Welcome April!

As we welcome the month of April, after this weekend I am not sure if it is April showers or April snow that brings May flowers.Whichever it is I am certainly looking forward to those May flowers!
Speaking of flowers, the Garden Committee is hard at work to make the school garden the best it can be. If you are interested in helping out, be sure to reach out to the Garden Committee.

A reminder that the week of April 10th  is a short week. We have regularly scheduled days on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. All Grade 3 students will take the English Language Arts MCAS on these three days, April 10, 11 & 12.
On Thursday April 13th there is a 12:00 dismissal for staff professional development and there is NO school on Friday April 14th. The week after (April 17-21) is April vacation and we return on Monday April 24th. Also, starting April 24th ALL BCHMCPS students will receive free breakfast every day in their classrooms.

Hold on to your hats, it seems that April will fly by!

This year the district rolled out on-line student information and all families were required to submit student information through an on-line process.  In earlier blog posts and emails families were reminded of this important process.
We still have families who have not completed this. If you are one of these families, you received a letter last week. The letter contained all the instructions and information you need to complete this process. Below is the information previously posted:

Please log on to the Barnstable Public School's "Back to School Student Information" website http://www.barnstable.k12.ma.us/bts and update your child's informational records. Updating your child's information is crucial for your child's safety and wellbeing and gives the school accurate information about 

• emergency contacts
• medical information
• consent to give over the counter medications such as Tylenol
• as well as alerting us to any custody or legal issues.                                                                                                                                                              

Please follow the link above or below or feel free to come into the school and use the laptop available in the lobby for your use. If you have any questions, please call Erica Aceto, our administrative assistant at (508) 790-6985.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Students will NOT be able to attend any school field trips or receive any over the counter medication if families have not completed this process. Thank you for completing this ASAP.
