Academy Avenue Elementary School

Dear Academy Families and Friends,

Thank you to all of the families that joined us this past week for Parent Teacher Conferences. It was great to see so many faces. I would also like to thank families for donating to our school's food drive to support the Weymouth Food Pantry. Tomorrow is the last day for donations. We truly appreciate all the support! We are also happy to announce kicking of the PJ drive. Flyers will be coming home for the items we need.

Let's have a great (short) week,

Mr. Patrick J. Higgins

Principal

PS-Don't forget-Wednesday is an early dismissal day (11:50AM). No PM Champions!

As part of Weymouth Public Schools' strategic planning, we need your help in creating a shared vision for Inclusive Practices - one that truly reflects who we are as a district and what we value as a community. This vision will paint a clear picture of what inclusion looks and feels like in our schools: where every student, staff member, and family feels welcomed, respected, and supported. Together we will define what it means to belong in our district and ensure that every classroom and school reflects that commitment.

Your feedback here will help us understand how welcomed, respected, and supported everyone feels in our school community. Your responses are confidential and will guide us in our work. There are 7 questions estimated to take no more than 10 minutes.

Take the survey: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdO5F1ESMj6Km_VVLzz8lJJOu1sLN1N-P6HfS-uP_6cCiP5LQ/viewform
