Check out the pictures from the Meet and Greet Event on Tuesday!  









From the PTO picnic with the Kona ice truck to the visits to classrooms to drop off supplies, it was a great time to join as one school community!  Thank you to those who have shared some of their experiences.  Hearing what worked well and the suggestions that you have for how to make it even better along with the feedback from the teachers will help us continue to improve the back-to-school experience.  Please feel free to send me an email me at beauchainev@wrenthamschools.org. 



From the Nurses Corner:


Dear Parents/Guardians,
We hope your child has had a wonderful start to the new school year. We wanted to kindly remind you that if your child requires a medication to be administered at school such as an EpiPen, inhaler, eye drops, or any over the counter medication, the nurses will need a doctor’s order and a signed parental permission form. Please drop off any medication in the original pharmacy labeled bottle or box to the health office.
We are unable, by law, to administer any medication to a child without these forms.
Thank you for your assistance and please feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Kerry Richardson, BSN, RN, NCSN- Delaney School
Julie Cashman, BSN, RN- Delaney School
Carly-Rae Haughey, BSN, RN- Roderick School



A GREAT FIRST TWO DAYS!
Students and teachers were all smiles on the first day of school! Check out some of the 
pictures below from the first two days of the 2016-2017 school year!

Some Grade 4 students were involved in discussions about why they think school is important and developed some goals for what they would like to learn and accomplish over the course of the year.  Students organized their materials and learning how their new classroom community will operate.  There were also several different get-to-know-you activities as students met their new table mates and started to learn about what they and their classmates have in common.  Some students also played "MOOSE" a mental math game where they need to manipulate combinations of numbers in their head and strategize to gain the most points!  

Some Grade 5 students were learning about their own learning preferences in several classrooms this week.  Students are beginning to understand their own style and how they are able to learn new concepts and skills.  Others were also learning strategies to choose independent reading books as well as practicing being a reading detective and making inferences to fully understand the author's message.  

Some Grade 6 students were taking a formative assessment in math to ascertain exactly where to focus instruction.  Some sixth graders were writing biopoems that will help the classroom community learn more about each person.  The Chromebook carts came in handy as students were publishing their poems!  Sixth graders were also learning about the upcoming epic Camp Bournedale adventure!



Looking forward to seeing you all again on TUESDAY!
