Byam Newsletter

Please note on your calendars, there is no school next Friday March 29th.

Our students continue to rack up iReady minutes on our hotly contested March Madness competition. We are at the halfway point and it seems like it is going down to the wire.

Our amazing Byam students reached their winter goal of exceeding 2000 roars, which puts our yearly total over 4000! On March, 28 our students will spend the morning block going "Back to the Future". Students will visit with their previous year's teacher and class for some time to reunite while our kindergartners will head to 4th grade classroom for a glimpse of the future. Our students are excited!

Our 3rd and 4th grades will be taking part in state MCAS testing in just over a month. Please see the testing schedule below. It is important that students are present and on time for testing sessions.
