We have some updates to remind families of. First we had an amazing enrichment program from Corey the Dribbler who went over our 3 R's and had a blast while doing it. See pictures on twitter @shawsheenschool! We also had our first All School Meeting where we discussed bathroom behavior, hallway behavior and recess behavior. The students were excellent for our first meeting. Shawsheen shirts have been ordered for all first graders and new students. Also, if you ordered an extra one and returned the order form those should also be in soon.
On Monday, it is national Stomp out Bullying Day. All students are encouraged to wear blue to support this initiative. At the elementary level we are focusing on kindness and inclusiveness. We kicked it off by having Corey The Dribbler come in and on Tuesday we have the Author visiting to share her story about her determined dog.
In addition to the upcoming dates listed and sent home last week we have added vision and hearing for the month of October, fire safety and the WEF walk. More information will be sent out regarding this.
In addition, I am happy to announce that we have a long term substitute hired for Art to replace Mrs. Mock temporarily when she begins her leave of absence. Her name is Mrs. Rebecca Wolfe and she is a certified Art teacher with some great experiences. She has done long term subbing in other districts and will be a great fit for our students during this time. We are very excited to have her on board.
Lastly, I want to thank my school council from last year Mrs. Flaherty, Mrs. Patterson, Mrs. Toth (community member), Mrs. Fitzgerald (parent), and Mrs. Najarian (parent) for helping to formulate our new school improvement goals. Our new goals will be presented on Oct. 9th at school committee if you would like to tune into WCTV or attend. In addition, I have them here below for families to look at to see some of our school focus points. Our new school council members will begin meeting in October and will be notified later today via email. Thank you to all families who sent in a letter to be part of the council.
