ePack #4

Dear Families:

It is very hard to believe that tomorrow is the final day of September!  The first month of school went by very quickly!  We have a busy month of October coming up.  Please make sure to keep an eye on our web site calendar and if you have not signed up for Remind, please do so!

Walk to School Day:  Please join us on Wednesday, October 5th at 7:45 a.m. at Bank of America for a walk to school.  Check out the flyer in today's ePack.  

Student Handbook:  Please read the Student Handbook on our web site and print and return the Student Handbook Sign Off to school.  

Flu Clinic:  The North Attleboro School System will have a Flu Clinic on Thursday, October 6th. Please see the flyer in today's ePack

MCAS Scores:  We are tentatively scheduled to release last spring's MCAS scores on Friday, October 7th.  

Reminder:  There is no school on Monday, October 10th due to Columbus Day. 

Congratulations:  Mrs. Diane Guyot is retiring tomorrow after a 40 year career in education. She spent most of her career at the Amvet Blvd. School.  I worked with Diane at Allen Avenue School.  She wrapped up her career here at Community School during the month of September.  Enjoy retirement, Mrs. Guyot!  Best wishes!

Jackets:  As the days get colder, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately for outside recess.  

Bus Passes:  If your child rides a school bus, he/she must have a bus pass.  Please click here if you have not filled out an application.

PDF Postings:  There are many postings in today's ePack.  Please be sure to check them out.

That's all for now.  Enjoy your weekend!

Mr. Gaudette

ePack #3

Dear Families:

Sorry for the delay!  I was just simply unable to complete the ePack Thursday and Friday of last week.  Many of you have had concerns about the bee problem at recess time.  We tried to combat this by covering our trash, spraying and moving the Park and Recreation Department barrels to a different location.  However, those efforts did not work.  Therefore, we will have the children eat snack either right before or after recess in their classrooms. There will be no food outside until the bees hibernate for the winter.  

PTO:  The meeting notes from this past Monday's meeting have been posted in today's ePack and in the PTO section of our web site.  

Bus Passes:  Thank you for attaching your child's bus pass to his/her backpack.  If you filled out the paperwork for a bus pass and did not receive one, please contact the main office at 508.643.2148.  

Social Emotional Learning:  There is a presentation this Tuesday, September 27, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. at North Attleboro High School.  All are invited to attend.  

School Council:  We are looking for one parent representative to be on our School Council. Please see the paperwork in today's ePack.  


Congratulations to our "Summer Reader" winners!  Nice job, everyone!  



Hope you enjoyed this weekend's beautiful weather!  

Mr. Gaudette

ePack #2

Dear Families:

Thank you very much for coming to Open House last night!  We had a great showing from students and parents.  Thank you for visiting other parts of our school, as well.  We just finished our first full week of school and our hope is that the children are becoming used to their new environments and routines.  

PTO:  Please remember that our first PTO meeting is this upcoming Monday, September 19th, at 7:00 p.m.  Please join us!  

Student Handbook:  Please review the Student Handbook by clicking here.  You can also return a receipt indicating you have read the Handbook.  The sign off is located here.  

Bees:  You may have heard about the bees on the playground.  Mr. Rancourt has addressed this issue and we feel we are in good shape at this point.  

Bus Passes:  If you filled out paperwork for a bus pass, we should be receiving those in the very near future.  

Thursday, September 22nd:  This day will be a Patriots Rally Day!  Staff and students are encouraged to wear their gear to school!

That's all for this week.  Enjoy your weekend!

ePack #1

Dear Families:

Welcome to the 2016-2017 school year at Community School!  It is only our third day and we are working hard to establish routines, expectations and schedules.  We have a couple events coming up that I would like to invite you to attend.  Open House is Thursday, September 15th.  There is a flyer in today's ePack and a hard copy will go home tomorrow.  Also, Monday, September 19th is our first PTO meeting at 7:00 p.m. in the library.  

Morning Arrival:  Students are allowed to enter the building at 8:05 a.m.  If children enter the building prior to 8:05 a.m., they are not 100% supervised.  Also, if you are dropping off your child off by car, you must pull onto Barrows Street and drop off your child.  We have staff members in place in strategic spots in the building to make sure your child safely gets to the right spot.  NO CARS should drop off children at the front semi-circle unless it is after 8:30 a.m.

Afternoon Dismissal:  Parents are not allowed to park in the staff parking lot on the Barrows St. side of the building or in our neighbors' driveways.  Thank you for your cooperation!

Forms:  Many forms were sent home yesterday.  Please return these forms to school as soon as possible.  

My School Bucks:  If you are interested in creating a lunch account for your child, click here.  

Student Handbook:  The 2016-2017 Student Handbook has been posted on the Community School home page.  Please review the handbook here.  A Student Handbook receipt will be sent home for your signature.  

Remind:  I use Remind to send text message reminders and information to parents.  I've included the directions in today's ePack.  I strongly suggest you take advantage of this system.  

Twitter:  Please don't forget to follow our school on Twitter:  @CommunityComets

That's all for now.  You can access this week's ePack PDF postings by clicking here.

Have a great weekend,

Mr. Gaudette
