This week was filled with exciting events and special moments across every grade level! On Monday, our band and chorus students took the stage for the spring concert, and our fourth graders enjoyed a hands-on field trip to Duxbury Maritime. Tuesday brought tons of energy with our annual Field Day, complete with games, a dunk tank, picnic lunch, and the much-anticipated 6th grade vs. staff kickball game. Our strings students also performed that evening as part of the Bryantville spring concert. On Wednesday, fifth graders traveled to Boston to deepen their understanding of the Revolutionary War. Thursday featured a visit from Ms. Melissa from the public library to share information about summer reading, along with impressive presentations by our second graders. Today, our sixth grade band is off to perform at Faneuil Hall, while third graders are presenting their biography projects. We also took time on Thursday afternoon to celebrate Mrs. Vilagie, who is retiring after 29 years of dedicated service to the Hobomock community.

June 2025

Dear Parent / Guardian:

The last day of school is June 13, 2025 for K-12. Last day of PreSchool is June 10, 2025. Medications are not to be stored in the school building over the summer. Medications must be picked up by the last day of school by dismissal time. Medications may be picked up prior to that date, please contact your school nurse to set up a date/time.

Medications are not kept for summer programs.

New medication forms can be found on the Pembroke Public Schools website under the Health Services tab for the next school year for you and the student’s physician/prescriber to complete over the summer. Medication forms expire at the end of each school year.

Per policy, all medication must be delivered at the beginning of next school year by an adult. Medications will not be accepted from students.

Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call your school nurse.

Have a nice summer.

Sincerely,

Pembroke Public School Nurses

Reminder: If you plan to dismiss your child following a project presentation or field trip, please be sure to log the dismissal in PickUp Patrol before the event. These times can become very busy in the main office, and advance notice is essential to ensure a smooth and safe dismissal process for all students.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us keep everyone safe and accounted for!
