Well...we finally got some snow! It has been a lucky winter indeed! This week has flown by at West! Our second grade teachers met with Mrs. Lacroix-White (Literacy Coach) on Tuesday afternoon, January 26th.
5th Grade Parents: we have sent home electronic (and paper copy) communication today (Thursday, January 28th) about the new Plymouth Public Schools One On One Chromebook program! Be on the look out for this communication today! This is very exciting for everyone at West, as all students will have the opportunity to have a chromebook! We are starting next week with fifth graders first; more communication to follow soon for the lower grades at West. Parents must sign off on the Loan Of Technology Agreement and all old devices must be returned first in order to receive a new chromebook! Fifth graders will have the opportunity to return their old devices (and receive their new devices) on Thursday, February 4th and Friday February 5th. Mr. Segarra, Mrs. Dorr, Mrs. O'Brien, Ms. Mungo and Ms. Maddox have been discussing and reviewing this new chromebook program (and accompanying documentation) with their students today in class (and again tomorrow).
Calling members of the class of 2034! Kindergarten registration for new students and families (for the 2021-2022 school year) will be during the week of February 22nd - February 26th, 2021! Please refer to https://www.plymouth.k12.ma.us/Page/562 to view and download all the required registration paperwork, and please email Mrs. Lisa Crociati (our West Elementary secretary) at [email protected] to schedule an appointment to register your child for the fall! Alternatively, you can call Mrs. Crociati at 508-830-4350 to schedule an appointment.
Looking ahead to next week (February 1st - February 5th) I will be taking a PIE in the face from Mrs. Hickey's Kindergarten students on Tuesday, February 2nd! They won our PBIS challenge earlier this year, and they are pawsitively PAWSOME! Great job filling your PAWSOME jars with PAWSOME coins Mrs. Hickey's boys and girls! We have a West staff meeting ZOOM call on Tuesday, February 2nd after school; we also have a West School Council ZOOM call at 6:00 PM and a West PTA ZOOM call at 7:00 PM. Our kindergarten and first grade teachers have Professional Learning Community meetings next week on Wednesday and Thursday.
Reminder to Grade Five Parents:
1. The 1 one 1 Chromebook Loan Of Technology Agreement is due back on Wednesday, February 3rd.
2. Old chromebooks must be returned to West on Thursday, February 4th or Friday February 5th in order to receive a new device!
Thank you everyone for your continued support during these challenging times!
Mr. Williams
