Good afternoon,

Two days of exams have come and gone! Two more exam days to go next week on Tuesday and Wednesday. All make-up exams should be completed on Wednesday during the designated make-up time, unless students have communicated with their respective Dean of Students to create an alternative date and time. Thank you.

Next Thursday is our last day of school and it is a half day for student and faculty/staff. Schedules were handed out yesterday in the homeroom advisory blocks. If your student has not shared their 2023-2024 you may want to ask them about their schedule for next year over the long weekend! That is it for today!

Westford Academy Composting recruiting students for 2023-24

Are you a student interested in environmental health and sustainability? We use school food scraps as a resource to make vital compost for our community. Every day after school (20-30 minutes) our team members take turns composting. Once-a-month they work as a team to turn and manage compost piles in our compost bins, located near the running track. Freshmen, sophomores, juniors and seniors are encouraged to apply to join WA’s Compost Team. Seniors must be available to work during Capstone, on through to the end of regular school. Our Compost Team members share exclusive, free access to two green parking spaces at Westford Academy.
