Dear PWS Families,
This week brought many exciting learning opportunities to our students. The fourth grade classes began their field trips to the Little Brick Schoolhouse. It is safe to say learning about 19th century schooling was an eye opening experience for them. Third graders continued their discovery of the "wonderful" world of Bats, while our first and second grade classes had the opportunity to learn about Fire Prevention and Safety from our friends at the Bedford Fire Department and their Fire Safety Trailer.
We know there are a few families that live very close by to school and enjoy walking to and from school. While this is a nice activity, we also are on roads that do not have a sidewalk, nor crosswalks. Please use the greatest amount of caution if you chose to walk to school and please do not let any children cross either street without a parent with them while crossing.
It is officially October and this month will bring many exciting events like our Scarecrow Jubilee, Math and Literacy Night, and Halloween Parade. Please be sure to pay attention to this and upcoming blogs for more details about these fun filled activities.
Remember that this week coming up is a short week, with no school on Friday or the following Monday.
Have a Great Weekend,
Cheryl Daley, Principal
Dan Mitchell, Assistant Principal

Tripod Survey Information
Between October 7th and October 25th, the district will administer the "Tripod Survey" to students in grades 2 - 12 (grade 1 will participate in the spring). For the elementary schools, this includes "specials" (i.e. art, music, library and physical education) as well as enrichment. This survey asks for the students' perspectives on our teaching practices. All survey responses are anonymous and confidential. The purpose is to use this feedback to help our professional staff continue to improve. This year, parents were able to provide permission for their child to take the survey through InfoSnap registration. If you opted your child out of the survey, please know that we will make other arrangements for him/her during the time that his/her class is taking the survey.
If you would like to view the surveys, please click on the links below.
