Welcome back to Widmyer!! Thank you to the Berkeley Springs High School Girl's Softball team for helping us greet the students back to their final stretch of school. We're ready to play ball!

Parents are asked to complete an online survey about school climate—the learning and teaching/working conditions—to help guide school improvement efforts. The results of this survey will be used to make changes in your child's school to ensure a supportive environment for teaching and learning. The survey may be completed from any computer with an internet connection.
Parent participation in the survey is very important. If parents have questions about the survey or problems completing the survey, they should contact their child's school. To protect parent/caregiver confidentiality, at least 10 parents must take the survey for results to be summarized for your school.
When parents log onto the survey, they will see explanatory information about the survey and the important information below as to their rights as a survey participant:
Your participation is voluntary. You may choose not to participate; not to answer any questions you do not want to answer; and you may stop participating at any time during the survey without penalty. Your responses will be anonymous and confidential.
Parents can access the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WVSLES_P_S23
Parent login code: P058207

Today was another amazing day with our new favorite Author/Illustrator. Infinite thanks, Ashley Belote. The students, faculty & staff thoroughly enjoyed your visit.
Mark your calendars! We are getting ready to enroll students for the 23-24 school year. Pre-K students must be 4 years old prior to July 1, 2023. Kindergarten students must be 5 prior to July 1, 2023.
Today's assemblies were beyond spectacular. We were joined by Ashley Balote, a West Virginia native author/illustrator. She shared her book and illustrations with all of our students, gave them each an autographed copy of the book and went to many classrooms to provide art lessons. The classrooms that did not have art lessons today will be able to enjoy them tomorrow.
We kicked off 'Read Across America' week with Story Teller, Adam Booth! He came from Shepherdstown to share his tales of Appalachia.
