DAY 3

STUDENT INFORMATION   .

*Today, as we observe the Day of the Dead, or Día de los Muertos, we celebrate the rich Mexican tradition of honoring our loved ones who have passed away. Our World Language Department, alongside our talented students, has beautifully crafted an awe-inspiring display showcasing the cultural significance of this special day. This exhibit not only embodies the vibrant colors and symbolism of the holiday but also reflects our school's commitment to embracing diverse traditions and fostering cultural understanding. I encourage everyone to visit the display and take a moment to appreciate the artistry and meaning behind this heartfelt tribute to our cherished memories.

*The 2nd Spirit Day of the School Year is on Friday, November 3rd.  Welcome in the cold weather by wearing Flannel.  Please consider wearing Flannel pants or a flannel shirt. This is sponsored by the 5th/6th grade school council.

*Lace up for the 5K Run for All Ages on Nov 4, 2023 to benefit Wakefield Educational Foundation. Get out there with your kids and parents to join the race for all ages!

PARENT INFORMATION

*Review of Dismissal Procedures: If you should need to dismiss your student during the school day, please send your child in with a note, and have them report to the main office. We will log them in our dismissal book and give them a pass. This will help to alleviate disruptions to classrooms during teaching time. You can still email the teachers, however if that is all you do it may not be transferred to the main office. Also, if you just email the main office staff or Administration, due to the volume of traffic in the office in the morning, an email may not be seen right away. Parents/Guardians MUST come to the main office to sign their child out. Students cannot just walk out on their own. Thank you for your understanding.

*A gentle reminder,  for the safety of all staff and students, parents should not be exiting through the parking lot after dropping children off coming from North Avenue. Parents need to exit the parking lot onto Armory Street. Thank you for your cooperation.
