Early Release Day Reminder

Good Afternoon Shawsheen Families,

I wanted to send a reminder that Friday, December 23, 2016 is an early release day. Students will be dismissed at 12:00. There is NO afternoon CARES and no lunches will be served. Also, the school will be closed for winter vacation through Monday, January 2, 2017. School will resume on Tuesday, January 3, 2017.

Also, we are trying to replenish our indoor recess board games, cards and lego selection within many of our classrooms. If you happen to have any gently used or new indoor recess games, we will be collecting them after winter break until the second week of January. Please bring them to the main office and we will distribute them.

Thank you and have a great week!

Morning Car Rider Procedures

Good Afternoon,

I just wanted to remind families about our drop off procedures in the mornings. Recently, we have had an increase in the amount of cars dropping off and in order to make this an efficient process we encourage families to do the following:

* When dropping off, utilize the two row system. We have a crossing guard on duty from 8:30-8:55 a.m and she is there to be sure the students proceed safely along the crosswalk.

* Your child can get out of the car even if you are 2-3 cars back on either side and walk down the yellow line to the crossing guard and then proceed onto the white crosswalk. This will help with exiting and moving the cars along.

* If you would like to walk your child to the door, you must park in the lot and walk up to the crossing guard and utilize the crosswalk.

* Lastly, any preparation you can do ahead of time to ensure that your child can exit the car efficiently will help move things along.

As always when the buses arrive we do our best to hold up the car riders to let the students get off the buses. No cars are allowed to pass a bus or are allowed to go around it when the lights are flashing or the students are exiting the buses. An administrator is on duty outside to help facilitate this daily.

Thank you all for helping to make his process work more smoothly,

Mrs. King
