December Updates and Happy New Year



Thank you to all the parents who have contributed to the staff, students and community in some way this December. Between the many collections with Festival of Trees, Toys for Wilmington Children, Craft Parties, Volunteering, PAC contributions and much more. We truly appreciate it.
We have had a very busy month in December and we have a well needed break coming up. Just a reminder that tomorrow will be an early release day. Students will be dismissed at 12:00 and there will be NO cares and No lunches will be served. Please be sure that your child has a note on how they are getting home if it is a different means of transportation than usual. Also, tomorrow car rider will be very busy in the p.m. due to CARES not being available. Please be patient with the process tomorrow so that all students are safe in the parking lot.
Lastly, the PBIS team has been going strong and the students now have completed all the lessons on respect, resilience and responsibility.  The Shawsheen PBIS team is looking to add a parent volunteer. PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports. It is a proactive and interactive approach to establish a social culture in a school that supports social emotional and academic success. The purpose is to establish a school climate where appropriate behavior is the norm. The team meets twice a month. Some meetings are on Tuesdays from 7:30-8:30 and some meetings are on Thursdays from 3:00-4:00. The volunteer should be able to commit to most meetings. If you are interested in joining the team please let the team know by completing the Google Form below.


I want to wish everyone a happy, safe and restful break. We will see you in the New Year!
