Mid Summer!

I hope you are all having a wonderful summer! We are excited to have the kids back...just not yet. We still have some work to do. However, I wanted to put several things on your radars. 

We have scheduled our annual Popsicles on the Playground for August 23rd from 4:00-6:00. I'm crossing my fingers and toes that the weather cooperates and we can actually have the event on the playground. I'm 0 for 2 so far in my tenure here! This event is hosted by the PTA and is an opportunity for all students to get reacclimated to the building and new students to get some nerves out and possibly make some new friends. This is also an opportunity to pick up new t-shirts. Use this link and order by August 14th to get them in time. I'd encourage everyone to consider joining the PTA team!  

Updated School Supply lists can be found on our website here. Our goal is always to keep costs for families down, however, if the list proves to be too much for you please reach out and let me know. We have different mechanisms in place to support families with these costs. 

Once again, TPS will have a School Council consisting of parents, staff, and a student or two. The group discusses the School Improvement Plan, Budget, the Handbook, and advises the Principal (that's me) on different decisions. If you are interested in serving on this committee or would like more information please let me know. If we have more interest than we do seats, there will be an election process. 

Girls on the run! TPS is excited to offer Girls on the Run this fall! This program was created for girls in 3rd through 5th grades. GOTR is a program designed to inspire girls to be joyful, healthy, and confident using a fun, experience-based curriculum that creatively integrates movement. TPS staff, Elizabeth Budness, Alina Budrys, and Melissa Finkler have participated in training and will be the coaches at TPS. More information can be found here


New Staff Member: 
Lindsay May will be joining us as our new MS special educator. She joins us from Chocksett Middle School where she was a MS civics teacher for several years. She's already hard at work reading IEPs and getting ready for this new adventure. 


Extended-day
sign-ups are here! Please check this link if you want to access the program this year. We do not intend to set a cap for attendance but will look to add staff if the number of students requiring the program outpaces the staffing currently in place. You are required to pick specific days, though so that we can plan appropriately. Mrs. Nourse has been hard at work this summer and the program is now able to accept electronic payment! There is also a program handbook that can be found here. 

Music in grades 5 through 8
will continue to be a choice between band or chorus. It is required that families make this determination prior to the first day of school using this form. We will collect the names of students can still participating in strings at a later date.


Cross Country season is nearly upon us. We are looking forward to another great season! Sign-ups for students in grades 5 through 8 can be found here and there is a hard deadline of August 28th. We will not accept registrations after this date as we require the time to make sure physicals are all up to date. I know students have been disappointed to miss the deadline in the past so I'd encourage everyone to sign up sooner rather than later and risk missing out. If you know Coach, you know his passion for the program. Here is a link to his call for athletes to join the team!

Every year, a group of 8th-grade parents work together to raise money to offset the cost of our 8th-grade students' celebrations. These celebrations can take many forms, and I always seek feedback from the students themselves to make sure the celebration matches their wants. This past year's 8th-grade class chose to have a semi-formal dance and go on a trip to Six Flags. If you are interested in fundraising, please reach out to me and I will help facilitate the creation of a committee.

Arrival and Dismissal- Drop off and pick up are always tricky at every school the first week back from
the summer. We will be continuing the process from years past. The school day starts at 8:25 and ends at 2:55. Buses will continue to drop off and pick up at the front of the building. Parent drop-off (starting at 8:05) will occur along the side (near the main office entrance). Before the doors open, we ask that cars stop by the fence before turning to pull up against the building. Once we open the doors, cars will loop around the "island" and can start dropping off at the crosswalk. If you are stopped at any point along the sidewalk, please ask your child to exit the vehicle so we can keep the line moving. After a group of cars pull away, the next car with children should pull up all the way to the crosswalk. Children should be able to open the door, grab their things, and exit the car quickly. I know many parents have their kids start to prepare their belongings ahead of time and strategically place backpacks where they are easily accessible. If they cannot do this independently or they have things in the trunk, parents should pull up to an empty spot along the "island" after the crosswalk and park to help their little ones. This is a great area to pull into also if they (or you) need that last squeeze after a hectic morning. We leave those spots open just for you and there is no rush there. Using these also shows respect for other people who are trying to get places and may be running late. I also appreciate everyone's patience, especially during these first few days, while everyone is getting back in the flow.
The end of the day will follow a similar procedure with the only difference being, that cars will form two lines side by side. A staff member will signal the drivers when each group is loaded and can go. 

