On Monday, individual MCAS results from spring testing will be sent home along with a letter from our Superintendent. Please review them. Though it is only one measure of academic progress, it is an important one. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s results, please let me know.

Our next PTO meeting is Tuesday the 9th, and this is the same day that online and paper orders for our Cookie Dough and More fundraiser are due. Please support this effort if you can. Our After-School Activities and Late Bus service will begin on Tuesday, October 9th. Please remind your children that they must sign-up for both the activity (even if they had to sign up already for limited enrollment clubs previously) and the bus, should they use it, in homeroom the day of the activity. The late bus stops are attached. Please note that they may be different than your child’s regular afternoon stop.

Backpack Alert and Digital Notices: Nothing is going home on paper today. For the digital notices, I have included information from Butler’s Gymnastics, a Walkabout “Fun” Raiser at the Zoo, the After-School Activities Schedule, and information about how to access Teacher Aspen Pages.

Backpack Alert and Digital Notices: Two papers are going home in backpacks. The first is the Picture Day packet with information for the pictures to be taken on Wednesday. You may have received an email from Lifetouch about it already. Ordering can be done online or through the order form distributed today. Also going home is a letter about our Bring Your Own Device program, with a form you need to fill out if you want your child to use their device during the school day. While all the details are in the letter, which is attached here as well, the short story is that if you have a device at home (with a keyboard is strongly preferred) your student can use it at the teacher’s discretion during the school day. Also attached is the agenda for our Curriculum Night and Open House.
