Peter Woodbury School-A Place Where People Care!
March 5, 2021
Dear PWS Families,
We hope everyone had a relaxing February vacation and had the opportunity to do a fun winter activity. The Inventive Thinking Unit was capped off today with our third graders sharing their inventions with the staff and their classmates. We were blown away by the students' unique and helpful inventions! We are so excited to continue in our reopening plan in the Bedford School District. This is another reminder that this Monday, March 8th all hybrid students Grades K-4 will be coming to school five days a week. Our remote learners will continue with remote instruction. Morning parent drop-off will continue moving forward with our new times: 7:30am-7:55am. We thank you for a smooth and quick parent drop off experience today. We hope you have a wonderful weekend.
