 From the Superintendent's Desk:
The Superintendent Open House gatherings will reconvene in November. I welcome you to join me for relaxed and open conversations. This is a time for us to meet to share information with no set agenda.
To accommodate a variety of schedules, we have alternated the schedule between morning and evening Open Houses. Mornings sessions will begin at 9:30 AM and evening gatherings will begin at 7:00 PM. Please refer to the schedule below.
If necessary, notifications of a schedule change will be communicated via email. Should weather dictate a delayed opening of school, the morning Open House will be canceled, however an evening meeting will take place. In the event of a school cancellation, the morning or evening meeting will be canceled.
Every year I look forward to getting together. I hope that this schedule will allow you to join me.

Dear Staff, Students, Parents/Guardians & Community Members,
I greet you with great enthusiasm for the 2012-2013 school year. There is a wonderful sense of pride and accomplishment that permeates our school system. Over the last several years, our schools have received recognition for educational excellence. We have a very positive and supportive culture throughout our school system that encourages initiative, innovation and collaboration. Our students are being well prepared for the challenges that they will face in the future.
I want to thank the many staff who began preparing their classrooms in early August. Bulletin boards and walls were filled with a variety of stimulating educational materials, and classrooms were transformed into exciting centers of learning. I also want to thank our custodial and maintenance staff for thoroughly cleaning our buildings during the brief summer break. They take great pride in their work and the buildings sparkle. Our school system has a reputation for having some of the cleanest, most well-maintained schools in the Merrimack Valley.
During the first two weeks of the school year, our Assistant Superintendent, Dr. Christine Francis and I will be visiting every classroom and staff member in all schools to wish them a successful and enjoyable year. Once again this year I'm certain that we will see students actively engaged in learning activities on the first day of school. I'm always impressed by how prepared the staff and students are for a new school year.
I want to thank you for your ever-present support. Strong school/home partnerships create excellent school systems. We will settle for nothing less than excellence and I look forward to continuing to work with you and our staff to bring continuous improvement to Westford Public Schools.
Sincerely,
Everett V. Olsen, Jr.
Superintendent of Schools
