• 7th Grade Trip To Boston Public Market: On Friday October 30th, 40 wonderful 7th graders their teachers Ms. Prieto, Ms. Amy-Moreno and Ms. Ennis to the Boston Public Market. Our thanks to parent Donald Wiest for his generous support. These young learners were able to taste the many flavors at the Boston Public Market, learn about nutrition as well as sampling locally sourced foods. It was a wonderful trip.
  
• 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.
