1. Early Dismissal: Wednesday, December 12h is our final Early Release day for conferences. Students will be dismissed at 12:40pm from the classroom, and lunch will be served. Please make sure to make a plan with your child so he/she knows where to go at dismissal on these days.
2. Science Solstice: Friday December 14th Driscoll School will celebrate “Science Solstice”: a day when the whole school suspends its regular routine to do science. The goal is to increase students’ enthusiasm and interest in science and technology as well as in becoming scientists. Students will watch presentations and participate in hands-on science activities throughout the day.
3. Upcoming 4th Grade Field Trips: Our 4th grade field trip to the Peabody Museum at Harvard University will take place on Wednesday, December 19th. We will be participating in the Igloos to Adobe Discovery Class. Students should bring a bag snack and lunch. This fun trip will involve lots of walking and taking the train, so we need all the help we can get. If you are interested in chaperoning this trip please contact your classroom teacher ASAP.
