K-8 Morning Dropoff Reminder

Parents:  Please remember that if you are utilizing the “drop-and-go” drop-off area (in front of the main school) between 7:30am – 7:55am, you should NOT be getting out of your car.

If you wish to park to help your child in the morning, please utilize one of our numerous morning parking areas:

St. James Church Lot
St. Mary’s Church Lot
Church Street (after the buses leave at 7:30am)
Otis Street
St. James Street
Park Street in front of/past the Pre-K (both sides).

You may also utilize the staff lot between the main school and the Pre-K (passed the reserved parking sign) if need be.

Also, we are still seeing people park in areas marked by the town as “NO PARKING” (esp. in front of the white house that is across from the school’s main entrance). Please do not park there as it creates an unsafe situation with the high traffic in the crosswalks in the morning.

Thank you again for sharing this information with the person who brings your child/ren to school in the mornings and for helping us ensure the safety of all our students, parents, and staff.

Attention 7th Grade Parents

This morning your child received their school-issued Chromebook.  Each Chromebook has a specific serial number assigned to your child.

Students had a short amount of time this morning to log into their computer; some may also opt to bring them home today to begin familiarizing themselves with how to navigate the various programs.

We ask that all 7th grade parents take some time this evening to speak with your child about the conduct agreement that they (and you – as their parent/guardian) signed at the beginning of the school year.  We also suggest another review of the Chromebook rules we discussed at the parent meeting (i.e. Chromebooks must come to school charged each day, be cared for appropriately at home, used for school-related purposes only, etc.).

Similarly, if you have not already done so, you should remind your child that teachers, administration, and other faculty members will be monitoring their Chromebook activity (both in and out of school) and will receive alerts if a student tries to utilize this school-issued tool in a manner inconsistent with our policies.  Please know, there will be serious consequences for students who chose not to comply with the agreed-upon technology rules.

Lastly, if you have not turned in your Chromebook insurance form, we suggest you send that in with your child tomorrow.

Thank you for your support in helping us ensure our students are well-prepared for success in high school and beyond.
