The Year Ahead for WPS Arts
The Westport Public Schools arts program is a cornerstone of the school's curriculum, given the understanding that music and visual art have a distinct and significant impact on students’ growth and development. The district is following state guidelines regarding the performing arts to ensure a safe learning environment.

We are working on innovative solutions to allow students to share their creativity, talent and achievements.
