Nash Sunday Smores

Hello Nash Families,

I hope everyone had a wonderful long weekend, enjoying quality time with family and friends. It was great to see so many of you at the parent-teacher conferences, celebrating the growth of our Nash students throughout the year. Tomorrow marks the beginning of MCAS testing, so please encourage your child to give their best effort—that's all we ask. A good night's rest and a hearty breakfast will help them start the day right. Just a quick reminder that Tuesday will be a half day, with school dismissing at 11:50 AM. Wishing you all a pleasant evening!

Mrs. McDevitt

The Playground is open.

Please read this important note regarding the playground:

Consistency is so important for our students that we find it important to share with you our playground expectations that we provide to the students during the school day.

We hope this carries over to after school and beyond:

Everyone plays – Every game is open to whoever wants to play as long as those playing are being safe, respectful and responsible during the game. Including others are expected behaviors.

Play safe – Students must play so that they and others are not physically or emotionally hurt. Students must avoid rough play, unsafe play, and name-calling. Examples of unsafe play include jumping from the top of the play structure or sliding into someone still on or near the end of the slide

Be Respectful- Students will listen and follow directions. They will be kind and provide other students an opportunity to use the play structure. Keep hands and feet to themselves.

Have fun and enjoy!

Snack Time

We are advising that students bring one snack for snack time and save the larger portions for the main meals throughout their day. We know how hard it is for them to pick their favorite snack but they are doing a great job.

Thank you for all your help with this.

Backpack Program

To ensure students have access to

food over the weekend...

Teachers and staff will pack a food bag for participating

students and place it in their locker on Friday morning.

Bags include items such as juice boxes, granola bars,

mac & cheese cups, goldfish crackers, and milk. The

menu will vary weekly. Children can pick up their

backpack bag when they leave school on Friday. These

bags are free, open to all students, and sponsored by

the Weymouth Food Pantry.
