I’m honored to introduce myself as the new Superintendent of Wethersfield Public Schools. I step into this role with a deep commitment to listening, learning, and working together to ensure every student in our district has the opportunity to thrive.As I begin this role, I want to express my deep appreciation for the warm welcome I’ve already received from many members of the community.
To support a smooth and thoughtful leadership transition, I’ve developed a 100-Day Entry Plan that outlines how I will engage with our school community during these early months. The plan focuses on three key goals: learning and listening, building relationships, and planning collaboratively for the future. You can view the full plan on the HERE or by reaching out directly—I hope it gives you a sense of the care and intention I bring to this work.
As part of this initial phase, I’m also asking for your help in completing the WPS Communication Survey. Your feedback will be instrumental as we look to strengthen how we connect with families, staff, and stakeholders across the district.
Wethersfield’s values of empathy, achievement, and equity deeply resonate with me, and I am excited to begin this journey with you. I look forward to visiting every school, learning from your experiences, and laying the groundwork for our shared success—together.
With appreciation,
Jeffrey Wihbey
