Dear Families,
I hope today’s glimpses of sunshine made ‘springing forward’ a little easier! We may be losing some sleep, but it is worth it if it means inching closer to spring. It is great seeing all of the special ways that our classrooms are celebrating “Read Across America” this month; we know their love of reading will benefit our students throughout their lives. MCAS testing is approaching for Gr. 3-5… our students are well-prepared to ‘show what they know’, and we know they will shine! Below you will find helpful information for the weeks ahead:
- This Tuesday, March 14th is a half-day with dismissal at 11:50 am.
Spring Picture Day will take place on March 28th. Information and ordering details will be sent home soon.
Here is this month’s SEPAC newsletter : March Newsletter, as well as information about the upcoming March SEPAC meeting on March 21st, an informative discussion on “The ABC’s of Discipline”: March Meeting Information

The district-wide ST Math March MATHness Challenge has been full of learning, effort, and fun!

Keep completing those puzzles!
