Dear Families:
As you may have heard, this month the elementary schools in Weymouth are taking part in the ST Math March Mathness Challenge. Every week, a school competes with another elementary school in Weymouth for the highest average of puzzles earned. Today (Sunday) is the last day in our challenge against Hamilton. Totals for the week are calculated every Sunday night and Nash will be awaiting the new brackets on Monday to see who we will be competing against next! Our students have worked so hard earning their puzzles and persevering during their problem-solving. JiJi even made a special visit to Nash to cheer the students on! We encourage students to share what they are doing on their ST Math journey and to keep working hard to earn those puzzles!

Parent announcements: No Parent council meeting this month March 15th at 6:00pm in our library
Please dress the children warmly. The weather has finally become colder. We use a weather chart to direct how long the kids should stay outside for recess. Studies show that children need frequent breaks, fresh air and movement for their physical and mental wellness. We strive to have them go outside as much as possible (weather-dependant).

Ways to support math at home:
Student attendance is essential for academic growth and social-emotional development. We value the time spent with family, however, we urge you to take vacations when school is not in session. If you are having difficulty getting your student to school, please reach out to me, the classroom teacher, or our school nurse. We are all here to support you and our students.
