It has been such a busy week at the preschool! We had community helpers visit to read stories to students, some classrooms made gingerbread houses, Super Friend celebration, classroom door decorating and we had an amazing turnout of parent volunteers for the Parent Council's Winter Workshop event.

Next week is the last week before the Winter holiday break. On Friday, there is a half day for all students. Dismissal is at 10:45 a.m.

There will be no be a newsletter next Sunday. We wish all of our families a wonderful holiday season. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year!

Some Reminders:

This upcoming week is bring your Ipad to school week. Please be sure your child's Ipad is charged and ready to go before placing it in the backpack.

Health and Safety:

If your child is out for more than 3 consecutive days, you must have a doctor's note in order for your child to return to school. If you need to email Nurse Hilton her email is as follows:

bernadette.hilton@weymouthschools.org

In Massachusetts, the law requires every person riding in a passenger motor vehicle to wear a seat belt that is properly fastened and adjusted. Children are required to sit in a federally approved child passenger restraint. The child's seat should be suitable for their age and weight. Please make sure your children are properly buckled into their seatbelts before exiting the school driveway.

TECHNOLOGY:

If you did not pick up your child's Ipad please make arrangements with the office to pick up.
