Week of June 17th
A Message from Mr. Carabatsos
Dear Sullivan Families,
On this penultimate day of school, our community came together in support of students and staff grieving the loss of a classmate and student.
A special thank you to the amazing Sullivan staff, counselors from across the district and the Riverside Trauma Center for their work with students and staff.
Students may still need additional processing time concerning this tragic event; enclosed below please find additional resources to guide you in this support. In addition, please reach out to the school with any questions, concerns or the need for additional support.
Our 8th grade promotion ceremony on Friday offered a fitting culmination to a week long celebration of our students and their accomplishments. A special thank you to all grade level teams for providing memorable activities, events and field trips on our final full week.
Fourth quarter report cards were issued on Friday, June 14th. The final day of school is Tuesday, June 18th.
This is the final call for Summer School sign - up. If your child was recommended for Summer School and fails to attend, they will be retained.
Please see the many summer offerings posted below. Have a safe and relaxing summer vacation.

Summer Program at the Sullivan School
The Summer Program at the Sullivan will run from July 8th -August 2nd. Program starts at 7:20 and students will be dismissed at 10:50. We are running a dual program: enrichment and credit recovery. Students who are attending the enrichment program will participate in 3 fun and engaging activities per day. Students who are in need of credit recovery will participate in Math, ELA, and one enrichment activity. Breakfast and lunch will be served.
We are able to provide bus transportation for students who are eligible. Routes are limited and bus stops may be different than stops during the school year. If you would like to request bus transportation please fill out the transportation section on the form. The deadline to request registration is June 7th. Registration will still be available for students to wish to attend the program, but I will not be able to request transportation after the 8th.
Students may extend their day by signing up for the Lowell Rec Busy Bees program. Click here to learn more about this program
