Academy Avenue Elementary School

Dear Academy Families and Friends,

The month is speeding by. Colder days are heading our way as we inch deeper and deeper towards the New England winter. Please make sure your child dresses for the weather. Extra layers and sensible footwear/jackets/coats make a big difference when outside.

On Monday, we are very excited for the return of hero artist, Rob Surrette. We are very excited to see what he creates this year as well as hear his message of inspiration for our young students. We'll be sure to post a few pictures of the event-a huge thank you to Parent Council for creating great experiences for our students. The kids will love him!

Please make sure you sign-up for Parent/Teacher conferences. We are looking forward to seeing you!

Thank you to all of the Veterans for your service to our great nation. We appreciate you!

Mr. Patrick J. Higgins

Principal
