A message from the Principal
Dear Families,
During the upcoming winter break (December 23- January 3), we hope the days off will be restful and joyful. We are grateful to everyone for helping to restore a routine for showing up to school when school resumes on January 6th.
We appreciate everyone's efforts to avoid taking extra time off and we want to remind you to send your child to school as long as your child is healthy.
Everyday of school is an important opportunity for students to develop personally, socially and academically.
We want to thank our students and their families who do their best to show up daily to school even when it isn't easy.
We thank our teachers and support staff who go above and beyond to make school a welcoming and safe place for all students to learn.
We thank our administrators who help us work together to ensure we create a safe and engaging learning environment.
We thank our many volunteers and PTO members who provide the extra help and resources to give the students the support they need.
We appreciate each one of you. May this holiday season bring you joy.
If your family or your child needs support, reach out to our administrators or our counselors.
We look forward to seeing you again when school resumes on January 6th.
Sincerely,
Ruby C. Maestas

Kerry Champignie's goals:
Student Success: Helping all students reach their full potential academically, socially, and emotionally.
Creating a Positive Learning Environment: Building a classroom culture that fosters inclusivity, respect, and collaboration.
Continuous Learning: Staying updated on best practices in education and expanding my knowledge through professional development.
Making a Difference: Leaving a lasting, positive impact on students’ lives beyond academics.
My greatest accomplishment is being a mother. Seeing my children, Cole and Kelsey, grow into kind, confident, and independent people is a profound achievement. I am so proud of both of my children!
What motivates me is witnessing the "aha!" moments when my students grasp a concept or develop new skills. Seeing students grow, overcome challenges, and achieve their potential is deeply fulfilling to me.
Some of my favorite things are: being with my family and friends, crafting, pizza, and of course teaching my wonderful 4th grade students!
Teaching is the one profession that creates all other professions.– Unknown
STAFF MEMBER OF THE MONTH - MRS. RAMSEY
My goal is to make a positive difference in my students lives.
My greatest accomplishment is being the best mom I can be to my three children.
My children and students motivate and push me to never give up when presented with challenges and to embrace new experiences.
Some of my favorite things are making memories and traditions with my family, hiking, shopping, soft cozy blankets, coloring and teaching.
Wherever you are, whatever you do make sure you put your whole heart into it and that it brings some happiness to your life.
COLD WEATHER has arrived…remember to send your child in with layers, including hats, gloves, scarves and a winter coat. We make every effort to ensure we get the students outdoors for recess, unless of course it's raining or other weather that prevents us from doing so. If your student is not ready for the cold weather by dressing appropriately, he/she will need to sit in the office during recess.
Thursday, 12/19/24 is Fan Day! Staff and students are welcomed to wear your favorite sports team t-shirt or gear. Whether you are a fan of the Patriots, Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox, Coyotes, Crusaders, the list goes on...we aim to make fan days easier for the kids to join in.

This year's Attendance Theme is Be Present Be Powerful: As parents and caregivers, we all want to give our children the best possible chance at a happy, healthy, successful future. One way to do that? Get them to school as often as possible! Being here in person helps them develop in so many ways. Plus, they’re able to connect with friends and adults, collaborate and problem-solve, think critically, be creative, and engage in hands-on learning.
