Thank You
Thank you to the families who volunteered their time of Saturday to support our first School Preview event. Prospective families truly appreciated hearing about your personal experiences.
School Previews
We are looking for family volunteers to support our upcoming School Previews. These are building tours for prospective families and Curley families help to lead and share information from a parent’s point of view. All families are welcome to participate and no prior experience is necessary (we will partner you up with others). The preview dates will take place on Friday, December 9th from 9am-10am, Friday, January 13th from 9am-1pm and Monday, December 23rd from 3pm-4pm. Please email Arusha Hollister (arusha_h@yahoo.com) if you Doodle Poll: Doodle: Curley Preview Tours
Curley Winter Gear Update
A big thank you to all those who have donated winter gear so far! It is much appreciated and being sent home with students every day. We still need more (coats, hats, mittens/gloves, boots, etc), especially as the days get colder. We can use all sizes, from 3t – adult. Donation boxes can be found in both the upper and lower school lobbies. If your child is in need of winter gear, please let his/her teacher know. Thanks for helping keep Curley kids warm this winter!
Health and Wellness
Please join us for our December meeting on Tuesday, December 6th from 7:30am-8:15am in room 203 Upper School. We will be finalizing our new policy on celebrations at school that will take effect in January 2017.
Annual Holiday Shopping Night: FRIDAY, December 16th!
This is a fun event that helps our school raise money, supports our local stores, and creates a great sense of community. You buy your Christmas and Hanukkah gifts and the stores donate a percentage of sales to the Curley. Win-Win! This year, we are having the event on a Friday so people don’t need to rush home to get kids to bed or can combine it with a date night! Stay tuned for a full list of stores and the exact timeframe (most likely 3pm-8pm). If you have questions, please email or call Leah Barcan: lbarcan@gmail.com/617-599-0592.
K-5 End of Term 1
Marks close for all students in K-5 on Friday, December 2nd. Report cards will go out to families the week of December 12th.

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 ideas or questions please reach out to our two parent ELT representatives Jess Curran (jessicacurran@ymail.com) and Ann DeGeorge (ann.c.degeorge@gmail.com).
Race Dialogues
Thank you to all the families and staff who came out for our first session. We have 2 remaining sessions from 5:30pm-7:30pm on 12/8 and 12/15. Dinner, daycare and translation are all available. Please email any questions to Sean Guthrie (sguthrie@bostonpublicschools.org).
