This week we will be in the 80+ days of school. My calculations were off last week, but I believe Wednesday will be DAY 87 (grades 1-4) and DAY 82 for Kindergarten. Let's see that 80s gear and have some fun!

It is our hope to get the students outside as much as possible for recess. As long as the weather is 25 degrees (including the wind chill) and there is no rain, students will be going outdoors. Please be sure to send your children to school with the clothing they need to be outdoors (coats, hats, mittens).

We will be having our PTO meeting on Wednesday, January 18th at 6:30PM. Come on out and hear what is happening in our school community.

For any families who have a student who rides a minibus, we want to remind you that you should be escorting your child onto the bus and buckling them in. Drivers are not responsible for buckling students on the way into school. Teachers are sure to buckle students upon dismissal. Thank you for your attention to this.

Check out what has been happening in 4th grade!

Please keep in mind the upcoming MCAS dates for grades 3 and 4. We ask that you make ALL efforts to have your students in school on time on these dates. This means avoiding scheduling appointments, trips, etc. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out.

Grade 3 and 4 MCAS Dates:

• April 3rd, 4th - Grade 4 ELA
• April 5th, 6th - Grade 3 ELA

• May 8th, 9th - Grade 4 Math
• May 10th, 11th - Grade 3 Math

We all like a little spotlight once in a while.... If you or your child would like to spotlight a staff member, please fill out this form. Your comments will be shared with the staff to brighten their spirits by showing them just how much they mean to you.
