*It’s that time of year again when the Lower House Student Council sponsors a food drive to support the Wakefield Food Pantry. We are asking that each grade level contributes a different item: 5th grade will be collecting Pasta; 6th grade - Jarred Sauces; 7th grade - Cereal; and 8th grade - Campbells or Progresso Chunky Soups or Stews. Donations are due by November 20th before Thanksgiving break. Thank you for your support.

All donations can be dropped off in the collection boxes near each grade level's water fountain. Your support is greatly appreciated! 

*Are you a 7th or 8th grader who wants to make a difference at school? Join SPARK, a new student group sponsored by WAAV (Wakefield Alliance Against Violence)! SPARK is all about: Speaking up when something isn’t right; Promoting kindness, respect, and inclusion; Building healthy friendships and relationships; Standing up for yourself and others; Sharing ideas and creating positive change at school. Meet new people, have fun, take part in hands-on activities, and help make our school a place where everyone feels safe, respected, and included. The first meeting will be Thursday, November 12th at 2:15pm in Room 230. See Mrs. C or Mrs. Tarness with any questions.

PARENT INFORMATION

*Students should not be entering the building before 7:15 am unless they are attending Jazz Band, Math Club, or have previously made arrangements with a teacher. There is no supervision in the cafe and breakfast is served from  7:15 am to 7:30 am. Thank you for your cooperation.

*Review of Dismissal Procedures: If you should need to dismiss your student during the school day, please send your child in with a note, and have them report to the main office. We will log them in our dismissal book and give them a pass. This will help to alleviate disruptions to classrooms during teaching time. You can still email the teachers, however if that is all you do it may not be transferred to the main office. Also, if you just email the main office staff or Administration, due to the volume of traffic in the office in the morning, an email may not be seen right away. Parents/Guardians MUST come to the main office to sign their child out. Students cannot just walk out on their own. Thank you for your understanding.

*A gentle reminder,  for the safety of all staff and students, parents should not be exiting through the parking lot after dropping children off coming from North Avenue. Parents need to exit the parking lot onto Armory Street. Thank you for your cooperation.
