Change in School Bus Schedule

Dear Parents,

When we add students to our afternoon program and they take the bus home, it changes the time your child will be arriving home.

We had several calls this week and we wanted to provide you with the following important contact information. If you have a question or are concerned about your child’s transportation, please call:

Laura Caprio, Preschool Office: 781-270-1808

If you can’t reach Laura, then please contact:

Louise D’Amato, Preschool Director: 781-273-7632

If you can’t reach either Laura or Louise, please call:

A & F Bus Company at 781-229-0111

Please keep these numbers handy. You may want to hang this note by your phone.

Please remember if your child is going to be absent to call both the bus company and the office.

Note from PAC

Attention Parents. Does your child have any difficulty with educational, social or emotional issues? Is your child receiving extra help or special education services? Do you think they should be, but don't know how to get these services? Come out on Wednesday October 20 at 7:00 P.M. and join other parents in the School Committee Meeting Room at Burlington High School. Maureen Ryan will give a very informative presentation that will help all parents learn how to help their children succeed in school and in life. For more info, email Dennis McCarron at dandmmccarron@hotmail.com or by phone at 781-273-5663. This is your chance to help your child

Columbus Day

Literacy Backpacks

On Thursday of this week we were going to begin sending home our "Literacy Backpack's". Unfortunately, after reviewing the backpacks and materials we are still missing several books and backpacks. We want to ensure that all students have the opportunity to take home a backpack so we have delayed the start of the program until we receive all the books. It is our hope that we will be able to do this by the end of the month.
