Weekly nEWSletter

Greetings, Eames Way Families!

We can't believe next week is the FINAL school week of 2023! We've been making the remaining time of this calendar year count at EWS -- even with all of the seasonal festivities, our students are focused on learning, exploring, and refining their skills across subject areas.

We are very thankful for the close to 100 students who gave up their recesses this Friday to make cards for senior citizens in the Marshfield Community. Special thanks goes to our family volunteers who helped make sure everyone had enough paint and paper to complete the project! The cards will be drying over the weekend, but we know our students' creations will bring a lot of joy to a lot of people!

We are excited for our Winter Concert next Wednesday and look forward to EWS Spirit Week, which begins with Pajama Day next Monday! Please be sure to check our "Dates And Events To Remember" for more information on our Spirit Week and Winter Concert times! Have a wonderful weekend, EWS!

With Best Wishes,

Ms. Bishop, Principal

PickUp Patrol is an app used by our families to notify EWS about attendance, including when your student will be absent, arriving late or leaving early, as well as dismissal plan changes. Thank you for your cooperation in helping us improve our new system!

If you have any questions, please first check the PUP Parent Guide. If you still need help, contact the EWS Front Office (781-834-5090 or vquigley@mpsd.org) or PickUp Patrol at support@pickuppatrol.net.

• Practice hand hygiene frequently with soap and water or hand sanitizer.

• Cover coughs and sneezes with a tissue. If a tissue is not available, cover them with an elbow, not a hand.

• Clean high-touch surfaces in your home frequently with household disinfectants.

• Keep your child home from school if they have a fever, especially in combination with a cough, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, congestion, runny nose, or sore throat. They should remain home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without fever-reducing medications.

• Avoid social gatherings if you or your children are ill.

• Proper handwashing, nutrition, adequate hydration, and regular sleep are the best ways to prevent illness.These strategies also shorten the duration of an illness.

• Please pack a healthy snack EVERY DAY. Great snacks include easy-to-eat fruits and veggies like apples, oranges, carrots, and cucumbers as well as whole grain snacks including granola bars, and crackers. Cheese sticks and yogurts are another great option. These ideas help keep hungry bellies at bay and students ready to learn!

• Have your child bring a water bottle to school EVERY DAY. The students have access to the bottle fillers and can refill their water bottles as needed throughout the day.

• We want to be able to send students outside for as long as possible despite the chilly temps. Please be sure students dress in layers for school- they need warm weather gear for outdoor play even when the inside temperature is warm. If students do not have appropriate warm weather/snow gear their outside activities may be somewhat limited so they stay warm and safe.

• If you have any questions or concerns please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at 781-834-5090 x44500 or email me at awhite@mpsd.org

Before and After School Enrollment is open for families!

Every three years our parent/guardian CORI forms need to be updated in order to volunteer at school events. This year marks the beginning of a three year term, so every parent/guardian that would like to volunteer needs to complete a new form this year.

Please click here for the form and submit by bringing this to the front office with your license. You do have the option to have the form notarized and sent in with a copy of your license if you cannot come to the school.
