This week’s Paw Prints from Principal Katie Grassa:
- End of Quarter 2 (6th-8th grade): The second quarter closed on Friday, January 21st and report cards will be sent home within two weeks.
- School Choice Forms: 6th and 8th grade parents – CHECK BACKPACKS! We received the Exam School Choice form from BPS, and Sue Trotz handed them out on Tuesday, January 21st, and needs them back to the Curley by February 5th. For parents of 8th graders, all applications to pilot and special schools have continuously been distributed since Thanksgiving. We have not received the official high school choice forms yet but will notify families as soon as we do receive them.
High School Choice forms were distributed on Tuesday, January 28th to our 8th grade students. Again, CHECK BACKPACKS! Please review your options as a family together, number your choices and make sure all special applications and recommendations are completed for high schools that require these processes. We look forward to helping our students through this transition.
- Snow: Families we are asking that you keep your children off the lawn and away from the snow during arrival and dismissal each day. This will assure the safety of all students as they enter and exit the building during these slippery winter months. We appreciate your support in holding all Curley Community Members accountable to this as well.
- School Parent Council: Please note, the February SPC meeting originally scheduled for this coming Wednesday has been postponed until Wednesday, February 12th from 6pm-8pm in the Lower School Cafeteria. Childcare will be provided.
- Support the Curley K-8: There are several more opportunities for families to help support the Curley K-8 School.
- We have only 28 days to go to finish our fundraising for the school playing field. If we do not meet this deadline the building of the playing field will be delayed for an entire year. Please help us to meet our goal so that the start of SY2014-2015 we will have a brand new playing field. For more information about the field and fundraising campaign, visit playingfield.curleyk8.com.
- We also have three Curley representatives running the 2014 Boston Marathon! The first, parent Dan Barcan, is running to support the playing field, if you are interested in donating to his race please visit dbboston2014.squarespace.com.
- The second, Alisa Ferro, Curley 6th grade ELA teacher, is also running the Boston Marathon to raise money for Tenacity. Tenacity is a FREE afterschool program for our middle school students that focus on literacy and tennis. Ms. Ferro’s fundraising efforts will help us to continue this program in the upcoming years.
