Talbot Elementary School

January 11, 2026
Good Evening,
Talbot’s classrooms are buzzing with curiosity and creativity as students dive into new units across all grade levels. In literacy, students are strengthening phonics skills, reading comprehension, exploring rich texts, and developing their writing voices. In math, classes are building on foundational skills while tackling new concepts through hands on practice and problem‑solving. Science and social studies activities are encouraging students to ask questions, investigate, and make real‑world connections.
Winter assessments are underway, giving us insight into each child’s progress. These assessments help us identify so much. It can help us identify areas of growth, tailor instruction to student needs, and celebrate academic successes.
Please remember that Tuesday, 1/13 is a half day for Talbot students, with dismissal at 11:50AM.
All are welcome to join the Ralph Talbot Parent Council meeting VIRTUAL only, on Thursday, 1/15 @ 5:30PM.
Have a great evening, AND go Pats!

Principal

Weymouth vs. Franklin Food Pantries Face Off in "SOUPer Bowl 2026" Soup Drive
The Franklin Food Pantry is gearing up to defend its title as SOUPer Bowl Champion, but the Weymouth Food Pantry is ready to make sure that doesn’t happen in this year’s highly anticipated SOUPer Bowl 2026 canned soup competition. The two pantries are asking their communities to donate cans of soup starting January 8, 2026. Have your child bring cans into the front office where there will be a Weymouth Food Pantry box. The pantry that receives the most soup by February 8, 2026, will be named SOUPer Bowl Champ 2026. While SOUPer Bowl 2026 is a friendly, spirited competition, the stakes are profoundly serious. Hunger in Massachusetts is reaching crisis levels, with a staggering 1 in 3 people experiencing food insecurity. This challenge will help stock the shelves in both pantries and combat the skyrocketing hunger in our communities.
