Greetings Lowell School,

We are thrilled to invite you to our upcoming Math Night, which will take place on Thursday, May 22nd, from 5:45 to 7:00 PM. This is a fantastic opportunity to engage in fun and educational math games and activities that showcase how enjoyable math can be. It's also a wonderful chance to meet our dedicated and talented math team. We hope to see many of you there to celebrate the joy of mathematics together!

Please keep a close eye on your student's classroom calendar, as there's a lot happening at our school. Individual or grade-level events will not be included in the school-wide newsletter. We believe this approach helps to avoid overwhelming and confusing information.

We also want to remind you that there will be NO SCHOOL for Pre-K and Kindergarten students on June 6th. On this day, we will be conducting our annual Kindergarten screening. 

If you know of any families who have not yet registered their children for Kindergarten, or if you have a child who will be entering Kindergarten this fall and have not yet completed the registration process, please do so as soon as possible.

Additionally, Field Day is fast approaching, and we are looking for volunteers to help make this day a memorable success for our students. If you are interested in volunteering, please sign up, and be sure to complete the CORI (Criminal Offender Record Information) check that is required for all volunteers.

Thank you for your continued support!

With gratitude,  

Stacy
