10/29 School Picture Retakes

10/31 Kindergarten Parade

11/5 No School- Election Day

Next week, we will be having our first fun Fall Byam Spirit theme week!

Kindergarten had a great field trip to Parlee Farm!

Halloween is an exciting time or year for elementary students. Our kindergarteners will be participating in our annual tradition of our Halloween parade for the staff and students at Byam. Our staff will also be having a friendly costume contest where students will be voting. We ask that candy and food items not be sent in to distribute as it is prohibited by our wellness policy.

Dear Chelmsford Community Members,

We’re excited to announce the Pumpkin Palooza, a fun-filled fall festival replacing the Trick-or-Treat Drive-Thru! Join us on Sunday, November 3rd, from 2 to 4 p.m. on the Chelmsford High School plateau for an afternoon of community involvement and festive activities. This event is free of charge, and we encourage everyone to come in costumes! The Pumpkin Palooza will feature various clubs from the high school, each hosting their own exciting fall-themed activities for all to enjoy. In the spirit of giving back, we’re collecting donations of canned and non-perishable goods to support the Chelmsford Food Pantry, as well as monetary donations to the Paul Center.

Let’s come together as a community to celebrate fall and support our local organizations. We can't wait to see you there!

Regards,

Chelmsford High School LIME

Families:

This is a friendly reminder to please monitor your child for head lice. The following information is helpful to keep in mind about head lice:

Head lice can happen to anyone. It is not a sign of poor hygiene habits or of being dirty. Even though they do not jump or fly, lice can spread from one student to another by sharing combs, brushes, clothing, and hats.

Please do your part to prevent the spread of this communicable condition by checking your child(ren) on a regular basis. Lice infestation is much easier to treat if caught early. If you should discover a case of head lice, please notify the health office, as well as the parents of your child’s close contacts. This is the best way to protect your family and community.
