This week's announcement by Governor Baker, along with modified DESE guidelines, has allowed us to begin to embrace a sense of normalcy here at school! Our students were thrilled to be able to have maskless recess, gym class, and outdoor learning this week.

The days are flying by, and students must continue to work hard, as well as adhere to behavioral expectations as we close in on the final days of this rather different school year. Thank you for the support and encouragement that you provide for your children, to assure that we have a smooth finish.

God bless, stay safe, & have a great weekend!
