Principal's Post
Week of September 27 - October 1, 2021
Dear Angell Community,
As a neighborhood school we encourage our families to walk whenever possible in order to avoid traffic congestion. We also encourage families that must drive to please adhere to the following process:
- STOP
- KISS
- DROP and
- ROLL
Parking on a neighboring street or the designated cutouts on Wiltshire and Beverly and walking the remaining distance to school is also a good option. However, do not park on the streets surrounding the school (Bacon, Beverly, Wiltshire and Cummings). At no time should a car be unoccupied on these streets. Our public safety officers will issue tickets.
Also, the staff parking lot is not for drop-off or short term parking area. Furthermore, please do not walk students through the parking lot at anytime. Use the sidewalk located between the parking lot and tennis courts to provide a safe means from one side of the school to the other. The quickest route is not always the safest route.
Please use all crossing areas rather than cutting across the street. Our 5th grade safety patrol, Mr. Burke, our crossing guard, and Berkley Public Safety have all been trained to provide safe crossing paths for our students.
I am asking everyone to please take the extra time and care to keep all of our students and staff safe. We do not want any careless accidents or injuries or worse to motivate people to change behaviors. It might take a few more minutes but the extra time is worth the effort. Together we can make the drop-off and pick-up a safe and enjoyable time for all. Your cooperation is expected and appreciated.

2nd Step Social Emotional Learning Curriculum
- Skills for Learning
- Empathy
- Emotion Management
- Friendship Skills and Problem Solving
Each unit has specific lessons to target skills needed to be successful learners. The picture below outlines the big ideas that students will learn in the first unit. We are using a 4 card cueing system across the building to build consistency from classroom to classroom and grade to grade to help students understand what it looks like to be a prepared and active listener. Please feel free to use the same approach at home.
TIME MATTERS
I want to remind everyone that we get right to work each day and making sure students are on time for school matters. Our first bell rings at 8:00 am with instruction beginning at 8:05 am. To ensure your child starts the the day on time we recommend arriving to school prior to 8:00 am and allow your children to line up with their classmates. Arriving at 7:50 am is a good target time.
We appreciate your cooperation. A timely start is the first step in having a great day!
If you prefer to have your child eat lunch at home please fill out the weekly Eat at Home Request Form below.
