Message from Principal Phelan
Dear Families,
The highlights of this week were the return to field trips for Lowell. On Friday, our fifth grade visited WMS to see the production "Matilda Jr." Also happening on Friday, the first grade took a walking field trip to see local sights and businesses. They will use their research in an upcoming writing project.
The long-awaited Equity Audit was presented to the School Committee on Monday night. You can read the report, summary, and recommendations in the Equity Audit Report. Thursday night, our Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging Council met to discuss findings and takeaways for Lowell and WPS. The conversation was rich and thoughtful.
COVID cases were on the rise last week at Lowell West. We will pool test on Monday, and I will communicate the result on Tuesday. If your child is experiencing symptoms, please do all you can by home testing them and ensuring they don't come to school. Masks are required until Tuesday. We will decide based on our metrics to return to mask optional.
We look forward to seeing you during parent-teacher conferences over the next two days. You can expect to receive a progress report during your child's meeting. If you cannot attend a conference, you will receive your student's progress report by email.
Happy Spring!
Stacy
