Dear Families,

 

  • Tomorrow is a half day with an 11:55 dismissal.  Tomorrow's spirit day is Wear a Necktie or Bow Tie Day!  As always, these are optional and students do not need to participate if they don’t want to.

  • Students in grades 4, 5 and 6 will be taking home their MCAS results in backpacks Friday.

  • I will be starting School Council soon!! This is a volunteer opportunity for a parent who can attend four meetings; November, January, March and May to guide the creation of our School Improvement Plan.  We will meet after school at the convenience of the group.  I have two teachers, one returning parent so I’m in need of one more parent.  Please contact me if you’re interested.  If there is more than one parent, we will conduct a vote.  Please reach out to me with any questions.

  • I’m excited to announce that we will be starting a Student Council with our 5th and 6th grade students.  These classroom leaders will be working with me to better Hatfield Elementary School!  They will  ‘run’ by making posters, giving a class speech about their character, and then we will hold elections.  We will invite 4th graders to join in February.

  • We have Natasha Lowe coming to read at our Title 1/ Bingo night on Wednesday, October 26th!  This event is open to all and will be in our cafeteria from 6:00-7:00 pm. We will provide pizza, drinks, cookies and a free book!
