FROM THE SCHOOL OFFICE

 

Reminder ~ Early Release Day

This Friday, December 14 is an Early Release Day for Staff Development.
The children will be dismissed before lunch at 11:45 A.M.  Please
remember, if your child will be going home in a way that differs from
his normal routine, to send a note to the teacher.

 

Traffic Reminders

Those of you who drive your children to school in the morning have
likely noticed that, at times, the traffic is backing up onto Lovejoy
Road.  Please remember that the front circle is for live drop off only.
There is no parking allowed.   For safety reasons, children should exit
cars on the right side only.  If you need to accompany your child into
the building, kindly park in the parking lot

 

Explorations ~ Winter Session 

We will be offering new courses in our Winter Session of Explorations,
which will begin the week of January 14.  Two of the Explorations
courses that began in the fall, Volleyball and Math Olympiad, will run
throughout the course of the school year.  Those participating in Math
Olympiad have registered for the year.  Those interested in continuing
with KidSpike (Volleyball) should re-register for the Winter Session.
We are actively seeking your suggestions and ideas for new course
offerings for this winter session.  Parent instructors are welcome!
Please consider sharing your hobbies and skills with the Sanborn
Community.  Schedules are flexible ~ if you are interested, we will make
it happen!  Please call the school at 978-623-8860 or contact Mrs.
Crowley by email at scrowley at aps1.net prior to winter break.  Offerings
will come home with the children when we return from vacation.
