Plympton Family Update

From the Plympton Admin Team
Hello, Families!
Our third grade students were treated to a visit from the Mass Audubon Society this week, courtesy of the PTO! Students learned about the differences between amphibians and mammals.
We are very excited about the Wizards game at Kennedy Middle School next Friday. Mr France and Mr. Gary will be representing Pympton Elementary School on the staff team. We'd love to see Plympton students in the stands!
Have a great weekend!
Be kind and go Penguins!
Sincerely,
Adrienne Norris and Amanda Brennan

From the Nurse
New Covid test kits are available from my office. One box per family. Let me know if you would like one sent home with your student. We are still tracking cases of Covid, strep, flu and RSV.
Remember to keep your students home if they were sick during the night, had a fever the night before or have worsening symptoms of a cold, cough and headache.
Be well,
Ms. Duquette, RN 781-314-5763

Plympton Elementary School
When your student's after school dismissal arrangements change, please send a note to your child's homeroom teacher. If you prefer to email, please also include our fabulous secretary, Mrs. Conneely, at meghanconneely@walthampublicschools.org. Mrs. Conneely and Officer Dani double check every bus list every day and cross check with the attendance for the Champion after school program to be certain kids are getting to correct location after school. Please make every effort to communicate any changes as early as possible. Calls after 2:30 slow down our dismissal process.
All student must ride the bus they are assigned. Students may not switch buses.
