Hope everyone is continuing to stay warm! We said thank you and goodbye to Ms. Kelley our crossing guard this afternoon with an all school parade with flowers and cards. Check out our instagram post for pictures!
Conference sign ups are included in this newsletter. We look forward to having everyone join us for a conference on either March 3, 4, or 5.
Now is the time to sign up for KINDERGARTEN 2026-2027! If you have a child who is kindergarten eligible for next school year or know of someone who may need to register for school, we need your help! Early registration helps us determine budgetary needs and staffing for next year. Please register as soon as possible! See below for how to do this.
Information about the Upcoming Override I have received several questions about the override, so I wanted to again share the link to the School committee meeting on January 8, 2026. At this meeting, the superintendent gave a detailed presentation on the impact of a failed override.
It’s the beginning of the month… Here is the February Heath Office Happenings and February PTO Newsletter. So many great ways to get involved in the next few months!
See you tomorrow night at the GLOW DANCE!
Best, Dr. Vice |
