Notables From Nixon
Dear Families,
Arrival and Dismissal - Car Drop Off/Pick Up
This has been very successful and working like clock-work. Thank you for adhering to the guidelines for safety. We will continue with our process!
Walkers/Bikers
There are many walkers and bikers for our afternoon dismissal. This large number of students offers challenge during dismissal. We will release walkers and bikers last after all cars have left the campus to keep safety first. If you are parking in a lot off campus, this does not designate you as a walker for pick up. Walkers and bikers are to be able to walk or bike to and from their home.
The car dismissal and arrival, from start to finish, takes approximately 11 to 15 minutes. This is less wait-time than the dismissal for walkers and bikers. Please choose car dismissal on campus if you are parking in adjacent parking lots and greeting your children.
Enjoy the weekend, it has been a full week! We look forward to seeing you on Monday.
Sincerely,
Susan Woods
Principal

Dear Nixon Families,
Please find below the specific schedule for the upcoming MCAS tests. These are the exact dates your children will be taking the exam. Please encourage your child to get sufficient rest the night before any tests, to eat breakfast, and to extend their best effort. Children should also be encouraged to bring a small water bottle to school; hydration is a key to concentration. It is imperative that all children be in school during testing. Please try to avoid any appointments or trips that will prevent your child from attending school. As of the drafting of this letter, we have not received guidance from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education in how we will test remote students. More information will be forthcoming.
Information on the 2021 MCAS test requirements can be found here.
Grade 3 MCAS ELA May 13th Grade 3 MCAS Math May 20th Grade 4 MCAS ELA May 11th Grade 4 MCAS Math May 18th Grade 5 MCAS ELA May 10th Grade 5 MCAS Math May 17th Grade 5 MCAS Science May 24th
Thank you in advance for your support and encouragement during the testing.
Sincerely,
Beth Murray
Assistant Principal
Thank You To Our AMAZING PTO!
April Break Pooled Testing
Wednesday, April 21, 2021
8:30-11:30 AM
Curtis Middle School, 22 Pratts Mill Road, Sudbury
Sudbury Public Schools and the Sudbury Board of Health invite SPS students and staff to participate in pooled testing. Drive through testing will be supervised by trained observers. Students in grades 2-8 will self administer the test. Parents or caregivers will administer the test to students in PK-grade 1. Administration is easy and quick, as demonstrated by this video.
If you are interested in participating in the April break pooled testing, please complete this linked authorization form. The form will prompt you to print your response and bring it with you on the day of testing. The information collected will be used for contact tracing should a positive pool be identified. Please note, that a separate form is required for each testing participant, regardless of whether prior permission has been granted at the school level.
More information about SPS COVID-19 protocols and reopening is available on the district website.
