The busy month of October!
October is busy! This week, students will be dismissed at 12:05 for Parent/Teacher Conferences on Tuesday and Thursday. These conferences provide the opportunity for important conversations about your child's academic progress. Thank you for attending these meetings.
PTAC News
Last week, our PTAC group met for the first time this year. This important group raises funds to provide enriching opportunities for our students. This fall, PTAC is purchasing small pumpkins and creating a pumpkin patch right at our school! Every student will have the chance to visit the "patch" and choose a pumpkin for their very own. PTAC also raises funds to pay for buses for field trips at every grade level. In the spring, they are supporting our school's request to have a visiting author at school, and are planning a Grandparent/Special Friend Breakfast in March. You can help by supporting PTAC fundraisers if you are able, and by attending the next meeting on Monday, November 13, 2023, at 6:30 PM.
School Council
Each school in Massachusetts has a School Council that is made up of parents, teachers, and community members. This council advises the principal on the development of a school improvement plan as well as the annual budget. The Council meets one evening per month. We are currently looking for parents to serve on our School Council. Two parents have expressed interest in joining the Council. If you are interested, or would like more information, please email me at depink@dy-regional.k12.ma.us
Important dates to remember!
Did you know that Ms. Barton, our librarian, produces a daily news broadcast with third grade volunteers? Students watch the newscast every morning in their classrooms, which includes the daily lunch menu, the Pledge of Allegiance, and a Joke of the Day. These students were news anchors during our first week!
