Biddeford Primary School Newsletter
October 13, 2021
Dear Families,
Students have been working hard on the NWEAs; I am very proud of their efforts. Parent-teacher conferences will be in early November and can be scheduled in-person or via Zoom/Google Meet. If you attend an in-person conference, masks are required regardless of vaccination status.
Students and staff are enjoying their SOMEDAYS at BPS. We will continue to share some pictures of our SOMEDAYS in this newsletter, on our website, and/or on Facebook.
As we head into November and December, it is important to take note of dates that include early release, parent-teacher conferences, picture retakes, and days off due to holidays or vacations. Please see Important Dates below.
Best,
Margaret Pitts

REAL KIDS WEAR PINK DAY
This year's Real Kids Wear Pink Day is Friday, October 22nd. Kids can make a difference in the fight against cancer in our own community! In 2021, our goal is to continue to grow the program within our schools and have even more kids joining us in celebrating the official Real Kids Wear Pink Day on October 22nd!
