Read Across America continues next week with Vocabulary Day on March 20, 2025. On Vocabulary Day, students wear a headband which they have decorated with a word of their choice and students can also choose to dress up as their word. No masks, please. The word needs to be visible on your headband. Headbands will be given out on Monday, March 17.

It is time to start those daily allergy medications!

With the warmer temperatures here the grasses and pollen are not far behind. It is helpful to get those antihistamines in your child’s system before the peak arrives. These medications should be given at the same time every day for them to work.

Stock up with your supply and start now! We do not store any in the Health Offices.

Any questions or concerns, please contact me.

Stay well,

Ms. Duquette, RN 781-314-5763
