Important Dates
Good Afternoon Families,
I want to start off by thanking all families and students for donating gently used books to the Shawsheen Elementary. We have collected over 1000 books that will all go straight into the classrooms and in the hands of the students to read during Readers Workshop!
Friday is an early release day and students will be dismissed at 12 noon. No lunches will be served and please be sure if your child is going home by a different means of transportation that they have a note.
Just a few reminders looking ahead that we will be having an enrichment program for the whole school on Monday, February 5th Todd Waite will be coming in. He does a program on perseverance and being king to one another. Here is a link for information about him. http://www.toddwaites.com/
Also coming up in February, students will be introduced to our student recognition system that correlates to our Positive Behavioral Support Intervention (PBIS). Please stay tuned and more information will be sent out to families before the launch. Our PBIS team has been working diligently on developing a behavior matrix, lesson plans and much more surrounding our three key words of Respect, Resilience and Responsibility.
On February 14th, all students will take part in the Valentine Cafe put on by our terrific Lunch Staff. The tables will be decorated with table clothes and it will look like a cafe. We did this last year and the students loved it.
Something to look forward to in March is Dr. Suess's birthday. We will be doing a special week full of different theme days. In addition, we are going to launch a Reading Celebration. This is much like an incentive but we wanted it to be more of a celebration of reading. During the month, we will have students write about books they recommend, have some fun bulletin boards up, include teachers in the sharing about favorite books and much more. Stay tuned.

January Updates
Good Morning,
Happy New Year! We have had some crazy weather welcoming us into the new year, but the students were able to get outside this week for recess which is great news. We have also almost collected 700 gently used books for our January Book Drive. THANK you to all the families and students who have contributed. Also, thank to the middle school girl scouts who are helping to label, sort and count all the books. We are still accepting books, so feel free to send them in. These books are going to become welcome additions to expanding teachers classroom libraries. Thank you to families for following the entrance and exit procedures during car rider. It has improved, thank you.
We are continuing with our PBIS approach and will be having an All school meeting in January on respect. We are in the beginning stages of developing a pawsitive system for recognizing behaviors that display our core values of respect, resilience and responsibility. We will keep families updated as we progress with this.
A few reminders that we have an early release day on January 26th. Please be sure to send in a note if students are going home by a different means of transportation. Also, lunches will not be served.
Upcoming Dates:
Lastly, Barnes and Noble is doing a favorite teacher contest. I have attached the directions and the link to the contest if any students would like to participate at home. Feel free to not only send the copy into Barnes and Noble but also to your teacher. What a nice way to appreciate and acknowledge a teacher regardless of winning the contest.
Have a wonderful long weekend,
Mrs. King
