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!

Sibling Walkers Line
Starting Monday, September 26, 2016 Elaine Cronin will meet sibling walkers at the glass case located on the first floor in the lower school.  Please send her (ecronin2@bostonpublicschools.org) the names of the students who will be meeting their K1, K2 and first grade siblings. The K1, K2 and grade 1 students should continue to go out with their grade levels. Parents will be able to meet their children from Pershing Rd. pick-up locations. This option is only for children who have a sibling being dismissed as walkers from the lower school. They will then proceed out the front door and stand against the wall to the left.

BPS is looking to hear from various communities regarding the 10-Year Educational and Facilities Master Plan. There will be a Open House for communities on October 29th-30th from 9am-5pm at the Bruce C. Bolling Building. Click HERE for more information.

Free Healthy Snacks
Congratulations!

Visitor Sign In
We have a new visitor sign in procedure in each main office. All visitors should sign in with our secretaries and they will receive a Curley identification badge to wear. Please support us in keep our school safe for all students by signing in.

Labeling Student Belongings
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.