Everyone: School Dismissal Manager - After our inaugural year with School Dismissal Manager we are moving forward with it as veteran users. You will receive an email from the program inviting you to set your student(s)' default dismissal. Please remember that despite the name of the program, this is one-stop shopping. In addition to dismissal changes, you should enter all attendance-related notifications here. This includes tardies, absences, and early dismissals. 

Transportation- Routes have been published on PowerSchool under "Forms". 
Go here if you want to do any of the following you can do that here
  • Add to your list of people approved to get your student off the bus. 
  • Give permission for the driver to let your student off the bus without an adult if you want them to and they are under 4th grade. 
  • Request a different bus route than the one that corresponds with your home address.   
  • Make a request to maintain an alternate route previously agreed upon. These are required to be requested annually. 

1st Day Goals- On the first day of school we will jump right into the day. We will help all students off the bus or out of cars to get right down to their classroom. This is a great time to start building routines from day 1. I generally have 4 goals for the first day of school. 1: Get all the kids in the building. 2: Make sure they all eat. 3: Get them all home safely. 4: Have as much fun as possible. 


Kindergarten: Come meet the teachers! While the rest of the building starts on the 27th, Kindergarten
will start on the 28th. However, we invite all kindergarteners to come in on the 27th for Orientation and to meet their teacher. 
On August 27th from 9:30-10:15, we invite you to come and see the classroom! Caregivers and kindergarten students may come (we will gather in the cafeteria), and walk together to the kindergarten classroom. Once there, we will have a quick scavenger hunt to complete together, and then access table toys while the teachers go over a few last-minute things for the school year! This is also a great opportunity to bring student supplies in, in a labeled bag. It will save them from having to carry the extra weight on their first day. Afterward, students are invited to go outside and enjoy the playground with their new friends. We ask that all families head to their cars by 10:15 so the playground can be used for recess. 

Lunch- Lunches continue to be free to all students who would like them. They still charge the principal! What people might not realize is that filling out the free and reduced lunch paperwork supports the district in recouping the costs of meals. You can find the necessary paperwork here. I hope the students enjoy the new tables the district was able to purchase through grant funds! This is the first time in a long time we haven't been using "hand me down" tables! Thank you to Margaret Barton (Supervisor of Nutrition) for all she does to support the TPS cafeteria! \

Looking ahead: 
  • Tuesday (8/27) Day A 
    • First Day of School 1st through 8th
  • Wednesday (8/28) Day B
    • First Day of Kindergarten
  • Thursday (8/29) Day C
  • Friday (8/30) Day D
    • TPS Friday! Wear your TPS gear or Red/Black

Celebrations and Goodbyes

This week was full of celebrations and the start of goodbyes. However, it was dominated by our farewell celebrations for our 8th graders! Regardless of whether the student has been with us for 6 months or 9 years, they have become family. On Wednesday, we celebrated with a Commencement at the High School. A special thank you to the parent volunteers who decorated and to the PTA for a banner that will surely become a staple at events to come. There were awards, certificates, and a ton of smiles. We followed it up on Thursday by "clapping out" our 8th graders before they attended their semi-formal dance at Harrington Farms. Again, this was made possible by the 8th-grade parent planning committee and their fundraising. And finally, today, the 8th graders attended Six Flags! What a week! This class will definitely be missed! 

It wasn't all about 8th grade though. On Wednesday, we also said goodbye for the summer to our youngest learners, the kindergarten. We sent them off in style thanks to Mrs. McDonald's efforts in planning and implementing a super fun field day that had something for everyone. This is no small feat for a K-8 school. Thanks also, to our 6th graders who created and managed our field games, and our student volunteers who painted faces. I cannot forget to thank the parents who came out and supported the fun as well. The bounce house was epic! And I think we may have started a new tradition with our Mario Kart tricycle race. I can't wait until next year's field day! 


A note from Nurse Karina: 

With the end of the school year rapidly approaching, here are some reminders from the Health Office:



  • All medications must be picked up by an adult at the end of the school year. If possible, please let me know if you will be coming prior to picking up the medication(s) so that I can have everything prepared.


