How to Reset Your Email Password

2 Comments

The Williston Northampton School email system has been upgraded and students must use a temporary password to access their new accounts.

The IT department has assigned a temporary password to each student. Your temporary password is your WillyNet password followed by Wns1.

For example: if your WillyNet password is:
ABC123
Your temporary email password is:
ABC123Wns1

To access the new email system, please visit http://mail.office365.com

Once there you will be asked for your “old password” (which is the temporary password) and then will be able to create a new password. Your username is your email address.

If you have any questions or problems please contact the Technology Department (413) 529-3338 or email passwordreset@williston.com with your name and email address.

8th Grade Shakespeare Project- TONIGHT!

Leave a comment

The class of 2017 Proudly Presents

A Midsummer Night’s Dream
By William Shakespeare
TONIGHT in the Williston Theatre at 7pm.

Come see the culmination of the 8th grade Shakespeare Project! Every student in the class of 2017 contributed to making the play to life.

The play, one of Shakespeare’s most beloved, revolves around the marriage of the Duke of Athens to the Queen of the Amazons, the adventures of four young lovers in the woods outside Athens, and a group of amateur actors rehearsing a play for the Duke’s wedding. They all do the best they can but it gets difficult when a band of fairies decides to wreak havoc on the lives of the humans.

Tickets for the performance are free. Please make sure to reserve seats for the show at wnsboxoffice.tixato.com/buy

Be sure not to miss out on this terrific show- Williston’s very first 8th grade play. We look forward to seeing you there!

Special Speaker: Friday April 26th

Leave a comment

Hello All,

In case you missed it in assembly this morning, we are hosting Lesléa Newman on campus this Friday April 2th at 6:15.

Lesléa Newman is an acclaimed author and activist who rose to prominence when she wrote Heather Has Two Mommies, published in 1988. The book was the first to document same-sex parents in a positive light. Scheduled to speak at the University of Wyoming in conjunction with Pride Week in 1998, Ms. Newman arrived on campus the day Matthew Shepard died. She recently published October Mourning, a book of poetry for young people in response to Matthew’s death. As a member of the Matthew Shepard Foundation’s Speaker’s Bureau, Ms. Newman speaks at schools and universities all over the country.

We are thrilled to have her speak to us before the show on Friday night. She will be reading from her book and talking about her experience in Laramie in 1998 . The event is free and will be held in the theatre. Please reserve a spot for the event at www.williston.com/theaterproductions.

I encourage all community members to come out to support this terrific event- we are very lucky to have her on campus with us. Please let your students know and encourage them to come as well. Her talk will link well with so much of what we are teaching- writing, social justice, community activism- so no doubt there are many classroom connections to be made here as well.

For more info about Ms. Newman, please visit her website www.lesleanewman.com

Many thanks for your support!

Here’s a cool quote relating to Earth day:
“When the last fish has been caught,
When the last tree has been chopped down,
Then you will know that money cannot be eaten.”
-Cree Nation
