Dear Families and Caregivers,
What a spectacular first week we have had at VBES! Truly, students were settled in the first morning engaged in community work and tasks. We had our first school wide meeting, a silent practice fire drill and a" real" fire drill today. Cafeteria and recess activity has been exemplary. I can't keep up with the compliments and shout outs regarding hallway transition behavior. While I know it is only the first few days, this is the baseline we will operate from. Thank you for preparing your students/childrenso well.
Visiting parents/caregivers, please park in the inner circle by the island; not along the sidewalk as it is an emergency lane.
Fourth grade band information was sent home on 8/28.
Parents and caregivers can now update their information in ASPEN. Please review your child's portal information: update email phone numbers please.
When your child is absent or will be tardy, please call the Absent Line 978.433.8976 to report.
Tuesday we welcome our new Kindergarten students!
Better Together.
Warmly,
Ami
Bus Routes
Bus routes have been established. Please note that bus 6 has been eliminated. If your child was a car rider last year and you would like them to take the bus this year, please email Mrs. Proulx at PProulx@nmrsd.org and let her know. Also, please email Mrs. Proulx any special arrangements your child may have for after school transportation. Please contact Dee Bus at (978) 597- 2860 with any questions or concerns regarding bus routes or pick up times.
Parent Drop off/Pick Up - CHANGE THIS YEAR!
Parent Pick up will now be in the back of the building in the staff parking lot. Cars will enter via Tucker Avenue, turn left down the side street, and take a right into the parking lot. As cars line up, please be sure to pull to the right side, and allow space for vehicles to travel in the other direction.
Students must exit on the passenger side for safety. We have refined the process each day this week; students must only exit when a staff member is there to support- we will load/unload approximately 15 cars at a time.
Older siblings coming to VBES for pick up, must remain on a sidewalk path while entering the back parking lot. It is for their safety, please support this message.
