DWS Family Calendar

Mr. P sent home a Fall Fittness Challenge for the month of November. Keep track of your activities and return the form to have your name on the bulletin board!

Since the passage of the 1993 Education Reform Act, all schools in Massachusetts must form School Councils, which include representation from parents, teachers, the community, and school administration. The purpose of the School Council is to involve parents and teachers in school decision-making. The School Council will also formulate an annual school improvement plan with the goal of strengthening the bond between our school and the Marshfield community we serve. This plan is then submitted to the Superintendent and School Committee.

We are looking for ONE parent to join our School Council this year! We encourage all parents to consider this opportunity for meaningful dialogue and active participation in our Daniel Webster School community. The meetings are generally held once each month on Tuesdays at 4:00.

Please click here for the nomination letter and paperwork.

For those students in grades 3, 4, and 5 who have a signed bicycle permission slip - now that Daylight Savings has passed and it is getting dark very early, students are no longer allowed to ride their bikes to school. Thank you!

To celebrate and end their season, our Girls on the Run team organized an event to raise money for the Marshfield Animal Shelter. Through their hard work and dedication, they raised $889.10, along with a few bags of towels/blankets and food for the animals. Thank you to our coaches! Amazing work girls!

Kindergarten students got the chance to play different instruments as they learned about beat and rhythm this week. Students were shaking, banging, and tapping away to a turkey themed song!

Today was our first DWS Connections! DWS Connections is a time when all students in the school get mixed up with a mentor and have discussions about belonging, being inclusive, and empathy.

Please join the DWS PTO on PTBoard, today! PTBoard is an online platform that we will be using to communicate school information, events and volunteer opportunities to families. As we move away from sending home paper flyers, this will be the only way to stay up-to-date on school events and place orders for school spiritwear, etc. Accounts are free to set up and in no way commit you to volunteering for the PTO. Please reach out with questions at yourdwspto@gmail.com.

Download the App “PTBoard Mobile” in the App Store today!
