HMS PARENT FLASH 12-11-09

Greetings from a suddenly winter filled Harold Martin School. Just the  
other day I was contemplating the need to finish my last part of leaf  
raking when suddenly I was pushing my snow blower around. Conditions  
change quickly in New England. On that note, be sure that your child  
comes with hats, gloves, boots, winter jacket, and snow pants so that  
they can enjoy the outdoors.

I hope you’ll consider attending the next Parent Advisory Council  
(PAC) meeting next Tuesday evening, December 15, from 5:30-6:30 in the  
Maple Street School library. We’ll have two topics that evening. Maple  
Street Principal Michael Bessette will talk about work he and the high  
school are doing around school culture and our partnership with Main  
Street Academix. In addition, we’ll be chatting about MAP scores which  
you’ll be receiving with your child’s progress report.

Speaking of progress reports, look for them in your child’s backpack  
on Friday, December 18. They are a week late as we are utilizing a new  
computerized program to write them and we want to make sure that  
everything works well. You shouldn’t notice much of a difference on  
your end, but I hope this new process will be more efficient.

I hope to see you at the winter concerts next week. Have a great  
weekend.

Best,


Bill Carozza, Principal

HMS CONCERTS

Parents,

This is a reminder that a very special event is coming your way. The  
children will be sharing their gift of song here at HMS in the multi  
purpose room at 1:45 on the following dates:
Monday, December 14th for grades 2 and 3, and
Tuesday, December 15th for kindergarten and 1st grade.
The children should be dressed in festive, yet comfortable clothes.  
(No jeans and t-shirts, please.) Another consideration is to avoid  
dressing the students too warmly, as the children can get over-heated  
singing together on the risers.
      Hope to see you there,
      Edna Marie Griffin,
      (music teacher)
