End of Year Letter
Good Afternoon Families,
I wanted to thank all of our families and wonderful students for a great school year. This year the students in each grade level have had many successes and experiences that will help them to continue to grow and learn. I am especially proud of the roll out of our Positive Behavioral Interventions and supports including staff creating and teaching the lessons that go along with all the three R's (respect, responsibility and resilience). The system that was trialed with handing out the paws and then the students taking home why they were pawsome was received positively by both families and students. I love when I see a student in the hallway or in class and they can't wait to tell me why they are Pawsome! I am also proud of the many grants that teachers and staff have written to help support all our students with technology, mindfulness and much more.
Some other highlights of the year have been the learning showcases and having families come in to see concerts, view student work or participate in field trips and special enrichment programs offered throughout the year. Another highlight is when the students and families surpassed our goal of donating books to the classroom libraries for the month of January. We collected and distributed into the classrooms over 1000 books this year! We also contributed to fundraisers such as the Special Olympic hat day, food drives, school supply drive and packages for our military.
Celebrating reading month was also a fun and engaging way to encourage reading at home. The students enjoyed the different events including watching all the teachers who created a flip video of their favorite book and place to read. I hope that all students continue reading this summer and visit the Wilmington Public Library for their summer reading program. Also, please feel free to have your children write me a postcard this summer. I love receiving them and sending one back out to your home.
I also want to thank the PAC for helping with activities for our students throughout the year including enrichment programs that are always a hit. Please take a few minutes this summer to look on the PAC Facebook page for updated information and how you can help contribute. They run fundraisers and special events for students throughout the year and we really appreciate it. Also, I want to thank all the volunteers who come in weekly or even for a day or field trip. Each volunteer is so appreciated and we enjoy having families in to help and support the classrooms. Lastly, I want to thank the teachers and staff who work diligently all year to engage, support, create, encourage and teach the children not only the academic requirements and maintain the rigor for student success but also on how to be good citizens and students. They go above and beyond for students and it is truly appreciated.
There are many things to be proud of this year. I hope that families and students take some time to reflect on the year and the positive growth and progress each student has made.
Lastly, I will be posting my summer days on the blog in case families need to reach me. Please do not hesitate to reach out if anything should come up in the summertime or you need assistance in any way. I can also be reached via email and will return an email or call ASAP.
Reminder that Thursday is the last day of school and an early release day. Students will be dismissed at 12 noon. No lunches are being served and NO CARES. Please send in a note so that we know how your child is getting home.
Thanks again and have a great summer.

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.
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 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.
