Classes will resume on Wednesday, Feb. 25, thanks to the hard work of our city and district facilities and maintenance crews. Their commitment, along with the support from our community, is truly outstanding.

Let's show our appreciation and finish strong together! Please take a moment to shovel and treat your sidewalks to provide students with a safe path to and from school this week, whether they are walking or waiting at a bus stop. Every minute spent can help prevent slips, falls and injuries. Additionally, remember to allow extra time for your commute and be mindful of students walking or biking to and from school.

We can’t wait to see all your smiling faces tomorrow!

It's always a great day when we come together as a team, especially with fun outfits and good food!

Friday was no exception, as staff and students dressed up to celebrate the New England Patriots, who are competing in Super Bowl LXl, also known as the Benito Bowl. Our hometown team's journey to the bowl is not only something to celebrate but also serves as inspiration, encouraging both staff and students to keep working hard and dreaming big.

Go Pats! "Maye" the odds be ever in your favor!

Feb. 2-6 is National School Counseling Week, and we are proud to recognize and celebrate our counselors, alongside Director of Social Emotional Learning Lindsay Castro. They approach their work with compassion, professionalism and a deep commitment to what is best for students.

To celebrate the week, Richer Elementary School launched SEL Bingo, a fun, feel-good way to highlight the small yet powerful social-emotional learning moments occurring throughout the school for both students and staff. They also hosted a game of "Who's Who?" to help reintroduce their two counselors on a deeper level to the Richer staff and faculty.

Whether counselors across our district are assisting individual students, collaborating with teachers or helping families navigate challenges, their guidance, care and dedication contribute to creating welcoming learning environments. In these environments, students feel supported, encouraged and empowered to succeed. We are truly grateful for all that our counselors do!
