Thank you to Mathnasium of Billerica for sponsoring this event.

We invite any family seeking support for their child around any significant life change to explore this 8 week group opportunity. The group will be an opportunity for students to learn coping strategies as well as have a dialogue with peers who are facing similar changes. We will focus on developing strategies that can be used in and out of the classroom for academic success and creating healthy friendships. The goal of the group is to allow students the opportunity to identify how the changes are making them feel and to hear and learn from other’s experiences as well.

If you are interested in learning more about the group or enrolling your child please contact Meghan Nolet-Downey at mnolet-downey@billericak12.com.

Please know that our Staff vs. Student Council Volleyball game scheduled for Thursday has to be postponed. We have been monitoring the weather conditions closely, and unfortunately, they are not favorable. The game has been rescheduled for February 27th, from 6:15 to 7:15. We hope that this change will allow some individuals who couldn't attend the original date to join us. If you are now able to attend, kindly fill out the Google form to let us know. We greatly appreciate your understanding and support!!

Thank you,

Ditson Student Council

Improving student learning outcomes is the top priority for all of us here at the Ditson Elementary School. We know that parent and family engagement is one of the biggest factors in student success, and our new Ditson Elementary School App will allow parents to easily connect with what is going on at the school. From in-app translations to push notifications for urgent messages, we know this will be an impactful addition to our existing methods of communicating with families.
