Weekly nEWSletter

Greetings, Eames Way Families!

What a great week at EWS! Our third graders enjoyed their field trip to the Winslow House and Webster Estate on Monday and learned about daily lifeduring colonial times! On Tuesday, students were immersed in hands-on learning at the Neurodiversity Fair! Our fifth graders enjoyed their "Fun Fest" organized by the EWS PTO on Wednesday evening and on Thursday, our first graders in Mrs. Tate's class did a wonderful job presenting their original stories at our annual "Author's Tea"! The celebration of learning continued with Third Grade's Poetry Festival -- and our third grade poets ROCKED it! We couldn't be more proud of our students and absolutely love sharing the joy and celebrations of their growth with our families!

On Friday we took time to reflect on the significance of Memorial Day and the debt of gratitude we owe to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms. I would like to share a very special thank you to the Lahti Family for donating a new, beautiful flag to Eames Way and for helping us raise it for the first time on Friday morning! To Mr. Lahti and all of our military families -- thank you for your service.

Please read on to catch a glimpse of this week's many exciting moments and mark your calendars for even MORE excitement as we approach the final weeks of the school year! On behalf of all of us at Eames Way ~ Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

With Best Wishes,
Ms. Bishop, Principal

PickUp Patrol is an app used by our families to notify EWS about attendance, including when your student will be absent, arriving late or leaving early, as well as dismissal plan changes. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us implement our new system!

If you have any questions, please first check the PUP Parent Guide. If you still need help, contact the EWS Front Office (781-834-5090 or vquigley@mpsd.org) or PickUp Patrol at support@pickuppatrol.net.

Every three years our parent/guardian CORI forms need to be updated in order to volunteer at school events or in the classroom. This year marks the beginning of a three year term, so every parent/guardian that would like to volunteer needs to complete a new form this year (even if you have been approved in the past).

Please click here for the form and submit by bringing this to the front office with your license. You do have the option to have the form notarized and sent in with a copy of your license if you cannot come to the school.

Please check your email for your credentials. All families can contact aspen@mpsd.org if you have any questions accessing the parent portal.

Medication pick up by June 13 12:10pm:

If your child has medication stored at school, a parent/guardian will need to come to the health office to pick it up. The school is unable to properly store medications over the summer. Any medication remaining at school after the last student day will be properly disposed of.

The last day of school is June 13 and dismissal is at 12:10pm. Please reach out to Nurse White to schedule a pick up time via email awhite@mpsd.org or phone call 781-319-3945. Thank you for your cooperation.

Seasonal allergies (hay fever or seasonal allergic rhinitis):

• Occur when outdoor molds release their spores or trees, grasses and weeds release tiny pollen particles into the air

• Usually develop by 10 years of age

• The immune system releases histamine into the bloodstream to defend against these allergens and the release of these chemicals are what causes the symptoms

Treatment of allergies: No real cure for seasonal allergies, but it is possible to relieve symptoms

• Reducing or eliminating exposure to allergens- keep windows closed, use air conditioning if possible and change your air filter often

• Remove shoes at the door to avoid tracking allergens to the rest of the house

• Wash hands and face after being outside and try to avoid touching your face

• Rinse off in the shower or tub before bed

• Change pillow cases often during allergy season

• If reducing exposure to allergens isn’t possible or is ineffective reach out to your primary care provider about available medication options(non-drowsy antihistamines, nasal sprays and eye drops)

Reminders as the weather changes:

• Hydration: Please be sure your child brings a water bottle to school each day-preferably one that is easily refillable at our refill stations.

• Snacks: Please remember to send in a healthy snack for your child everyday. Some students may need an additional afternoon snack.

• Clothing: Have children dress in layers-the building can become quite warm, and children can overheat very easily.

• Sun safety: Sunscreen must be applied at home before coming to school.

• Tick safety: There has been an increase in the prevalence of ticks. Parents should frequently check their children for ticks, especially around the ankles, legs, and head region after coming inside from any outdoor activities. Bug spray must be applied at home before coming to school.

Before and After School Enrollment is open for families!
