Heshan Berents-Weeramuni

This week’s Paw Prints from Principal Katie Grassa:

  • Congrats: A big shout out to three members of our community for completing the Boston Marathon and raising money for our school and partnerships. Alissa Ferro, 6th grade ELA teacher, Dan Barcan, parent, and Keith Schultz, partner, all finished the Boston Marathon this past Monday! We admire their perseverance and efforts!
  • MCAS: Mark your calendars and remember that you can help your child prepare for MCAS by having them get a good nights sleep, eat a healthy breakfast and arrive to school on time for testing. Grades 3-8 will be taking the math MCAS on Thursday, May 8th and Friday, May 9th and grades 5 & 8 will be taking the science MCAS on Monday, May 12th and Tuesday, May 13th.
  • Grades 6-8 Report Cards: The 3rd quarter grades closed for all students in grades 6-8 on Thursday, April 17th. Report cards will be sent out next week.
  • Families Notice: We are pleased to have so many families bring their child to and from school however, there has been a lot of families staying in the building after arrival and re-entering the building before dismissal starts. We are asking all families to escort their child to class and promptly leave the building by the time announcements begin and in the afternoon families can enter the building at 2:25pm when walkers are called for dismissal. Thank you for your support.
  • 14th Annual Plant Sale: The 14th Annual Plant Sale will take place this Saturday, May 3rd from 10am-2pm in the parking lot across the road from the school on Centre Street. For more information, click here.
  • School Parent Council: May SPC meeting will take place on Wednesday, May 7th from 8:45am-10:45am in the Upper School Library.
  • Interview Help: We are looking for families to volunteer and help interview for our open K2 Inclusion and Grade 1 teaching positions. We will interview for the K2 position on Friday, May 2nd from 3:00pm-6:00pm and the Grade 1 position on Monday, May 5th from 3:00pm-6:00pm.
