Dear Parents and Guardians:
As we approach the end of the year, I am delighted to share some exciting updates and important information with you in our December newsletter.
Celebrating Achievements: I am immensely proud of our students and staff for their hard work and dedication throughout the first two quarters. Our classrooms have been buzzing with curiosity, creativity, and a quest for knowledge. From outstanding academic performances to remarkable achievements in extracurricular activities, our middle schoolers continue to shine bright.
Let's take a moment to acknowledge and celebrate the accomplishments of our students both inside and outside the classroom. Your support as parents plays a crucial role in their success, and we are grateful for the collaborative efforts that contribute to our school's vibrant community.
Upcoming Events: As we step into the festive season, we have planned several events to spread joy and build a sense of togetherness within our school community. Please mark your calendars for the following:
Winter Concert: December 20 in the Oakmont Auditorium from 7-9pm
Holiday Spirit Week: December 18-22
Community Service Drives: Toys for Tots Ashburnham thru December 5; Toys for Tots Westminster thru December 3
We encourage students and parents alike to actively participate in these events, fostering a sense of unity and goodwill during this special time of the year.
Reminders and Important Dates:
Winter Break: Please note that our school will be closed from Monday, December 25 through January 1 for the winter break. We wish you and your family a restful and joyous holiday season.
Parent Portal: Check out your child's progress half way through the quarter on December 11. This is an excellent opportunity to reflect on their progress and set goals for the upcoming quarter.
Fundraiser: Sunday, December 3rd is the PTO sponsored Music Bingo & Raffles at the Brewyard from 5-7pm.
Personal Devices: A reminder that SMART watches, other personal electronic devices, and cell phones are not allowed during the school day, nor is the school responsible if these items become lost or stolen. If students do choose to bring a personal device to school, it needs to remain off and in their locker for the entirety of the school day.
Gratitude: As we reflect on the year gone by, I want to express my gratitude for your continued support. The partnership between parents, students, and our dedicated staff is what makes Overlook Middle School such an exceptional learning environment. Together, we will continue to inspire and empower our students to reach new heights.
Wishing you all a wonderful holiday season filled with warmth, joy, and cherished moments with loved ones.
Best regards,
Kristina Bogosh
Principal
Overlook Middle School
