Note from the Principal and Assistant Principal's Desks
PLEASE send your children to school with appropriate clothing for outdoor recess. Whenever possible we will give our students the opportunity to be outside for recess. This is a great chance for them to run around, socialize and refocus for learning after lunch and recess. So sweatshirts may be necessary this time of year.
Please continue engaging your children in conversation around events, activities and learning at Whittemore. Please be involved in reading at any level with your children every day. You might have them read to you, or you read to them, or take turns reading alternate pages of a good book. Encourage your child to develop a true love of reading with you.
Also, PLEASE, PLEASE make every effort to keep your children coming to school every day. Their attendance is most important. We have many vacations scheduled throughout the year. Please do not take children out of school at non-vacation times. They miss so much when they are not in the classrooms under the astute direction of our very qualified teaching staff. In addition, we really miss our students when they are not here!
Happy spring –
Debbie Butts, Principal and Ken Haynes, Assistant Principal

Volunteers
All Whittemore School Volunteers need a current CORI.
Are you thinking of volunteering in Classrooms, Library or school??

If you are planning to volunteer during the 2011-2012 school year in classrooms, the library, field trips, or anything else during the school year, you must have an up to date CORI. To have your CORI done, please stop by the office with a valid photo ID. Please keep in mind that at the beginning of the school year, it may take several weeks for your CORI to come back to us.
CORI's are good for 3 years and are good for all Waltham Schools.
