ESS  Newsletter – May 2008

 

 

NO Flip-Flops

We are asking you to please monitor what your children wear to school during the nicer weather.  Our students should be dressed for school and not the beach.  No flip-flops, for safety reasons, and no clothing that are meant for the beach including belly shirts and tank tops.  Shorts are ok if they are mid thigh or below.  We want to keep a learning environment through June 19th.

 

MCAS

Math, Science and History MCAS will be given the weeks of May 12-May 26.  The schedule is on the calendar on the back of this newsletter.  It is very important that your child is present for these testing sessions; our attendance is monitored through the Department of Education.  Students absent due to medical issues must submit a doctor’s note. Thank you in advance for your cooperation in this matter. 

 

Security System

We have a new security system that is now in place at the front door.  All doors are locked throughout the day and you must ring the bell to enter through the front door.  For the after school program, a cell phone number has been given to all participants that may need to reach Mrs. Bogart, the coordinator of this program.  The number is 978-790-3954.  Thanks for your understanding.  It is for the safety of the school.

 

Volunteers

We have a great need for volunteers to help out with the end-of-year activities.  We will be having Junior Olympics and swimming at the Greenwood pool.  Information will be sent home as the activities happen, If you plan to chaperone, please remember to fill out a CORI form if you have not already done so.

 

Computerized Lunch Register

Please do not pay for your child’s lunch in advance till further notice.  The registers need to be up-dated.
