Dear Families:
It's been another soggy day in North Attleboro! Since there will be no ePack next week, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a great holiday season and a Happy New Year!
Holiday Food Drive: Thank you to Nurse Burke for organizing this collection to help Lenore's Pantry! We will collect non-perishable food items and toiletry items through next Tuesday, December 22nd. Children can wear a hat to school tomorrow if they bring in an item to donate!
Wednesday, December 23: Please remember that we have a half day of school next Wednesday. Dismissal will be at 11:30 a.m.
Vacation: The upcoming vacation is from December 24, 2015 - January 4, 2016. Enjoy!
MCAS: Please note the MCAS posting in today's ePack. This is not Community School's specific schedule, but rather an outline of the testing window.
Student Handbook Receipt Page: If you have not returned a Student Handbook Receipt page, you can locate one in the December 10th folder in the ePack.
That's all for now! Have a nice weekend, everyone!
Mr. Gaudette

ePack #14
Dear Families:
Thank you very much for attending parent-teacher conferences today. I hope you found your meetings informative. I know our staff worked hard to prepare for these important conversations. I hope you were able to pick up a Student Handbook receipt page on the table as you entered the building. Please return that page with your signature as soon as possible. If you did not grab a receipt, it is posted in today's ePack.
If you requested hard copies at the beginning of the year, you may have received your handbook and receipt today or you will get it tomorrow.
Friday, December 11th: Please remember we have another early dismissal at 11:30 a.m. for Full Day Kindergarten - Grade 5 due to the second day of conferences. If your child attends half-day morning kindergarten or half-day afternoon kindergarten, there is no school.
Report Card Envelopes: Kindly return the yellow report card envelopes to school with your signature. Thanks!
Mrs. Picini's Grade 4 Classroom: Mrs. Picini's classroom is become an integrated classroom in the very near future. An integrated classroom is a classroom with a higher number of students on Individualized Education Plans (IEPs) than a "typical" classroom. Our integrated classrooms have one regular education teacher and one special education teacher. I will be interviewing and hiring a special education teacher for this classroom once the December 16th job posting is over.
Skype Morning Announcements: We are at the beginning stages of doing our morning announcements via Skype. We have trialed this with a few classrooms over the past few weeks and we had a few glitches. I am meeting with the Technology Director, Lynn Wiegel, tomorrow to problem solve. Stay tuned!
5th Grade Field Trip: Please remember that our 5th graders will be visiting the Boston Museum of Science on Wednesday, December 16th.
Enrichment Programs: Please note the updated enrichment program list prepared by Katie Ramm in today's ePack.
Lunch Accounts: Thanks to Cafeteria Manager, Meredith Fortier, for attending last night's PTO meeting to answer questions about the My School Bucks lunch program. Please note the postings in today's ePack.
That's all for now. Let's hope for a Patriot win this weekend!
