Survey:  School Year 2014-2015 Calendar options
As you are probably aware, the WPS Calendar Committee is in the process of developing a calendar recommendation for SY 2014-2015. The feedback we have received to date has been invaluable in helping us draft three formal options for your review and consideration. In order to capture your responses, we have posted the three calendar options on our website, allowing you to see what these options look like for next year, along with the start/end dates of each approach for the next ten years. Once you review these calendar options, we invite you to complete the survey and rank order the three options based on your preferences. Please note: The order of your options will change with your rankings. It will do this each time you make a selection.

The survey will be open until October 23. Thanks in advance for your help!


Wellesley Green Schools Presents:
"It Is Vampire Energy Hunt Season"
Students: Try This to Help Save Energy & Money!

Energy Vampires are electronic appliances that are constantly using energy – even when you think they are off! Instead of being all the way off, they go into “stand-by mode” and suck energy when you are not using them. Sometimes these vampires have a tell-tale sign that can help you catch them — some give off a little light (like DVD players or microwave oven clocks) and some make noise like a laptop computer. Others (such as a cell phone charger) might be warm to the touch.

Along with a parent/guardian, K-2 students can walk around their homes looking for lights on appliances (cable box, TV, etc) and make note of these potential energy vampires. Students in grades 3-5 will like this hunt and WMS Students can try this to find out how much always being “plugged in” is costing you.

For more information please contact Wellesley Green Schools.
