Dear families,

We hope to see you all at our Fall Festival next Saturday from 4-6pm!  Also, parent-teacher conferences are coming up; if you have not yet signed up for a conference, please reach out to your teacher to arrange a time.

Reminder: our flu clinic is coming up on October 30th; please make sure to have your forms in by Monday, October 28th.

Lincoln Eliot’s Safety Day, October 29th, 9:00- 10:30 a.m.
As a school, we will practice our district’s updated emergency procedures and protocols both in and out of school.  This will include having students practice a fire drill, a shelter-in-place, and lockdown for times when we want to keep everyone safe inside their learning spaces.  We will also practice how to respond if there is a hostile event in our school and we need to quickly and safely evacuate to an alternative site, Our Lady Church.  The staff reviewed all procedures and protocols during our September professional development afternoon.  The superintendent also shared resources in his update that was emailed to families last week, Safety in the Newton Public Schools.  Some of these procedures and protocols may raise questions for families.  If you have any questions feel free to reach out to me or our school Social Worker, Julian Turner.

Please mark your calendars:

* Saturday, October 26th:  Fall Festival, 4-6pm
* Wednesday, October 30th:  Flu Clinic at school and Early Release Day, 12:30pm
* Monday, November 11th:  Veterans’ Day – No School
* Tuesday, November 12th:  PTO Meeting, 6:30pm in the library

Have a great week!

Principal Morrissey
