Crisafulli School News
June 18, 2026
Dear JAC Families,
It is hard to believe the 2025-2026 school year is winding down. We look forward to celebrating our fifth graders next week as they prepare to embark on their middle school journey. As the 2025-2026 school year comes to a close, we look back fondly on the wonderful memories we’ve made together. It’s been inspiring to see how much every student at JAC has grown, and we’re proud of the many achievements and milestones reached throughout the year.
Looking ahead to the 2026-2027 school year, we’re confident that our new fourth and fifth graders will set a great example for the incoming third grade class.
If you’re eager to get a head start on Back-to-School shopping, each grade level has put together a shared list of classroom supplies for students. Click here for the list of supplies.
If you have any questions, or if purchasing these supplies is a challenge for your family, please don’t hesitate to contact the Crisafulli main office at 978-392-4483 or email adulong@westfordk12.us.
Every day, we are grateful for the dedicated JAC staff and our supportive community, who continually enrich our students’ educational and social experiences. Thank you for entrusting us with your children. We wish you a joyful and memorable summer!
Enjoy the weekend and have a great summer!
Ms. Kennelly and Ms. Holmgren
