Notes from Eddy

Hello Eddy Families,

All our fall plantings got a good watering this weekend! I hope this weekend has been a safe, relaxing, and productive one!

We had a wonderful STEM Night this past week! Thank you to all the families and students who attended, to play science, tech, engineering, and math games, solve problems, and have fun! A big thank you to all the staff who spent their Wednesday evening facilitating stations with families and students, and a big thank you especially to Mrs. Evans for spearheading this event and working so closely with the Cape Cod Regional STEM Network and Cape Cod Five for their support and financial donations. It was great to see so many staff members, students, siblings, grandparents, members of the Brewster School Committee, our Assistant Superintendent Vicky Saldana, and many more! Stony Brook will host K-5 Brewster Literacy Night in February!

We are holding a Charleston Wrap Fundraiser! Charleston Wrap is a gift website fundraiser, and 50% of most items is sent back to Eddy. We appreciate you taking a look at this fundraising website here, to see if there are possibly any items you may already be planning to purchase. Items ranging from wrapping paper and candles to kitchen and gift items. Items are shipped directly to the purchaser, so if you are willing to share the link with loved ones, they do not need to be on Cape to participate. Here is the link. Proceeds will go towards student field trips and programming.

We will hold a Veterans Day Assembly on Thursday, November 12 @ 9:00am. Veterans who are connected to Eddy Elementary (any loved one of an Eddy student or staff member) are invited to join us for the assembly, and we will have light refreshments afterwards. If a veteran connected to Eddy would like to attend, please sign them up here: Eddy Veterans Assembly RSVP 11.12.26

Finally, the next Nauset SEPAC (special education parent advisory council) will meet virtually this week, with Nauset Interim Director of Student Services, Dr. Erin Sullivan, on Thursday 11/12 @ Noon. Your student does not need to have an IEP to attend; it is open to all!

A note from Interim Student Services Director, Dr. Erin Sullivan:

We invite families of students receiving special education services to attend our second ‘26-’27 school year Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) meeting. This meeting will host Nauset Regional High School Special Education Department Chair Genna Margotta for a presentation on “Supporting Your Secondary Student.” This presentation is intended for families of middle and high school aged students to learn how you can support your student to “do school.” However, it will also be beneficial for families of elementary students to begin to think about the changes that occur for students entering the secondary level.

SEPAC meeting provides an important opportunity for families to share experiences, ask questions, offer feedback, and work collaboratively with the district to support the success of our students with disabilities. Whether you are new to special education or have been involved for many years, we hope you will join us. We look forward to building SEPAC together with you.
