SRS Students Learning Math
Welcome back to SRS! We are off to a great start this year. Here are a few reminders:
New conditions / Acute Illness
If your child has any new conditions diagnosed over the summer or at any point this year, please notify the nurse so the health clinic records can be kept up to date.
Also, if your child has been diagnosed with an acute illness (such as COVID, Flu, Strep, etc…) please notify the nurse via email (jstiles@mpsd.org) or phone (781-319-3959).
Grade 4 Physical Exams
An updated copy of your child’s most recent physical exam is required to be submitted to the school nurse per DPH in Grades K, 4, 7, and 10.
If you have not already done so, please send in (or email as an attachment) your fourth grade child’s most recent physical in an envelope labeled “for the Nurse.”
Vision and Hearing Screening
We will begin testing for vision and hearing in all grades starting October 2. If your student is already followed for vision and hearing concerns, or you would like them to opt out for any other reason, please send a note to school or written email to:
Julie Stiles (jstiles@mpsd.org)
Please indicate you would like your child to opt out of vision and hearing screening this year in your note.
Thank you! If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me below.

Upcoming Events
PTO News
Welcome back to SRS from the PTO! We are so excited to get started. You should have received a few fliers in your child’s backpack last week that share a little about our goals this year, our annual BOOST fundraiser and a back-to-school Trivia Night. Be sure to join us on September 28th for a FREE Trivia Night (Adults Only) event. Funds raised from this event will go to our annual BOOST fundraiser. Plus, it’s a super fun night. Raise money for SRS and have fun… sounds like a blast! You can learn more and sign up for Trivia Night or donate to BOOST by these links.
(https://givebutter.com/SRSBoost23 and https://givebutter.com/SRStrivia23).
Don’t forget to register for our online PTO community at PT Board. This is where we will do the majority of our updating about upcoming volunteer needs, events and PTO related news. It’s also the home of our SRS family directory. Membership to the PTO is free, as well as joining our PT Board community. You can register your family here (https://srspto.ptboard.com).
Thanks for your support of the SRS PTO. We look forward to another great year!
