlier this afternoon, I could see that same excitement on their faces, which was likely due to the snow and the start of our winter break. As we head into some well-deserved time off, I want to express my gratitude for your work this year in service of our students, families, and each other, all across our district. I hope the coming days will afford you time to rest, connect with family and friends, catch up on your favorite shows, or simply have a quiet afternoon to read in your favorite nook. However you spend this time, I hope it is restorative and I look forward to welcoming you back in the new year. Happy holidays, WPS!
With appreciation,
David
