Good Morning,

It was wonderful to see so many of our families during the Parent Teacher conferences. This is always a great opportunity for staff to share progress and observations with families. We also love to hear from you as to what works at home and the progress that you see, as well.

Please be sure to dress your child accordingly. Students go out to the playground most days to play, get some fresh air as long as it's not too chilly. If you would like to send in a hat and mittens to keep in the locker, just let the teacher know the extra clothes can stay in the locker, in case they are needed.

The Johnson ECC Parent Council is looking for Parent Volunteers for the upcoming Winter Workshop. See the link to register under the Parent Council section of this newsletter.

Important information for students attending Kindergarten Fall 2024.

Kindergarten registration for next year will be opening soon so to prepare for sibling placements we are asking you to take a moment to fill out this brief survey, below. Given rising enrollments in classrooms across the district, the knowledge of siblings is more important than ever to prepare our classes. Your help with this is much appreciated, if you have any questions please reach out to our Family Engagement Center at familyengagement@weymouthps.org

I'm a Super Reader!

Help us reach our goal of 10,000 books

One of the most important gifts we can give our children is to help them learn to read and write so that they can succeed in school and beyond. Confident, active readers are able to use their reading skills to follow their passions and curiosity about the world. We all read for a purpose: to be entertained, to take a journey of the imagination, to connect with others, to figure out how to do something, and to learn about history, science, the arts, and everything else.

We hope to foster the love of reading in our students. Please help us by helping your child read each day. Attached is a reading chart that your child can color each time they read a book. Bring the reading chart to school once all apples are colored and your child will receive a Super Reader sticker. You may choose to only read 10 books per month or submit as many reading charts as you want. We will be keeping track by classroom. If JECC students reach the goal of 10,000 books, we will have a Bubble party at the end of the year.

Help our students reach their goal!

News from the Special Education Department

The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) requires all public school districts to periodically evaluate special education programs and services provided within the district. The Weymouth Public Schools has contracted with ACCEPT Education Collaborative to evaluate inclusive special education services provided to students in grades PreK through Grade 5. Parent/caregiver feedback is a valuable part of this program evaluation. An online parent/caregiver survey will be shared with families whose children recieve inclusive special education next week. We look forward to your feedback and thank you for your participation in this process.
