Health News

With many upcoming events involving candy traditions, we ask that no child bring such items (Halloween candy, etc.) to school. It is best to save those special treats for home.

As there are many students with life threatening food allergies within our classrooms, we continue to advise that peanut/tree-nuts derived foods, shellfish/fish and (hard boiled/cooked) eggs not be sent in with your child for snack or lunch. Keeping your children safe is our priority. We continue to practice hand washing daily, disinfect our surfaces and monitor closely as to not share food items.

Included below is age-appropriate information, including safe and healthy snacks.


We have a supply of rapid COVID test kits available for families. If you need a COVID test kit, please contact the CHIPS main office. Test kits must be picked up by parents. We cannot send them home in backpacks.


Please use our absence line (978-251-5188 Option 0) to report your child's absence from school and be sure to state the reason for the absence (illness, appointment, travel, etc).


Nurse Kristen can be reached by calling the CHIPS main number (978-251-5188) and selecting option 3.
