1/17/25 Page Newsletter

Dear Page School Community,

As we settle into 2025, here are a few important updates and reminders:

1. Bundle Up Next Week

Meteorologists are forecasting an arctic blast for next week. Please ensure your children are dressed warmly for the chilly temperatures. Hats, gloves, and winter coats are essential!

2. No School Monday - MLK Jr. Day

A reminder that there will be no school on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Looking for ways to celebrate or honor Dr. King’s legacy? Check out this Boston Globe article for family-friendly events and meaningful activities in the Boston area.

3. Dismissal Safety Reminders

We appreciate your cooperation during dismissal time. To keep everyone safe, please note:

• Use the designated crosswalk when heading to the lower parking lot.

• Cars should pull all the way up in the line to maintain traffic flow.

• No sharp U-turns to exit before the car in front of you has moved.

If your child is still learning to buckle themselves, consider parking in the lower lot and walking over to help them. This small adjustment may make dismissal smoother for you and safer for everyone else.

Important Upcoming Dates

• No School - January 20th: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday

• Half Day / Professional Development Day on February 14th - 12pm Dismissal for Students

• February Vacation - No School: February 17 - 21, 2025

• February 24, 2025: School Reopens

2025-2026 School Calendar (recently approved)

• 25-26 Calendar

Thank you for your partnership and continued support of the Dr. John C. Page School.

Respectfully, Dr. G

We understand that life is busy and occasional changes may come up in your child's dismissal plans. For example, if you need to switch from bus transportation to car pick-up for an afternoon, it is critical for us to know.

Please email your child’s teacher with the updated dismissal information and include a CC to Ms. Bacheller in the main office at vbacheller@prsd.org.

This ensures we can safely and efficiently manage the dismissal process for all students.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!

You can find Registration Information HERE.

If you visited the school this week and accidentally left with a visitor badge, we kindly ask that you return it to Mrs. Bacheller in the Main Office. Thank you.

“In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”

- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
