So, I clearly decided to stop wearing my winter coat too early. But I was bound and determined to march confidently towards Spring and simply ignore the cold wind continuing to bite at my ears. The kids don't wear coats anymore, how cold could it be? Well, the kids are clearly not as delicate as some of us adults are because I was cold and bitter.
You should have seen copies of your child's biographical information this week as I sent them home again to verify the contact information we have in iPass. I apologize to anyone needing to re-correct something that you took time to correct earlier in the year, but we recently discovered a few inaccuracies with contact information and we wanted to make sure that information changes submitted at the beginning of the year had not fallen through any cracks. It was more timely and productive to print the sheets and ask you to verify them again as we enter the spring. Again, I apologize for any hassle and appreciate your understanding.
On Monday, I reminded you of two different messages from Westford Curriculum Coordinators. As they are both quickly marching towards us, it warrants including them again today:
As a reminder, district mathematics curriculum coordinators, Mrs. O'Gorman and Mrs. Coughlin, will be holding informational meetings for parents in grades 4-7 to communicate details of this process. The next meeting is scheduled for March 7 at 6:30 p.m. at John A. Crisafulli Elementary School. Please read the Math Information Nights Notice for more information.
Parents of students in grades 6 & 8 please read the letter from K-12 Wellness Coordinator, Mr. O'Leary, regarding the upcoming Youth Risk Behavior Survey found at this link: Youth Risk Behavior Survey Information
Additionally, I wanted to remind you a great student facilitated benefit quickly approaching:
Come see Westford's finest talent at our new fundraising talent show, Westford in Tune, supporting Cradles to Crayons on April 1st. Auditions for Stony Brook participants are taking place on March 11th, right after school. Admission for the show is a few gently used articles of clothing for children in need, ages 0-12. We are encouraging students grades 6-8 from both Stony Brook and Blanchard to participate and attend this special event. Spread the word to all in Westford and help support a great cause! Anyone unable to attend the performance can still contribute by sending in any like-new shoes and clothes to the donation bins that will be placed all around the school starting on March 21st and ending on April 1st. Thank you all for you support towards Cradles to Crayons and the children they are serving.
The next Washington DC Scholarship Fundraiser is set for Tuesday, March 22 from 3-10 pm at Five Guys. The final event is at Panera on April 14th from 3 - 8. More information and flyers to follow.
Congratulations to Ms. Ottesen and the orchestra students on their wonderful concert last night!
Have a wonderful weekend,
Chris
