This week at BCHMCPS

We had a great start to the school year with happy students and staff filling the school to begin what will be a wonderful 2017-2018 school year.   

Thank you to all our new Kindergarten families for completing the online registration. For our veteran families please remember to update your child's information by September 30. To help you answer your questions please read the FAQ, which can also be found on our school's website under District Information.

Last year our families completed a Family Survey that was sent out to all families. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey. Your feedback helps us to identify ways to improve the school and areas that we can celebrate. In the next blog, later this week, I would like to share the results of that survey.

A reminder that this Wednesday, September 6th BCHMCPS is holding Curriculum Night from 5:30-8:00. This is an opportunity for families to meet teachers and get information about what students will be learning this school year. Two sessions- 5:30-6:30 and 7:00-8:00 will be held in the classrooms so that families with more than one child can attend two sessions. From 6:30-7:00 an informational session will be held for all families. This session will include information from the nurse, adjustment counselors, PTO and me (the principal) that will address issues such as communication, health and safety, etc.

Next Tuesday morning September 12th  we will have the first Principal's Coffee. These monthly meetings will usually have a theme. This month Officer Cabral will be with us to talk about school safety. The Principal Coffee will be held in the cafeteria from 9:00-9:30.


Did you know, due in great part to our schools, that the major publication U.S. News & World Report recognized Massachusetts as the best state in the nation this year ?
This is great news for Massachusetts and its families and is a credit to the hard work that our teachers and faculty put in every day! To find out more about what Massachusetts is doing, use the link below (Back to School Basics- http://www.doe.mass.edu/commissioner/Back-to-School/Basics.pdf) to find out more about education efforts in our great state.

Girl Scout troops are forming now!
Troops are organized by school grade (K-12), meet regularly during the year, and are led by a team of volunteers. Annual membership is $40 per girl and financial aid is available. Space is limited. Visit gsema.org/join to sign up for a troop or find an upcoming Discover Girl Scouts event.






As we concluded Week One students gave the thumbs up to school starting again:

Thank you to Ms. Allen for these great pictures!
