Boyden Weekly Update

Dear Boyden Families,

We’ve had a wonderful start to the school year! Both students and teachers are enjoying getting to know each other and working together to establish a positive classroom learning environment. The enthusiasm and smiles on the teachers’ and students’ faces have set a positive tone for the year ahead!

As you may know, two modular classrooms are being added to the back of Boyden. The construction team is working hard to have them finished soon. While this has temporarily changed our bus arrival and dismissal routines, it has had little to no impact on the rest of our school day. Below are some photos of the project in progress.

Looking forward to a great year!

Curriculum Night

We are looking forward to welcoming parents and guardians to Boyden's Curriculum Night on Tuesday, September 16, 2024. Teachers will be sharing curriculum expectations along with information specific to the classroom. Parents and guardians will also have time to ask general questions. Any questions specific to a child should be reserved for a more confidential setting.

Also, during these times our specialists and other service providers will be available for parents/guardians to meet and hear about the work they do with students. The Curriculum Night at all of the Walpole Elementary Schools are for Parents and Guardians only. Students, other family members, and guests should not attend.

Schedule:
