Dear Thacher Families:
As a reminder, there is no school on November 7th. Some of the schools are used as polling places for voting day. While students have the day off, staff will be attending Professional Development sessions throughout the district.
We expect to receive school photos in the next few days and we'll send them out as soon as we get them. Picture Retake day is Tuesday, 11/14
Sincerely,
Frank W. Rich
Principal
Vision Screenings will be implemented in grades pre-k, 1-4. Hearing Screenings in grades K-2, and 3. Heights and weights are measured in grades 1 and 4.
Schools are required by Massachusetts General Law to provide vision, hearing, body mass index (BMI) health screenings to all students. Parents/guardians will be notified if a referral is necessary.
All health screenings conducted in school are required by Massachusetts Law. Screenings are ongoing throughout the school year. Parents and legal guardians shall be provided with an opportunity to request, in writing, that their child not participate in the program. This request must be written each year and be specific to which screening you do not wish your child to participate in.

This Month in Art
Dear Parents & Caregivers,
I hope this newsletter finds you and your family well. As the leaves change and the air grows crisper, we're excited to share some of the wonderful art-related activities and projects your children have been working on in our art class this fall.
Autumn-Inspired Art: Our young artists have been busy creating beautiful fall-inspired artworks. From watercolor leaf paintings to colorful pumpkin collages, the kids have been using their creativity to capture the essence of the season.
Ms. Dickson, Visual Arts Teacher
