Dear Parents and Guardians,
I hope that your child(ren) had a smooth transition back to school last week!
As stated above, my goal for these newsletters is to alleviate any questions you may have regarding Point Webster and your child’s education. In this newsletter you will find the 2023-2024 school calendar, email addresses of your child’s teachers, Open House Information, PTO Meeting dates and general school information.
On the first day of school students in grades 5-8 received a manila envelope with all important information for parents and guardians to fill out, sign and return to the school. If you haven’t signed your child’s forms please be sure to do so and have your child return the information to their homeroom teacher.
School breakfast recently began for grades 5-8. Breakfast opens at 7:45 am in the school cafeteria. Students attending the breakfast program are asked to enter through the front door. Breakfast is free of charge for all students.
We will begin MAP Testing this week for all grade levels. You will find the schedule for grades 5-8 MAP Testing in this newsletter as well.
Open House will take place this Thursday, September 14th beginning at 5 pm for parents and guardians to meet your child’s teachers, learn more about the school and the curriculum they will be exposed to this school year. We look forward to seeing students, parents and guardians this Thursday evening. We will be sharing samples of the evening schedule with all of you on Monday as parents and guardians are asked to follow their child's schedule which the will bring home with them on Monday, September 11th.
In addition, we have begun the process of distributing chrome books to those students in grade 5 as well as students new to the Quincy Public Schools. Students will receive their chrome book once their parent/guardian consent form has been turned into the front office.
Just a friendly reminder that if your child is going to be absent from school, please call the school to report your child’s absence at 617 984-6600.
Lastly, I will continue to communicate with you via Aspen emails and through School Messenger phone calls. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions or concerns.
