November 15, 2021
Dear Sheehan Families,
On Monday, November 22nd, we will be hosting our first Sheehan Friendsgiving at 3:30 on the Sheehan playground. Please see details on this under the Week of November 15th. We hope to see many of our Sheehan families.
Our fall parent-teacher conferences will be held this Wednesday afternoon, November 17th. If you have not yet scheduled a fall conference, please contact your child’s teacher to set-up a mutually convenient time to meet either virtually or in-person.
Although the communication between home and school is ongoing throughout the school year, the conferences are valuable opportunities for parents and teachers to sit down face-to-face to discuss a student’s academic progress and social and emotional well-being. It is also a chance to talk through your child’s strengths and areas of need, identify goals, and create a shared vision for the year’s worth of learning and growth.
Sheehan’s Library, Music, Physical Education, and Art Specialists are also available to meet with you to discuss how your child is doing in their classrooms. Please email the specialists directly to set-up a conference time.
Specialists Teachers:
Music - Mrs. Yennior - eyennior@westwood.k12.ma.us
Art - Mr. Hagel - mhagel@westwood.k12.ma.us
Physical Education - Ms. Cook - Jcook@westwood.k12.ma.us
Library - Ms. Clarke - Aclarke@westwood.k12.ma.us
Have a wonderful week ahead.

A to Z Connect - Important Update - ACTION REQUIRED
The Sheehan School PTA uses A to Z Connect as our membership platform.
We recently were notified that their system was upgraded and all families will need to create a new account. The old system should no longer be used. Please log into the new system to confirm your information. Returning users can use the previous username/password. New users, please create a new account. Only one account per family is needed. This website is where families will pay PTA dues, purchase items such as apparel for the annual school apparel sale, and tickets to the fall social. We also hope to utilize this site to coordinate other events throughout the year. Also, this website is where families can access the student directory. This directory is accessible for members who have paid membership dues. We anticipate that the directory will be available in early October. From the website, you can download the mobile app as well. Please contact Julie Slotnick at julie.slotnick@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
The new website is: https://sheehanpta.membershiptoolkit.com
