Stimson Spotlights

Side view wildcat
As we walk the halls, it is impossible not to notice the sheer talent, kindness, and hard work our students are putting into everything they do. From insightful classroom discussions to helping a peer in the hallway, our students are truly the heart of this community, and they are doing a fantastic job.

We are constantly impressed by the resilience and creativity our students show. Whether they are tackling a complex science lab, mastering a new language, or showing sportsmanship on the field, the Stimson Spirit is at an all-time high. We want to take a moment to celebrate their growth - not just as learners, but as wonderful young citizens. Keep up the amazing work.

As we move into the final stretch of April, we are preparing for the NYS Math Assessment. These assessments are a great opportunity for our students to showcase the progress they have made this year. The assessments are scheduled for Tuesday, April 28th and Wednesday, April 29th. To help your child succeed, please ensure they get a good night’s sleep, eat a healthy breakfast, and arrive at school on time and ready to do their best.

The sound of music is filling our hallways as our talented musicians prepare for the Spring Concerts coming up in May. Our ensembles have been practicing tirelessly to perfect their repertoire. We cannot wait to welcome families to the WWHS PAC to experience the results of their hard work.

Important Information for Families

Cell Phone Policy Updates

Stimson students may not use their cell phones during the school day. Students MUST secure their phones in their lockers at the start of the school day where it will be stored until dismissal. We will be communicating this to students regularly throughout the month of September. As of October 1st, any student found with their cell phone during the school day will have their phone taken and held until a parent or guardian can pick it up from school. Additional instances will result in detention.