  • All medication orders must be renewed each school year. New Medication orders and medication should be brought in the day before or on the first day of school. Students are not allowed to transport medications to school with the exception of EpiPens or rescue inhalers that a student carries in their backpack.  Nurses must be notified of any self-carry medications. Medication order forms can be downloaded off the school website using the Health Services tab.


  • ALL medications administered at school must have a physician's order and parental permission. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medications. Please see the medication policy on the school website.        


  • All students must be fully immunized by the first day of school.  The only exceptions are written documentation from a doctor for medical exemptions or a written document stating that due to religious beliefs, your child has not been vaccinated. The exemption forms must be renewed at the beginning of each school year. 


  • Students entering the 4th grade and 7th grade must have an updated physical and immunization record on file in the health office.  Please send these updated documents in as soon as they become available to you.


Please call or e-mail me with any questions or concerns. (978)464-5507 karina_abbascia@wrsd.net



The FIRST Lego League Challenge program is being run for students entering grades 5th through 8th this coming fall. It introduces kids to STEM using legos and lego robotics. The program focuses on creativity, fun and teamwork. Each year there is a theme. This year's theme is SUBMERGED, which focuses on the ocean. The program is multi-faceted and has three main components: the Robot Challenge, the Innovation Project and demonstration of FIRST Core values.

In the FIRST Lego League Challenge program the kids will
  • Build and program Lego Spike Prime robots to complete autonomous missions.
  • Select a real world problem related to the yearly theme, do research on it, design a solution to the problem, prototype the solution and create a presentation. 
  • At the end of the program they will attend a local tournament, where they will present the research project and compete with other teams on the robot missions. 

Below is a great video that shows a sampling of the robots, projects and core values of the program. 
The program is not just about building and programming robots although it is a significant part. The team benefits when the members have a diverse set of skills and interests. The project component draws heavily on being creative and artistic. Teamwork relies on good communication and leadership. The team needs a variety of talents to be successful. 

The program runs two days a week from after school to 5:00 starting the first week in September to mid December. The program cost is $160 which includes registration, tournament fees, tee shirts, project materials, incentive prizes and snacks. If this poses a financial hardship let me know, the fee can be waived or reduced. 

Jennifer Stander will be coaching the Lego League teams. She is an Electrical Engineer working in the field of Robotics and also an Adjunct Professor at WPI teaching electrical and computer design courses. To help the students reach their goals, it is important to have additional volunteers to help at the meetings. If you are interested in registering your child for the program and/or volunteering, feel free to email Jennifer at legofirst@js.mxpark.com

Team selection will be done at the end of June, if your child wishes to participate please let her know by June 18th.

6.5!

The highlight of our week was definitely our "Drop Everything and STEAM Day" followed by our equally exciting "STEAM Night!" It was a great celebration of STEAM and community. The kids did a wonderful job on their projects, it was great to see so many families come out, and the representation of STEAM in the community was inspiring. Thank you to the STEAM night planning committee and to Mrs. Chapalonis for chairing the committee! 

Congratulations to our Basket winners!

I want to remind everyone that Tuesday the 11th is the town meeting. I would never dream of telling
people how they should vote, but, in case you aren't a fan of long school committee meetings or budget presentations, I thought I could share some cliff notes. This year's budget is really driven by state funding (aka chapter 70). While in the past, the district has received millions, this coming year we are only earmarked for a few hundred thousand. This puts a large strain on towns to finance the schools. Given this information, the district has worked to maintain what I would call a "level service" budget (no new costs, additional staff, etc.) but there is still a significant impact on the towns' tax rates. Heading into Princeton town meeting, all but one town has voted to approve the budget and the district needs a 4/5 success rate to move forward. Any changes to the budget would require cuts and require a step back from the progress made last year. It may never be more important for informed families to be at town meetings. I am also being told that we will have National Honors students from WRHS coming down to provide babysitting services if you could use the help. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

So close!

It was a pleasure it was to attend this week's Strings, Chorus, and Band Concert! The students had a wonderful performance and I can't credit the teachers (Mrs. Haynes, Mrs. LeMay, and Ms. Marso) enough. Highlights included the strings' rendition of "Eleanor Rigby", the chorus' rendition of "Lean on Me", and the band performing "Star Wars." At the opening, I shared that I hoped the audience could see the joy in our young musicians as they performed and everyone in the auditorium did in fact see it. 

