Peter Woodbury School-A Place Where People Care!
February 12th, 2021
Dear PWS Families,
Wow! What an exciting Friday we had at PWS! The PWS physical classrooms were filled with our students and our virtual classrooms continued with business as usual online! We saw so many smiling faces as our students came together to meet their cohort counterparts. Several students remarked that it felt like the first day of school all over again! We appreciate your continued support and understanding as we maneuver into this new phase of reopening our school. Please take a moment to look at news and updates from around the PWS community! Have a Happy Valentine’s Day Weekend!
PWS News:
Masks:
If possible, please send your student(s) in with a second mask. Many masks are getting wet in the snow during recess! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
STEAM Challenge Kits:
We've had a lot of excitement centered around the February STEAM Challenge Kits that were sent home. Unfortunately we have run into delayed shipments for some supplies for the month of February. This has resulted in some classes not having received their kits yet. We promise they will be handed out as soon as possible. Every single student and every single class will receive a bag for February, for March and for April. Thank you for being patient and understanding!
Kindergarten and 1st Grade Registration (2021 – 2022):
Starting Monday, February 1st, you may download and print out registration packets from the PWS Website (under the School Information tab—New Student Registration) or stop by our school to pick one up.
*Forms are being updated, and will not be available until February 1st.
The packets need to be returned to the school by Thursday, March 4th. A $525 deposit is required with the K+ registration (checks made out to Bedford School District).
A child must attain his/her 5th birthday on or before September 30, 2021 to be eligible for kindergarten.
A child must attain his/her 6th birthday on or before September 30, 2021 to be eligible for first grade.
Kindergarten students who are currently enrolled at PWS (or anywhere in the district) do not need to register for 1st grade.
Quarantine vs. Elective Travel:
As some families start to plan for February Vacation, we wanted to send a reminder about elective travel. Also, if you do plan to travel outside of New England at any time, please make sure that you contact our nurse, Sam Ewing (in addition to your child’s classroom teacher) as she is responsible for setting quarantine dates for our students and staff members.
Our schools have an obligation to provide an education to students who are required to quarantine and be excluded from school due to exposure. These students are a priority for our teachers (aside from the ones in front of them, of course). Families who elect to stay home or travel will not receive the same service as those students who are required to be excluded.
Kids Vote:
This year we will not be having a PWS kids vote. We are hoping to continue with this tradition starting next year. We do encourage parents/guardians to vote on March 9th.
