This week’s Paw Prints from Principal Katie Grassa:

• End of the Year: The last day of school for ALL students is on Wednesday, June 25th. Also on Tuesday, June 24th and Wednesday, June 25th students will have a ½ day and be dismissed at 12:30pm.
• BPS Transportation: Below is a message from Transportation Director Carl Allen. I strongly recommend that the Curley K-8 community gets involved.
  

  This is a personal plea from me to get your students (grades 5 and up), your staff, your parents — and YOU registered for Community 
PlanIt and taking part in this really important community discussion.
 Register at communityplanit.org/bpsdot. It starts on Monday!!

  This is a great opportunity to use technology, talk
 about civic engagement, train students on responsible use of social media,
 and actually engage in a meaningful way on a policy matter that directly
 impacts THEM! 

I think this community conversation will be a good experience in its
 own right for those that take part — and clearly getting your
 community and kids talking and learning about it is important because
 riding the MBTA is going to be a bigger part of your school’s culture
 and that of BPS as a whole with the changes we’ve made.

  Please help me get folks signed up and in the game!! communityplanit.org/bpsdot

• Thank You: I would personally like to thank all the Curley K-8 families for your continued support as I navigated my first year as a principal.
