It's hard to believe but we are already beginning to plan for the 2016-2017 school year. On Wednesday, January 27th at 6:30 p.m., there will be a parent information night for incoming kindergarten students. General information about kindergarten readiness, full-day and half-day options, and registration information will be provided. In addition, representatives from MAP will be available following the presentation to share information regarding their program. I hope to see you there. Please note that if you are unable to attend, all information will be posted on the Memorial home page.
Spirit Day Reminder
Friday is Patriots' Spirit Day! Wear your red, white and blue or Patriots gear to support the Pats in the AFC championship game this weekend.
Inside Recess Guidelines
Winter has definitely arrived! While we try to get the kids outside for recess whenever possible, at times the cold temperatures and/or windchill keep us inside. Decisions are made as close to lunch time as possible to allow for the winter sun to help out. However, if the temperature or windchill dips below 20 degrees, the kids will have inside recess.
As we prepare for the inevitable snow that will be arriving over the next couple of months, please continue to send warm clothes and boots with your child. For those new to Memorial, many families have found that keeping an extra bag, such as a reusable shopping bag, for boots, snow pants, hats, and mittens works well for transporting clothes. As a reminder, it is a good idea to label your child's bag and snow clothes as many items frequently make their way to lost and found.
Lost & Found
The Memorial lost & found bin is quickly growing. The bin is located directly outside the main office and parents are encouraged to take a peek for any items that may belong to your family. Unclaimed items are periodically donated to charity.
World Language Presentation
On Thursday, Wheelock 2nd & 3rd grade students, joined by Spanish teacher, Mrs. Simanski and Mandarin teacher, Ms. Wang visited the Memorial first graders to share about the different world language options available to second grade students. They presented a few songs and shared some phrases that they have been learning throughout their time in class. Thank you to Mrs. Olson, Mrs. Simanski, Ms. Wang and all of the students for joining us! It was a wonderful presentation and a great way to give the first grade students some information about each of the language options. For further information regarding the World Language program and selection process timeline, please visit the Wheelock page at www.medfield.net or click here.
Box Tops
Keep those box tops coming! We are planning to use the funds from the box tops for a very special addition to the Memorial playground. Stay tuned for more information coming soon from the Memorial PTO. Thank you for your ongoing support of our school!
Preschool Registration
Preschool registration for the 2016-2017 school year is now open to all new families. Please visit the Memorial website for pre-registration paperwork.
Have a wonderful day.
Sincerely,
Missy Bilsborough
Memorial Principal
