To all families, students, and staff...Wishing you a very happy, healthy, and hearty Thanksgiving break! I'm thankful to be your Interim Superintendent of Schools, and for your support and partnership. See you all back on Monday, December 1st.
A reminder that our November food drive is still underway and food can be dropped off at any of our schools or Central Office, as well as many town locations such as Town Offices, Library and KCC.
It was a delight to see visitors enjoying lunch with students at Mitchell Primary School at the "Special Person" luncheon. Our School Nutrition Kitchen Staff did an amazing job....thank you!
Newly Elected School Committee Members took Oath of Office on November 4th.

As the days grow shorter, safety becomes a priority. Make certain your child’s clothing is visible to drivers, especially if they walk or bike to school. Reflective gear and bright colors can enhance visibility and reduce the risk of accidents. The fall crispy air has finally settled in. It's time to bundle up to prepare for being outside for walks to the bus stop or to school. If your family needs assistance with providing warm, suitable clothing for your child, please contact the Principal's Office at your child's school.
JoAnne Dowd, Interim Superintendent
