Principal's Message

January 8, 2018

Dear Sheehan Families,

Happy New Year to all of our families.  We have begun the New Year with a spring in our step and lots of exciting learning experiences taking place in our classrooms.

The winter months are upon us and we make every effort to have our students outside for morning arrival and recess. Please make sure that your children are dressed appropriately for the weather with hats, gloves, jackets, and boots and snow pants when needed. 

Morning Arrival drop off begins at 8:30 when Sheehan staff is on duty on the playground or in the cafeteria during inclement weather.  It has been brought to my attention that it is becoming too confusing having so many adults; staff and parents on the playground area.   I am asking that all parents who accompany their children to school, say goodbye to their child and allow them to go off and play with friends on their own. Thank you for your attention to this matter. 

Winter Mini Courses will be starting up again the week of January 28th.  Please be on the lookout for the email with the online registration form next week.

Our Before School Exercise Program, BOKS will be starting up again on Tuesday, February 26th and running through Thursday, February 11th.  For new families, BOKS is an early morning exercise program for children led by parent volunteers. BOKS prepares students for a day of learning and is an important step in helping children appreciate the benefits of exercise and healthy choices that will last a lifetime.  I encourage all families to consider this program for their children. 

I hope to see many of you at tomorrow evening's workshop for parents on how to talk to your child about race and racism. Dr. Carroll Blake will begin speaking at 7:00 PM in the WHS Little Theater.
