May Days!

How did it get to be May so quickly! A new month also means a new reading challenge from Mrs. Dolat. You can find all the materials you need in the electronic folder. An update on participation: 

  • A total of 45 students participated in April!
  • That's a total of 182 books read in April!
  • There were 36 participants in K-5  and 9 MS readers!
  • Here's how it breaks out:
    • Kindy:  8
    • Gr 1:    7
    • Gr 2:    7
    • Gr 3:    3
    • Gr 4:    10
    • Gr 5:    1
    • Gr 6:    9


Thank you to those that attended last Friday's presentation by Peg Dawson. I thought she had a great perspective and great things to share. She also shared with me a copy of her presentation. They can be found here. Thanks again to the PTA for arranging for her presentation! 

The SEPAC has asked to share the following: "Holden Youth Soccer announced that it's expanding its Unified Program to include students 14 and under, in a program that kicks off this weekend May 8th. We are reaching out to you as this is a new program they are starting up based on seeing the need in the past few weeks. This program supports athletes with and without learning or communication differences and fosters meaningful, inclusive opportunities.
It's no cost, and to register they can reach out to Jon-Paul St. Germain  at jonpaulstgermain1@gmail.com
While it's sponsored through Holden Youth Soccer, it's open to any child in our area.
Here's a quick breakdown of opportunities.
Saturdays: 4:30p - 5:15p - Unified Team Training - 14 and under - Davis Hill Fields
Saturdays: 5:30-6:30 - Unified Team Training 14 and up - Davis Hill Fields
Sundays: 12-1p TOP Soccer - all ages - Mountview Middle School field"

As we approach the end of the year, it's also a great time to get some feedback from all of you. I'd ask you to take a few minutes to complete this survey on how we're doing. My intention is to share the results with the school council on May 15th, so please complete this by Friday, May 12th. 



A note from a few of our WRHS students: "Hello Wachusett Families!! Currently a district wide school supplies donation is being run by four high school students. It will begin the week of 05/07 and will continue until 05/21. We ask that supplies such as pencils, pens, markers and other writing materials still be in their original containers, as well as any notebooks and folders to be clean and unused. All donations will be split throughout the district to support your children’s teachers. If you would like to give a monetary donation you can donate to the Gofundme located Here. Your teachers thank you for any support you are able to give!"

For everyone: Popsicles On the Playground! Or as I've decided to call it, POP   is scheduled for this Friday (8/25) from 4:00-6:00. Enjoy some community and popsicles while your kids reacquaint themselves with our playground and each other. I am monitoring the weather closely and will make a decision on Friday if the event needs to be moved inside. Following the event, the Princeton Police Department will be hosting an event on-site, showing a movie and selling refreshments.  For everyone (Middle School take notice): The district has opened  up   PowerSchool   so you should be able to see your child's teacher/schedule. I know this is an exciting time for kids! It is for us, too! I'm asking that you don't look too deeply into the special classes as these typically take us a few weeks to iron out. Don't worry, your students will be in specials but how they are input into PowerSchool over the summer and how they look in the building don't always align perfectly. Al

All the things!

The Middle School started the week off with a special presentation from Mr. John Frost. He travels the world witnessing and documenting eclipses. He shared his passion with the Middle Schoolers and explained the coming eclipse to them. The kids left excited about this upcoming phenomenon! Just a reminder that April 8th is a school day.  The bus company has asked me to remind parents that any balls transported on the bus should be tucked into backpacks before boarding. Apparently, there have been some issues with loose balls rolling around buses and this can be a safety hazard. Thanks for your attention to this matter.  As you may know, our courtyards are maintained by volunteers. They are due up for their spring cleanup . Ms. Santello will be leading a group of volunteers to tackle the Bangrazi courtyard on Saturday, April 6th from 9:00-2:00. Help clean up the raised garden beds, rake leaves, weed, and plant. Snacks and coffee provided. Contact Ms. Santello at elaine_santello@wrsd.net

I'd like to introduce our newest staff member. This week, we were lucky to have Caitlyn Lafleche join our team as a paraprofessional. She mostly works in 5th and 6th grades but we all know our paraprofessionals jump in to help everywhere so you may hear her name. This means we are nearly fully staffed! We are, however, still looking for help in the kitchen. We have a great team down there in a newly updated kitchen. If you'd like to learn more about joining us, please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or even better, apply here .  As we look ahead to next week I wanted to remind everyone that Wednesday is a half day with dismissal occurring at 11:55. Please make sure to update your School Dismissal Manager if your child's dismissal will be different on that day. If your child will be taking a different bus or getting off at a different stop, please send them in with a paper note as well to give to the driver.  This is followed by our Open House on Thursday even
