This week’s Paw Prints from Principal Katie Grassa:

• Picture Day: School pictures will be taken on October 27th (K-5) & 28th (6-8). Please be sure to send your child with the forms and money this week if you wish to purchase any photos. Click here to print your order forms in advance (K-5 here, 6-8 here) and contact Mr. Diaz with any questions ddiaz@bostonpublicschools.org.
• Halloween: The Curley K-8 will not have a Halloween celebration during the school day. As a community we are focused on health and wellness and therefore we ask that all candy remain at home. We are also asking that students leave all costumes, masks and face paint at home as well. Thank you in advance for your support around this matter.
• ANet: Students in grades 3-8 just completed their first rounds of assessments online in both ELA and Math. Students worked very hard and we are proud of their efforts. Teachers will use the data to plan for further instruction.
• Health & Wellness: Please join us for our next Health and Wellness Meeting on Tuesday, November 3rd from 7:30am-8:30am in room 208.
• Principal Breakfast: Please join us for our next Principal Breakfast on Friday, November 6th from 8:45am-9:45am. We will be focusing on school safety and we will have district representation to lead us in a discussion around Safe Mode.
• Movie Night: PACE will be hosting a Family Movie Night on Tuesday, November 10th from 5pm-7pm in the Curley auditorium. (There is no school on Wednesday in observance of Veteran’s Day.) All proceeds will go towards field trips for students on the Autism Spectrum. These trips will provide important social and community experiences for students. Tickets will be $3 a person and will include the movie ticket, popcorn and water. All students must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the event. Please email Ms. Mitchell with any further questions at kmitchell@bostonpublicschools.org.
• Curley Shares: We concluded our first round of shares this past week. Be sure to check in with your child about the assembly.
• Lost and Found: A lost and found bin has been established outside of the nurse’s office. If your child has lost or misplaced an item please have them check the bin. Starting in November the bin will be emptied on the first of the month. Unclaimed items will be donated to Good Will or washed and kept in the Nurse’s Office as extra clothing for Curley students. Thanks in advance for your support!
• Arrival and Dismissal: Please keep in mind that the doors open at 8:15am and the official school day begins promptly at 8:30am. Please make sure to have your child arrive on time for the start of the day. Dismissal begins at 2:25pm. We are asking all families to remain outside at dismissal. We are also asking families to not release students after 1:45pm. It makes for a hectic dismissal and is disruptive to classroom learning.
