Information will be available on the Wilmington Public School website, Twitter and local news outlets if inclement weather causes any disruption to our regular scheduled school day. In addition, families will receive an automated telephone call. If there is a delayed opening, all AM sessions are cancelled. If your child attends the full day preschool program, they would attend the PM session beginning at 11:15am.

Communication with the school nurse is imperative as we continue to encounter the challenges of COVID and navigate through the winter months. If you have any questions or need to speak with Mrs. Hilliard regarding your child’s health, please call the health office directly at 978-694-6026 or email her at [email protected].

If your child will be absent from school, please call the main office at 978-694-6070 and choose option 1. When you leave a message, please be sure to include the room number and the reason for your child’s absence. Remember, your child needs to be symptom free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication before they return to school after an illness. Any child that arrives after 8am in the AM session or 11:15am in the PM session, is considered tardy. Parents/guardians must bring their child to the front door to be signed in to enter the building.

I’d like to remind all families when dropping off or picking up your child, please be sure to park in marked parking spots and to turn off your engines to reduce the amount of unnecessary air pollution near our building.

Now that the New Year is upon us, please make sure to update your child’s contact information in Aspen. It is important we have the most current information available to ensure your child’s safety in the event of an emergency.

On Wednesday, January 27, 2021 ALL students will participate in a remote learning day in a combined AM/PM session during the AM hours of 8-10:30am. There will be no in-person learning on this day due to early release/curriculum improvement.

I would like to remind families to have their child wear a warm winter jacket, hat and mittens/gloves. We go outside throughout the day when temperatures cooperate and we want students to stay warm. Please make sure to label their clothing as well.

I would like to thank all the students for creating kindness cards and holiday wishes for our first responders. They put a lot of smiles on the faces of our friends at the Wilmington Public Safety building.

 

This month students will be learning about responsibility, self-care, and making good choices. Throughout the month, we will participate in fun activities to strengthen our physical, social, and emotional health.

If you have clothing, shoes, stuffed animals, etc. you would like to donate, you may place them in the WEF clothing and shoe bin located at the driveway of the school. Please make sure your donations are in bags. For every ton, the WEF will receive $100 that will support educational opportunities for all students.

Our next PAC meeting will be held on Thursday, January 21, 2021 beginning at 8:30am. If interested in joining us, please email [email protected] to receive the Zoom invite.

Please follow the school’s Twitter account Boutwell School@Boutwell36 for school updates, general information and sneak peeks into the classrooms!
