A reminder that there is No School on Tuesday, November 3rd due to the WPS Staff Workshop Day
Last Friday, WHS students participated in a mock election, gaining hands-on experience with the voting process and exploring how elections work. Opportunities like these help students connect classroom learning to real-world civic engagement and better understand their role in our democracy! #WPSconnects #WHS

Hello, Winthrop High School families. This is Principal Jay Dufour with a few important reminders.
Quarter 1 grades close on Friday, October 30th. Quarter 2 begins Monday, November 2nd, and report cards will be sent home with students no later than Friday, November 13th.
As previously shared in my summer letter, teachers have spent the fall working within their departments to develop common reassessment policies. These new policies take effect November 2nd and are designed to provide greater consistency for students regarding homework, late work, make-up work, assessments, reassessments, and project deadlines.
The policies can be found on our school website at - https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1__hsuMbM3gq-0zCt38r-pOAn_HhOAwwN
Teachers will also share their expectations with students through Google Classroom.
Thank you, and have a great day!

The Winthrop PAC is excited to bring our first fundraising performance of the year to the Winthrop PAC stage. We welcome local Broadway performer, and former Winthrop High School alumni, Scott Moreau, performing his original one man show, "My Life as the Man in Black." The show details his 20 year career traveling the world and performing as Johnny Cash. Scott recounts tales from the road, personal anecdotes, and gets to play some songs he doesn't typically perform in his other shows, such as Folsom Prison Blues, I Walk The Line, Ring Of Fire, A Boy Named Sue, Strawberry Cake, The Man Comes Around and his epitaph, Hurt. We are also excited to welcome Scott to talk with our high school students the day before the show. This show is a fundraiser for our Light Up the Stage Capital Campaign and we hope you will join us for this special event.
The show will be performed on Friday October 9, 2026 at 7pm at the Winthrop PAC, 211 Rambler Rd, Winthrop, ME 04364. Tickets are $20 each, and can be purchased online ahead of time or at the door. All proceeds will directly support our fundraising efforts to replace the PAC lighting system.

There has been a reported widespread electrical outage in Winthrop, including at all three of our schools. Due to not having access to running water, we are doing an early dismissal. Middle and high school students will be sent home immediately, and then the elementary students. Grade school students will be dismissed around two o clock. We apologize for this inconvenience and hope to have power restored by tomorrow.
