Dear Intermediate School Families,

Whether you are off traveling or staying close to home to share some wonderful quiet family time, sans early morning rushing around and homework help/checks, I hope you are having a wonderful break with your children.  They have worked very hard academically and socially  over the last few weeks, staying focused while anticipating this break.  Here’s to them!

Link to Some Fun Family Activities:

I’m sharing this link with you, as you may find something fun to do this week:https://mommypoppins.com/bostonkids/35-things-to-do-with-kids-in-the-boston-area-for-april-vacation

Drop-off Arrivals Reminder:

Many of you have reached out to ask for us to send this reminder.  Students may be dropped off at school at 8:20 a.m.  This window of 10 minutes before school begins is designed to ease traffic congestion, and we are so grateful to those of you who are able to be here early, as every minute helps.  The drop-off lane near the pool entrance, allows for vehicles to pull to the curb to to the cone, so we may release four cars at a time.  This allows you to let children out safely to the sidewalk.  We appreciate your patience with each other, especially as it gets more congested later into drop-off time, as mornings can sometimes be tricky for lots of families who are rushing to multiple schools, work, etc.
