ABRAHAM LINCOLN

 

On Monday, February 13th, Historical Perspectives will be presenting a biographical program on Abraham Lincoln to the second grade students.  The presentation will touch not only on his life as President, but also on his life growing up. A chronological account, along with some not so well known facts, will prove to be an educational experience for the children. This program is being sponsored by the Shawsheen/West PAC.

Colder Weather Is Here! 

The cold weather has arrived.  As you know, we make every effort to have outdoor recess daily.  We appreciate your assistance in making sure your children come to school with clothing appropriate for colder weather conditions.  These include a warm jacket, hats, and gloves or mittens. In addition to recess, students stand outside in line during morning arrival time.  Temperatures are colder during the early hours.  So, students need to be warm by wearing the appropriate clothing upon their arrival at school.  Thank you for your assistance.

School Cancellation/Delayed Openings

Now that winter is fast approaching, we wanted to make sure you have the procedures for the calling of no school or delayed openings due to inclement weather. Mrs. Benton, Superintendent of Schools, will continue to use the AlertNow system to notify parents about a school cancellation or a delayed opening. Please note that calls are made early in the morning. When a delayed opening is called, it is a two-hour delayed opening.  For our school, this means school begins at 10:55 a.m. and buses will start to pick-up students at 10:25 a.m., barring any unusual traffic jams.  If you are driving your child to school, the earliest time that you can drop your child off for school is 10:30 a.m., since this is the time when staff members report to morning duty.  We hope this information is helpful to you and we also hope we will not have to use it that often. Cancellations and delays are still listed on local television stations; however, the voice message from the superintendent is the most reliable source. For more detailed information about school cancellations or delays, please go to the district’s Web Page and click on the link entitled “School cancellation and delay information” located on the side of the front page.
