GLASS WATER BOTTLES-PLEASE READ
Dear Parker Families,
There's been a growing number of students bringing glass water bottles to school. Unfortunately, there have been several instances of these bottles being dropped and breaking/shattering in classrooms and hallways. This creates a dangerous situation. If your student brings a water bottle to school, please make sure it's non-breakable material (i.e. plastic or aluminum). Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Also, we have water refilling stations throughout the building and provide paper cups to students who need them. As always please call the office with any questions or concerns. ~Thank you

AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS & ACTIVITIES & LATE BUSES
Our after-school programs have started. The Activity Card fee is $50 per student. PLEASE CLICK ON LINK My School Bucks or send in cash or check made payable to Chelmsford Public Schools and turn into your child's homeroom teacher. The activity card allows students to take full advantage of any clubs they wish to attend. The after-school activities run from 2:40-3:40 on Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday throughout the year. Students also have the option of taking a late bus home. The routes are posted in the school and will not be posted publicly. We will work with students and the drivers to be sure students take the correct bus home. Since we only have 3 late buses, the stops tend to be more spread out than the “regular” bus runs. After activities, students who are not taking a bus will exit the school into the Crooked Spring Road lot and can be picked up there. Please see the attachments below for details and descriptions
