Principal's Message

Dear Families,

It’s been another productive and engaging week here at school, with students across all grade levels continuing to explore new ideas, strengthen their skills, and support one another in their learning. We are so proud of the effort and perseverance we see each day in our classrooms.

Next week, our Grade 4 students will take the ELA MCAS on Monday and Tuesday, followed by our Grade 3 students on Wednesday and Thursday. We encourage all students who are testing to get a good night’s sleep and have a healthy breakfast each morning so they can do their very best. We also ask for the support of our entire school community in helping to maintain a quiet and focused environment throughout the building during testing times.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support in helping make our school a positive and engaging place for all students.

Warm regards,

Frank Rich, Principal

This Month in Physical Education

Dear Thcher Families,

We are just finishing up our Nutrition unit. Our students truly enjoyed all the fun movement themed activities involved. Especially “Grocery Store Mania”  and “Hangry”.  Every elementary age student LOVES being chased by a “Junk Food Junky”!!

Thank you for your ongoing support and encouragement! Feel free to reach out anytime for anything!
