Dear Parent/Caregiver,
Greetings from the Wachusett Regional School District (WRSD), and welcome to another academic school year. We will be instructing your child in the subject of physical education in grades kindergarten to 8!
Collectively, our staff (consisting of 12 professionals across 5 towns) has over 225 years of teaching experience! We have an extreme dedication and passion for the field of physical education. We are regularly active in professional development, as well as physical activity. In addition to teaching, we have served roles in administration, coaching/training, refereeing, and a coordinating many before/afterschool and summer programing. We have attended and presented at annual physical education conferences to stay abreast of the most up-to-date developments in the field. It is our hope to continue development both at a professional and instructional level, and provide WRSD students with the best physical education experience as possible!
We anticipate a school year full of learning, activity, and most importantly, fun! If at any time you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us at (508) 829-1670.
