Wheels on the Bus Safety Program for Incoming Kindergarten Students
Wheels on the Bus Safety Program for Incoming Kindergarten Students
Kindergarten Transition Day (12:00 pm release for Kindergarten students only.)
Welcome to the Downey Elementary School! Our school is an inclusive K-5 building that provides an excellent education to all students. At Downey School we believe that learning is a partnership between the child, parent/guardian, and Downey School professionals. As a staff, we believe that open and honest communication with parents/guardians is important, and we value the input from parents/guardians. To ensure that Downey School is a safe environment for all students and staff to take academic/professional risks, we live by the 6 Downey School Core Values:
Courage, Pride, Excellence, Respect, Responsibility, Inclusion

Dear Downey Community,
I always find that once we return from April break the remainder of the school year flies by. There are many exciting events that will take place during the last weeks of school. Below you will find a list of dates and events to pay attention to.
Thank you to the PTO for providing dinner to the staff on the evening of conferences as well as planning Teacher Appreciation Week which begins today. If you have not had a spring conference, please reach out to your child’s classroom teacher as soon as possible to secure a date and time to meet.
We are also gearing up for MCAS this month in Grades 3-5. Below you will find the testing schedule. Please be sure that your child has a plan for breakfast on that day, whether it be breakfast at home or in the Downey cafeteria. Testing will begin at 9:15 a.m.; there is no time for a snack before MCAS.
Enjoy the warm spring weather and I look forward to seeing you at the Downey spring events. Thank you for your continued support.
Sincerely,
Principal Deb Gallagher
