Mr. Bodwell enjoyed hosting his first "Superintendent Roundtable" today!

September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month! Out staff showed support today for the fighters, remember the angels and support families!

Wondering what your child will be learning this year? Curious about how you can support them as learners? Join us at Curriculum Night tomorrow, September 18th to get all the answers!
Parents and guardians (no students, please) are invited to learn about important curriculum topics, grade-level expectations, and the programs and materials used across subjects. Teachers will share timelines for skills and topics covered throughout the school year.
Please remember that this is not a time for a conference or private conversation about your child. If you feel you need to meet, please contact the teacher to set up a time.
To better accommodate families’ schedules and allow parents to visit multiple classrooms, each teacher will present the same info during two sessions—you only need to attend one!
Specialists are joining us too!
Mrs. Pelissier (speech), Ms. Moffat (school adjustment counselor) and Ms. Bennett (school psychologist) will be available in the Gym alongside Music, Gym, Health & Wellness, and STEM specialists. Find Mr. Otto, Mr. Corriea, Ms. Sullivan, and Ms. Winter in the Gym, and Mrs. Tomas in the Art room.
Important details:
• Parking is very limited—plan ahead! Street parking along Steppingstone Drive is likely.
• Presentations start promptly at 5:15 PM and 6:15 PM.
Schedule:
5:00 PM – Doors Open
5:15–5:45 PM – Grade 1, 2 & 3 Session 1
6:15–6:45 PM – Grade 1, 2 & 3 Session 2 (same info as Session 1)
We look forward to seeing you there and partnering together for a great school year!

Today, students took part in the spring book distribution organized by RIF (Reading Is FUNdamental). Each student had the opportunity to select a free book to keep—encouraging a lifelong love of reading. RIF’s mission is to inspire and nurture a passion for reading among our WB students by providing a diverse selection of books. This program is made possible through the generous support of the Howard Trust, Bluestone Bank, private donors, and the Friends of the Library. We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who make this initiative possible!

A heartfelt thank you to the Massachusetts Freemasons Angel Fund for generously sponsoring this enriching experience!
