Principal's Weekly Update
March 18th-22nd
Dear Families,
This week our middle school students participated in CPR and AED training through the Sudden Cardiac Arrest Association. I was so proud of how focused and engaged the students were in the training. Students who sent in the form for a certification card will receive it in the next couple of weeks.
We had quite a few students turn in applications for library cards. I have been working with the Fall River Public Library to set up a time for the Bookmobile to visit the school. We will make sure to update families as soon as we confirm a date.
Our SLC is working hard on planning some family events over the next few months. These events will be low cost for families and should be a great way for the school community to get together. Our first event is a Father/Daughter Dance on 4/12. At the end of April, we have a family paint night scheduled. In May, we will hold a Mother/Son event as well as our Walk-a-thon. We will keep you updated with details.
Thank you to all our families who attended Parent/Teacher Conferences. Working with families to support our students is always a priority and I hope you were able to have good conversations about your children's progress this year.
We have some guest readers who will be visiting us in the next week or so. Keep an eye out on Facebook to see who will be joining us to share their loving of reading with our students.
Lastly, please note that class pictures will take place on Wednesday, 3/20. Students should wear their regular school uniforms. This is not a dress down day.
Sincerely,
Megan dos Santos
Principal
