This week’s Paw Prints from Principal Katie Grassa:
- Bring a Book – Take a Book: A Summer Reading Book Swap is scheduled for Friday, June 17th! Students will be able to choose a “new to you” book or two from the donated collection, as part of Field Day activities. Over the next few weeks, a visit schedule will be developed, with teacher input. Look for notices in your mailboxes to send home with students, in both English and Spanish.
WE NEED BOOKS!
Flower-covered donation boxes will be located in the upper and lower school lobbies. This is a great opportunity to review classroom libraries and donate gently used books that you no longer need. The deadline for donating books for the book swap is Thursday, June 15th. Please contact Caitlyn Gable (lower school) or Eileen Cronin (upper school) with any questions.
- Excellence for All (EFA): Our next EFA meeting will be this Thursday from 3pm -4pm in room 111 (Upper School). If you haven’t been able to attend a meeting please check out our work on the website www.curleyk8.com and click on the School Info tab and then Excellence for All.
- City Year: We want to thank our City Year Corps for finding a creative way to energize our students for the PARCC exam https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atRcyUT6qTk. All students watched this prior to taking the test. We encourage families to check it out as well. We do not want students to be nervous taking the PARCC exam, we want our students to do their best work and we will all be proud of them. Reminder that grades 5, 7, & 8 are testing this coming week.
- PARCC Information: The PARCC testing window has started for grades 3-8 and we will be testing from April 25th through May 25th. Please check this attached schedule and see which days your child will be testing. It is very important that all students are present on testing days. Please check any appointments (doctors, dentist, etc…) to make sure that your child is present for testing. If you want to learn more about PARCC please visit this site: www.bostonpublicschools.org/PARCC.
