Project Reach is a free after-school program available to students district wide. It is designed for elementary students who like to get a jump on homework assignments and/or practice with academic concepts. Ms. Rachel Antos facilitates the program at Governor Winslow School. Each child works with a student volunteer from Marshfield High School. In addition, the program offers enriching activities, books and games for students to use while learning. Our Governor Winslow family is grateful for Project Reach. Please see the video below and enjoy watching students helping students!

Dear Parents and Guardians,

In the past week we have seen an increased number of students who are sick. In particular with influenza A and a stomach bug that is likely norovirus. The winter is always hard with germs, in an effort to stop the spread as much as possible we are asking that you keep your student home if they are not feeling well. Below are the guidelines taken from the Marshfield Public Schools District website:

The following general guidelines will help you determine when your child should stay home from school:

• When your child has a communicable disease such as strep throat or conjunctivitis that has not been treated for at least 24 hours with antibiotic medication

• When your child has had a fever of 100 degrees or greater within the past 24 hours without fever- reducing medication

• When your child has been vomiting or has had diarrhea within the past 24 hours

Please reach out with any questions, thinking healthy thoughts for the following weeks!

Sincerely,

Courtney Powers BSN MPH RN
