Updates – January 13, 2024

Dear Sprague/Hunnewell,

As we observe the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday this weekend, please join me in honoring his legacy and the undeniable work he did for civil rights for all future generations.

Please enjoy your holiday weekend.  We will see you on Tuesday, January 16th.

 

Martin Luther King, Jr. Holiday – No School

• No school Monday, January 15th in honor of MLK, Jr.

• See you on Tuesday, January 16th

 

Standards-Based Report Cards (SBRCs)

• Parent access available on Friday, January 26th at 3:00 pm

• Our Standards Based Report Card website has many useful links and information

• The Standards Based Report Card can be accessed using the Parent Portal

• Please click here for those directions

 

Sprague Annual Safety Training with WPD

• On Wednesday, January 31st the training will be held beginning at 1:00 pm

• The training involves use of “blank shots” in order for all staff to be familiar with the sound of a gunshot

• This training will be held indoors but never do we want students to hear anything that may cause alarm – therefore asking for the playground to remain empty between the hours of 1:00 to 3:00 pm would be most appreciated

• As always, it pains me that these training sessions are part of our routines.  Having said that, they are also important for awareness, safety, security, and protocols during an emergency event.
