We have a conference phone;
The Conference phone that we have is tied to our phone system and acts like a normal school phone. Parties connect to the number 413-529-3500 (password 2864).
I value the dialogue that we have had and will have and I think it will enrich the diversity programs in our community. Thank you for your time.

To prepare for the upcoming Willy-lympics II, the creators asked students all around campus to take a mini-challenge with pair of glasses and a tiny basket.
Join Willy-Lympics by sending team submissions to Cade Zawacki at cazawacki@williston.com. The deadline for submissions is March 1.
The Community Service Club is hosting a blanket drive on campus and in surrounding towns to benefit homeless individuals that do not receive placement in local homeless shelters. There will be blanket collection boxes on the first floor of the Schoolhouse, in the Campus Store, and in the Middle School.
The drive is running now through February 22nd, and both new and gently used blankets will be accepted. During these cold winter months, one blanket can truly change a life so please consider donating!
An article in the Daily Hampshire Gazette on Wednesday, January 30 recognized Williston’s girls soccer team for their support of the Autry family. The article, entitled “When a family from Oklahoma lost their mom, Williston Northampton students took action,” notes that students and faculty raised $1,407 through bracelet sales, a bake sale, a raffle and “Pink on the Pitch” in memory of Vicki Autry. The money was donated to the VNA & Hospice of Cooley Dickinson in Autry’s memory.
Eddie Autry, Vicki Autry’s husband, told the newspaper that “the effort seemed typical for a school community that enveloped his children in their struggles. ‘I was excited, but it didn’t surprise me, because that is just the way they are at Williston, so generous,’ he said.”
The article also notes that Priscilla Ross, director of development at the VNA & Hospice of Cooley Dickinson, “described how great it was to receive the phone call about the donation. She said she admires the team members for working so hard to support an organization that gives end-of-life services because it is such a difficult topic for people to approach.”

This morning the Middle School cancelled classes for its students due to the weather. However, the Upper School very rarely closes and will continue with its academic day.
This disparity is because we are a boarding school, and like a residential college, we stay open given that the majority of our students and many of our faculty live on campus. That said, we understand that the weather makes driving challenging, and perhaps dangerous, for some of our day students.
Although we are not closing the Upper School and classes will continue today, I encourage you to use your best judgment in deciding to get your child to campus. If you feel the driving conditions are unsafe, I encourage you to wait until you feel more comfortable traveling.
Our faculty understand that weather in New England means that some days our day students will be late or be unable to attend classes. Students who miss one or all of their classes will, as always, get the help they need from their teachers to make up any missed work. Often, teachers adjust the day’s assignment depending upon class attendance. If you decide to wait to bring your child or decide he or she should stay home today, please contact the school so that we know he or she will be out. That number is (413) 529-3000.
Student safety—and that our community—is always a priority, and we’re grateful for your help in challenging weather situations.
Sincerely,
Kathy Noble
Dean of Students