As we wind down the year (someone said 12 days), I want to direct everyone's attention to our "Lost and Found." We've seen a gentle accumulation of clothing since April break. Please encourage your student(s) to take a trip down and look for lost items. You are always welcome to swing by at arrival or after dismissal as well. We will donate any remaining items once the last day of school is over. Please make sure you only take what belongs to your family. 

STEAM Night is coming! We are excited for families to join us for our upcoming STEAM Night 2024, next Thursday, June 6th, from 5:30p.m.-7:30p.m. Some of the highlights of the evening include featured student work throughout the school, finished projects from our "Stop and STEAM Day" collaborations across grade levels, community members, food trucks (yum!), and our fantastic raffle baskets. Please keep in mind, that raffle baskets are cash only, please! We can't wait to see you there! 

Our second annual 5th grade K'Nex Challenge was a success today as fifth graders teamed with engineers from Thermo-Fisher Scientific in completing a challenge of designing a device to clean and contain oil from a freshwater oil spill on the Elwha River, located in Washington state. They then built, presented, and discussed their process with the team from Thermo Fisher. It was a great day! 

The cafeteria has asked me to share with families that for the last few weeks of school, each school will post their own alternate meal, to use up what we have for inventory in their individual freezers. At TPS, next week's alternate meals are as follows: 

Monday - Bagel Meal
Tuesday - Chicken Patty on Bun
Wednesday - Pizza
Thursday - Hamburger on Bun
Friday - Cereal Meal

16 days left!

As we roll into the final 16 days of school there, are many activities and appointments. This is when it is most important to stay on top of our procedures. Please make sure you are updating School Dismissal Manager with any changes before 1:00 daily. 



This week grades K-4 went on a field trip to see Ada Twist, Scientist & Friends at the Hanover Theatre. The musical is based on the books Rosie Revere, Engineer; Iggy Peck, Architect; and Ada Twist Scientist by Andrew Beaty. It also ties in nicely with our STEAM school as a celebration and a great shared community experience. Judging by the students' reports and the joyous pictures, fun was had by all! 



Congratulations to our 5th - 8th Track team! Both boys and girls brought home the hardware in the district meet this year. We had several wonderful individual performances but they won this as a team. TPS - 
District Champs!

Speaking of track, a note from one of our former runners: 
"Dear TPS families,
Summer is just around the corner, and we would love for you to join us for our 3rd annual, 4-week running clinic from June 18th through July 12th. It will occur on the backfield at TPS 1-2 times a week. There is no charge, and children of all abilities who are rising from 1st through 6th grades are welcome, even if you can't make it to all of our sessions. We hope you can join us!"

Save the date! Field Day 2024 is coming! Thank you to Mrs. McDonald and the PTA! We are looking forward to another EPIC field day to close out the school year on June 12th. Details can be found in the electronic folder. We are looking for volunteers. If you'd like to join us you can sign up here

May 17th

As we begin to wind down the year, I have seen some gifts rolling in for staff. I think I speak for everyone in the building when I write that we love being thought of. My personal favorite is the kid-made cards and items. I bring it up because we are technically municipal employees. Conflict of Interest Law states that we cannot accept gifts or gratuities valued at $50 or more. A number of smaller gifts together worth $50 or more may also violate this law. I wanted to make sure everyone was aware and avoid staff needing to have awkward conversations or complete additional paperwork due to gifts. 

Looking ahead to next year, we are already thinking about our Lego League team. See the following information courtesy of our coach Jen Stander:
"The FIRST Lego League Challenge program is being run for students entering grades 5th through 8th

A note from the Nurse's Office: 
TPS will be conducting the annual
Postural Screening for grades 5-8 during gym classes the week of 5/28-5/31. If a make-up day is required on any screening day, the postural screening will be held in gym class the following week. 
The purpose of this screening is to detect early signs of possible spinal problems in children. It is not a diagnostic service but a program to identify young people who should have a further medical evaluation. If your child has any unusual findings, a notice will be sent home asking you to bring your child to a physician as a precaution. If nothing unusual is found, you will not be contacted.
Preparation: Students may wear a two-piece swimsuit or halter top/sports bra underneath their regular clothing on the day of the screening. This type of clothing permits more accurate observation of the back. 
Opt-Out of the Screening Program: If you wish to exclude your child from the postural screening, please provide documentation that your child was screened by their physician and either complete the note linked here stating you wish to have your child opt out of the screening or email karina_abbascia@wrsd.net
