December Updates

Good Morning Families,

Thank you to everyone for all your donations for the Shawsheen Tree this year. The Festival of Trees will be this weekend and if you go you can look for your child's kindness chain on our Fill Your Bucket Tree.  We will also be collecting toys for Wilmington Children through the Wilmington Fire Department. The notice will be sent home shortly. Please consider contributing. We have many exciting things happening in the upcoming weeks prior to the Holiday break.

Next week we will be having an early dismissal due to parent teacher conferences. Please be sure that if your child is going home by a different means of transportation that they have a note. Also, no lunches will be served. On Friday, December 8th, the author Marty Kelley will be coming to do a presentation for all grade levels. A form will go home the day of the author visit if any parents want to order a signed book. The books will not be in until after the break.

Lastly we will be having an All School Meeting on Monday, December 18th to discuss Resilience so please have students wear their Shawsheen shirts. Also, we will be having an ALL school pajama day on Friday, December 22nd!

If you have not had a chance to review the information on the superintendent screening committee please see the attached information. Also, families may contribute through a survey which is listed below.

The Superintendent Search Survey is now available on the district website. 

To access the survey:

1)      Go to the district website: https://www.wpsk12.com/Page/1
2)      Click on the “Superintendent Search” link
3)      Click on the “Superintendent Search Survey” link

You can also access the survey directly by clicking this link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JTRKWCY.  

The survey will be active until Friday, December 1st at 12pm.  Please consider taking a few minutes to complete the survey.  The data that is collected will be used to develop a profile for the new Superintendent that the School Committee will use when vetting candidates.  If you attended one of the focus groups you are still welcome to take the survey.
