Weatherford ISD has named Patti Young as the interim principal at Hall Middle School.
WISD superintendent Dr. Jeffrey Hanks said, “Ms. Young is a proven leader in Weatherford ISD. She brings a wealth of leadership experience and academic knowledge to the Hall Middle School campus.”
Ms. Young holds a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education from Texas Wesleyan University and a Master’s in Educational Administration from Texas Woman’s University. She has held several positions within Weatherford ISD including principal of Bowie and Seguin Elementary campuses, and most recently, Executive Director of Special Programs.
“I am humbled and feel privileged to serve as the Hall Middle School principal for the remainder of this school year,” said Patti Young. “It is an honor to continue the legacy of Shirley Hall who desired a quality education for all students. I look forward to focusing on student success and building positive relationships with HMS students, staff, and families.”
Dear WISD Families, Staff, Students, and Community Members,
When we develop the school calendar, we seek input from our students, employees, parents, and community. As we begin planning for the 2019-2020 school calendar, there are some considerations we want to share with you before asking for your input. To be redirected to the survey, please click on the headline.
State law requires that we provide for a set number of minutes of instruction for students and provide for staff development. Texas law also requires public schools to start the new school year on the fourth Monday of the month and for the 2019-2020 school year, that date would be Monday, August 26th.
However, in 2017, Weatherford ISD was named a District of Innovation (DOI) by the Texas Education Agency. One of the advantages of being a DOI is flexibility in how we design our school calendar. For example, being named a DOI allows Weatherford ISD to start the school year before the last Monday of the month. If we choose an earlier start date, we may be able to include additional student/staff holidays and have the opportunity to add days for staff training throughout the year. Please be aware that if we add any additional student holidays we would likely require an earlier start to the school year or need to push the end of the school year to early June.
We are in the process of developing the school calendar for the 2019-2020 school year. It is important that we receive your feedback in order to build the best calendar for Weatherford ISD.
Please take a few minutes to let us know your preferences for the 2019-2020 school calendar.
Once we receive feedback from all stakeholders, we will create two possible calendars. You will then be given the opportunity to vote on the calendar that you think best meets the needs of our students, staff, and community. This information will be given to the Board of Trustees, who will take your input into consideration when approving a calendar for 2019-2020.
Thank you!
A reminder that Friday, October 5th and Monday, October 8th are student holidays. Classes will resume for students on Tuesday, October 9, 2018.
