We received information from MASS DOT about the closure and intermittent single lane traffic that will take place on Rocks Village Bridge next Tuesday (10/13) through Friday (10/16) from 9AM to 2PM. This should not have any impact on buses, but for all of us who live around the area, this is important to keep in mind. Here is a link with the detailed information: https://shorturl.at/5dszC.

Our Meadow Farms Fundraiser is underway! The fundraiser started on September 26 and runs through October 10. Meadow Farms is a school fundraiser featuring a variety of delicious snacks, treats, and other products that are great for families and gift-giving. A portion of each purchase comes back to our school. Students should have brought their packets home last week. Every student who is selling needs to be registered. Registration takes about a minute and creates their own online store.

To register your student and get started, please use the link below:
