Weymouth Early Childhood Center

Good Morning,

We’ve officially wrapped up our second week. From learning classroom routines to making new friends and exploring through play, it’s been a joy watching the students grow more confident each day. One of the most exciting milestones we’ve seen is how many students are now walking through the front doors all by themselves and lining up with their teachers independently—what incredible progress in just two weeks! Thank you for your continued support and for sharing your amazing children with us—we're looking forward to even more fun and learning ahead!

WECC staff and students came together on Wednesday to honor Mrs. Doyle, PT, with a heartfelt retirement send-off. As one of our longtime Super Friends, Mrs. Doyle has made a lasting impact on our community. We wish her all the best as she embarks on this exciting new chapter of retirement!

Have a great Sunday!

Mrs. Perez

The first weeks of school are critical for establishing daily schedules, routines, and—most importantly—safety protocols. During this time, staff have been actively teaching students about our fire drill procedures and other key safety practices.

As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety and emotional well-being, we incorporate two important books into our monthly safety lessons: The Ant Hill Disaster and The Elephant in the Room.

Here’s a brief synopsis of each:

The Ant Hill Disaster by Julia Cook
This story follows a young ant who is scared to return to school after it is destroyed in a disaster. Through the narrative, students learn how to cope with fear, develop resilience, and feel safe returning to school after a traumatic event.
The Elephant in the Room
This book helps children process and talk about difficult or confusing feelings that may arise from challenging situations, emphasizing the importance of communication, empathy, and support within the school community.

By reading and discussing these books regularly, we aim to create a safe and supportive environment where students and staff are prepared.

Upcoming Family Engagement Opportunities

We’re excited to share a variety of upcoming events for families to attend or maybe enjoy together! This list will be updated throughout the school year as new opportunities become available. We hope you'll be able to attend many of the events!

About this Series

The Backpack Connection Series was created by TACSEI to provide a way for teachers and parents/caregivers to work together to help young children develop social emotional skills and reduce challenging behavior.

Each Backpack Connection handout provides information that helps parents stay informed about what their child is learning at school and specific ideas on how to use the strategy or skill at home.
