Many of you have asked about resources to keep your student engaged in learning while we are out of school. We have created this website, with the help of Ms. Dasilva, to highlight some of the resources that our Math Resource teacher Mrs. O'Neill and our Instructional Specialist, Dr. Lowe have found to be appropriate for your students to work on while school is out of session. Please note that none of these are required, but are posted here as options.
Dr. Boyd and the Lowell Public Schools Administration will be updating our situation throughout the time that we are away from school, as well as providing other resources through the district and in the community to support our families. As those resources are available, we will add them to this website, and notify you through the Sullivan Middle School website as well as the Sullivan Middle School Facebook page. (Note: We invite you to go to Facebook and search for Sullivan Middle School and 'like' us!)
Dr. Ed Foster, Principal
