WHS Principal’s Newsletter for 12 June, 2026

Dear Families, 

Welcome to the end of the last Friday of the school year. Today was the last day of regular classes for the 9-11th graders, as next week starts our finals. Each color block will meet next week for a full two hours. Some of those blocks will be in the morning and others will be in the afternoon. Please consult the schedule below to know when your child needs to be at their final. 

My advice for finals is for students to take them seriously, and to get their rest before the week. They’re important and they could impact students’ final grades, however they are not worth so much that students should lose sleep over them this week. If you want to know the percentage value of a specific exam please consult that course syllabus. Students are encouraged to reach out to their teachers beforehand if they have questions.  

Wellesley Media will be broadcasting our Graduation Ceremony throughout the month of June 2026. Please visit the Wellesley Media website or https://www.youtube.com/user/WellesleyChannelTV/videos

The weather was warm and sunny, the stands were packed, and it was a beautiful evening for a graduation ceremony. We recognize all of Wellesley High School Class of 2026 for their hard work, energy, passion, and lasting contributions to WHS. 

Special congratulations for these honors: 

Congratulations on your graduation! We wish you incredible success in all your future endeavors.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

If your child has medication in the Health Office, they should pick up their medication at the end of their school day on their last day of finals.

Please call us if you have any questions.

Thanks and best wishes for a healthy and restful summer!

Anne, Krisann and Pam

8th graders ( our rising Freshmen ) are holding a surplus school supply drive at WMS and WHS from Monday June 8th to Wednesday June 17th. All supplies we receive will be donated to schools in Lawrence and Lowell. They’re asking for any new or gently used school supplies that are left over from this school year.

The goal is to eliminate the stress and reduce the cost of necessary school supplies. It is important that all students throughout the state feel that they have all the resources they need to have a successful learning environment.

Please consider donating any of the extra school supplies you may have to help make the classroom an equal experience for all.

The Donation Box is located in front of the WHS Main Office – Thank You!

Save the date! We are excited to announce that Homecoming Weekend will take place on October 16–17 this fall. Students, families, alumni, and community members are invited to join us for a weekend filled with school spirit, special events, and opportunities to reconnect.

The festivities will begin Friday evening with our annual Homecoming football game under the lights at Darcey Field. On Saturday, the celebration continues with Raiders Day at Hunnewell Fields from 11-2, where we welcome families and children of all ages to join us for a day of fun and games!

Lastly, we will have the Homecoming Dance for WHS students that evening.

Additional details to follow – Let’s go, Raiders!

Thank you and have a wonderful weekend, Ella Wigren ’27

Please don’t forget we will be observing the Juneteenth holiday on next Friday the 19th of June to commemorate the exact date U.S. Army General Gordon Granger announced all the slaves in Texas had been freed in 1865. 

I hope everyone has a great weekend. 

Best, 

Jamie
