This week’s Paw Prints from Principal Katie Grassa:
- Museum of Science Night: Join us on Friday, January 24th from 5:00pm – 7:00pm for the 7th annual Curley night at Museum of Science, sponsored by the Science Team and School Parent Council. Entrance fee is $20 for up to 4 children and 2 adults, and includes admission to exhibit halls, Imax movie: Journey to South Pacific and free parking. If you have questions about this event please contact Ms. Monteiro-Roby.
- School Choice Forms: We received the exam school choice form Friday afternoon. Sue Trotz will hand them out on Tuesday, January 21st and ask for them back to the Curley by January 29th. For parents of 8th graders, all applications to pilot and special schools have continuously been distributed since Thanksgiving. We have not received the official high school choice forms yet but will notify families as soon as we do receive them.
- Snow: Families we are asking that you keep your children off the lawn and away from the snow during arrival and dismissal each day. This will assure the safety of all students as they enter and exit the building during these slippery winter months. We appreciate your support in holding all Curley community members accountable to this as well.
- 6-8 Open House (Parent Conferences): On Thursday, January 30th from 5pm-7pm Curley Lower School staff will offer an evening time for parent conference. Please be sure to schedule a time with your child’s teacher if you have not already had a conference with them this fall.
- Support the Curley K-8: There are several opportunities for families to help support the Curley K-8 School.
- We have less then 40 days to go to finish our fundraising for the school playing field. If we do not meet this deadline the building of the playing field will be delayed for an entire year. Please help us to meet our goal so that the start of SY2014-2015 we will have a brand new playing field. For more information about the field and fundraising campaign, visit playingfield.curleyk8.com.
- We also have three Curley representatives running the 2014 Boston Marathon! The first, parent Dan Barcan, is running to support the playing field, if you are interested in donating to his race please visit dbboston2014.squarespace.com.
- The second, Alisa Ferro, Curley 6th grade ELA teacher, is also running the Boston Marathon to raise money for Tenacity. Tenacity is a FREE afterschool program for our middle school students that focus on literacy and tennis. Ms. Ferro’s fundraising efforts will help us to continue this program in the upcoming years.
