The streak of warm weather that we had recently does not mean we are in the clear just yet, but the kids seem to not quite get that. We are asking for your help. While it might be 60 one day, it could also be 40 when we head out at 10:40 for the first recess. Please make sure to send outerwear with your student each day. We love to get outside whenever we can, but we also need students to dress accordingly. Don't get me wrong, we know they know everything about the weather (at least at my house), but sending the right clothing is a head start. We can then do our part at school and ask them to wear the outside clothing. Thanks for working together with us!

Time sure is flying as we move into our Winter Break next week. With that said, we have been planning our upcoming MCAS schedule for our third, fourth, and fifth graders. We are changing a few things this year, as we have noticed a large drop-off in the scores for our second day of work. In previous years we have tested on back to back days, but now we are spacing the assessments out in order to help avoid any sort of tiring. We are excited to see if this change helps our students perform even better! You will find a draft of the MCAS calendars for April and May below. If you believe your child will not be in attendance for one of their sessions, please let us know (nnorth@awrsd.org) so we can plan accordingly.

There is Extended Day during April Break, but it will be at the Meetinghouse School in Westminster. It is available Tuesday- Friday. Please contact Nicole via email (ndeangelis@awrsd.org ) to make any arrangements.

The staff here at JRB has had a chance over the past few years to order Briggs gear to show our pride for JRB. We are now excited to offer it to families too! Use this link, or click the picture above to check out what is there. We will add new items as they are suggested as well. Please take note if items are youth, womens, or universal. Feel free to make suggestions using this form.

April 9- Half Day

Hello JRB Community!

I am looking for volunteers to mount artwork for this year's art show. You'd be working in the library Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. If you are interested in loaning a helping hand, please email me at kdisalle@awrsd.org.

Thanks so much!
