At the Shawsheen Elementary School our philosophy is to not only address the academic needs of our students but also to assist them in becoming good citizens.  To achieve this goal, we are going to continue to implement a program called “Eight Keys To A Better Me.”  This program will focus on one particular value a month (listed below).  During that month the students will work on the specific value through school-wide activities. 

October-RESPECT 

November- PATRIOTISM

December-KINDNESS

January-COURAGE

February- HONESTY

March-FEELINGS

April-RESPONSIBILITY

May-SELF-WORTH

Reminder

Early Release day is this Friday, September 26th. Students will be dismissed at 12:00. Please send in a note if your child typically attends CARES on Fridays and if they will be going home differently.

No Lunches will be served on early release days.

Thank you

First Day Of School Is Approaching!

On Monday, August 25th the building will be open for all parents and students between 5:00-6:00 in the evening.  Parents and students may come and visit their classroom and see where their desks are located and classroom location. This evening has been a tradition in the elementary schools and we feel that it helps to relieve some anxieties about the first day of school. Hope to see you in the evening on Monday or for the first day of school on Tuesday!
