New Information
IMPORTANT CHANGE: We are making some slight adjustments to our carline based on some recent feedback and suggestions. We hope this makes your morning and afternoon commute easier. Please read and help us implement these starting Monday, Jan 23rd. The link to the full details is below. As always, our top priority is your children's safety!
Safety Dads for 2nd semester
We love having dads or other male figures support our morning safety procedures by being a presence outside and opening doors as students arrive. If you would like to sign up, click this link and choose a day. If another day works better for you, just email Mrs. Bewley.
Please bring your ID so we can scan it and print you a badge on your assigned day.
Staff Appreciation (New Slots available)
Sign-up dates have been added for second semester. We use this as an opportunity to provide snacks and drinks for staff during the work week. Many of you have supported us in this way in the years past and it has continued to be a fun addition to our week at school. You can send items or just money and we will take care of it for you. If you'd like to sign up for the 2nd semester, click the link here. As always, we appreciate your support so much!
Save the earth and help Shaw (Clear items like milk cartons do not work- see below)
We are collecting #2 recyclables in collaboration with Boston Mountain Solid Waste. If we can collect 2000 items by Spring Break, we will receive a new bench for our playground made from recycled materials. See the image below of items we are collecting! Look for the #2 on the bottom!
