Thank you to all the families who came out to support City Year during Red Jacket Weekend!

A special THANK YOU to City Year Boston for being our partners and choosing us for this annual project!

The 10th Annual Curley K-8 Fall Fling
This year our Fall Fling is Friday, October 14th from 5:30 – 8:00PM.
This is a fabulous family event and fundraiser with food, fun activities, a raffle with major prizes and a DJ! Parent volunteers play an essential role in making this a great event for our school community. Please see links below to sign up to volunteer. The money raised goes toward important enrichment programs such as music, art, dance and science for our children.Read the full story HERE!
Keep it Clean, Curley!
Our new school climate campaign will align with Caring About Our School. Thanks to the some Curley Families and the Playing Field Committee we have purchased 7 new trash barrels that are placed around the property. We will be teaching students about the importance of cleaning up litter as well as how to clean up after themselves. More information regarding this initiative will follow in the coming weeks.
Labeling Student Belonging
Please label your child’s clothing, lunch boxes, hats etc… This helps us identify an owner if something is found and saves families from having to buy a new item.
Racism Panel
BPS is hosting a forum titled: Tackling Racism in the Boston Public Schools. This will take place at the Bruce C. Bolling Building from 5:30pm-8pm on Thursday, September 22nd. You can RSVP HERE.
T-Shirt Video
Last year Curley Art teachers in collaboration with our School Climate Team led an art competition to design a new Curley t-shirt for this school year. There were 936 submissions and only one winner! Congrats to Warren Yang in Grade 1 for being chosen and for helping us to create a new school shirt! Watch this video to see the student work submitted by our students and finalists.
A Note From Our Nurses
The Curley K-8 School is lucky to have two full time nurses on staff. Nurse Regan (mregan@bostonpublicschools.org) and Nurse Pumphret (apumphret@bostonpublicschools.org) are here to support our whole community. Welcome to another school year. We hope everyone had a restful and healthy summer. We would like to remind parents to please send a copy of your child’s most recent physical exam and immunizations to school. If your child experienced any health changes over the summer or if your child has been diagnosed with a medical condition that the school nurse’s should be aware of, please call us at 617-635-8239. Also, if your child will require medication in school (including epipens and asthma inhalers), the medication must be brought into school in the original prescription box or bottle with the child’s name on it. We also require a medication order from your child’s pediatrician. The order should be dated for this school year and signed by the physician and parent. I have attached a medication authorization form for your convenience. Our fax number is 617-635-8244.
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 and not to release their child from school after 1:45pm. All arrival and dismissal information is found HERE.
Paw Prints
Each Sunday I will send out the Paw Prints to the website. It is an opportunity to share information with our entire community.
Curley Before and After School Program Welcome
Please contact, Torri Canada, the Director of the Curley Before and After School Program (CASP), for more information. You can also visit CASP’s webpage HERE. A CASP before school application must be on file on the first day of school for your child to attend. If you have not yet submitted a before school application you will be required to do so upon arrival with your child. Students attending CASP afterschool on the first day must have an application on file. Please let your child’s teacher know if they plan to attend CASP.
