Upcoming Events-June

Good Afternoon,

This week will be a very busy one while we are winding down the school year. This morning Bus 17 students  participated in our very first Walking School Bus. This was an effort put forth by our physical education coordinator, Mrs. Stinson and the Wilmington Police Department. The students did a great job and it was a beautiful morning for a walk to school.

Going home tomorrow is a PAC fundraiser form for Chunky's Cinema.   The fundraiser only runs one week so that parents will have the tickets prior to the last day of school. The fundraiser is for parents to purchase tickets to Chunky’s Cinema for pre-paid tickets and the PAC will make a certain amount for each ticket. This is something new the PAC is trying for families in hopes that you will make good use of the movie passes while contributing to the school!

Also going home is the flyer for KONA Ice on Island day. This will be taking place on June 18th after student lunches. Please fill out the flyer and return if you DO NOT want your child to participate. Please contact the office with any specific questions or concerns you may have. Students can wear Island Gear for the day! The ingredients are on the back of the flyer.

May Updates

Welcome May!!!

We have a very busy month as you can imagine with winding down from the school year, field trips and concerts!

Today is teacher appreciation day and this week the PAC is providing a luncheon for the teachers on Friday. We all love that so much and appreciate all the families that help out and the PAC.

Tomorrow we are going to do Sports Day! Wear your favorite sports team, hats etc. Maybe the Celtics!

On Thursday evening is the PAC Ice cream social. We sent out a reminder notice the other day. This is a great opportunity to have a special ice cream treat, contribute to the PAC and maybe win a raffle item. Thank you for everyone who contributed to the raffle baskets. They look great!

Friday will be an early dismissal day. Please be sure that your child brings in a note if they are getting dismissed by a different means of transportation. Also, no lunches will be served.

Teachers are beginning the placement process. Just a reminder about the process so that families understand the many components that go into placement. We have several stages prior to it being finalized. Our goal is making balanced classrooms including male/female ratio, service deliveries, reading, classroom size and much more.

MCAS is May 14^th and 15^th for MATH for grade 3 students. 

We have some community events coming up.

The WPS Behavioral Health Task is presenting the 3rd Annual Behavioral Health Provider Fair, “Mind, Body and Goals” on May 15th. See http://wpsk12.com  headlines for more info! This is a great opportunity for all families. Please consider attending.

The Pan Mass Challenge for kids will be on Sunday, May 20th. We will have a table set up at the Ice Cream social for information on signing up. We are trying to help Ms. Hendee to have more kids signed up than previous years. Below is some information and you can sign up on line. I will be there to cheer on Shawsheen participants with a special sign with all the students name on it!

Lastly as summer approaches if any families need assistance in pursuing summer camps or information, please feel free to contact me.
