Two important events have been changed:

PARENTS BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT: Because Westfield Day at the Big E is this Thursday, we have moved Back to School Night to Wednesday, September 30.

Back to School Night is an opportunity for parents to come to school and follow their son/daughter's schedule in order to meet each teacher, receive information about classes, and ask questions. It is not a night for conferences with teachers but an opportunity to meet them and get acquainted with class policies and content.

COLLEGE PLANNING NIGHT: This event has been moved to Wednesday, October 7 in order to accommodate the speakers and presenters. More information is available here.
