MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear SQU Families,
We hope you find this information and new format helpful as we continue to move along in what has been a very exciting start to the school year.
Please find some details below on upcoming programs and important dates. We also hope to see everyone on Tuesday, September 27th for our annual open house. See below for more information.
Thank you for supporting Squantum School and please do not hesitate to email me at stephensylvia@quincypublicschools.com with any questions or concerns.
Have a great weekend!
Mr. Sylvia
We need your help - Aspen Contact Cards
Please update and verify that your child’s information is correct on the Student Emergency Contact Cards. The cards were printed with the most recent contact information we have in our database and distributed last week.
Please check the information on both sides of the form as it will be used by the nurse and main office at the school. Your prompt return of this information to your child’s teacher is important as it will help us to accurately update our database and more importantly help us to reach you or a family member in the event of an emergency.
Thanks in advance for your time and attention to this important matter. Please sign and return the student information form to your child’s teacher by Wednesday, September 28th.
Squantum School - BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT 9/27/22
The Squantum School staff would like to invite you to our annual EVENING OPEN HOUSE on Tuesday, September 27th, 2022.
This is a great opportunity to meet your child’s teacher, view their classroom and to learn some details about your child’s schoolwork and homework expectations throughout the course of the school year. Teachers will be available in their classrooms from 5:30 to 7:00 during this night.
We are also pleased to let you know the Scholastic Book Fair will be open during this night as a way to support the school. Squantum PTO members will also be available in the main hallway to share information about the school and various ways to support our students and the school community throughout the school year.

SQU Outdoor Classroom
Special thanks to Frank Sullivan at Skinner Overlook Landscape & Design for once again donating time and resources for cleaning up the outdoor classroom for the opening of school!
Absences
If your child is going to be absent please email your child’s teacher, dawnflibotte@quincypublicschools.com, or call the main office at 617-984-8706 by 8:30. Safety is our top priority, so we will call home if we do not hear from you.
In order for an absence to be considered excused, a written note must accompany the student the first day back in class. The note should include the date returning, child’s name, date absent, and the reason for the absence. Any absence for which the school does not receive appropriate notification will be unexcused.
