Bake Sale Shout Out!
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you to the SPC (School Parent Council) all the Families, the Curley staff, and Teachers for helping us make the Election Day Bake Sale a big success. The outrageously delicious baked goods and hot apple cider were greatly appreciated by the Jamaica Plain community. It was a lot of fun and together we raised over $2000 for Curley Arts, Music, Science, and Programing. Everyone’s help and support made this enjoyable event a super hit. Thank you!

We will have a break during Thanksgiving that will start with an early release on Wednesday, November 23rd at 12:30pm and no school on Thursday or Friday November 24th-25th.

ELT
BPS is returning to the idea of expanding the school day for our students in K-8. We will be adding 40 minutes to our day for school year 2017-2018. At this time we are in the planning phase and we do not have any information about school hours. We will update families as soon as we have concrete information. In the meantime, if you have any idea or questions please reach out to our two parent ELT representatives Jess Curran (jessicacurran@ymail.com) and Ann DeGeorge (ann.c.degeorge@gmail.com>
