We're looking forward to seeing all of our Cohort A students in-Person next Wednesday, March 24th. Dismissal is same time as all year. Cohort B students will be the following Wednesday. Our dismissal time is the same time until April 5th.

March has been an exciting month for the Arts in Chelmsford. Massachusetts celebrates "Youth Art Month" and 11 of our Byam students have been honored by having their work appear virtually in district and statewide art shows. Please take a moment to celebrate the achievements of these artists, and ALL the artists at Byam this year! 🎨
