Principal's Message

 

Happy Friday Sheehan Families! It’s finally starting to feel a little bit like spring.  I’m looking forward to some very warm weather this weekend.  It’s been a pleasure spending the past few months at Sheehan and I’m looking forward to all the exciting end-of-the-year activities. I’ve had the pleasure of spending some time with Stacy Mahoney, the incoming Sheehan principal, and I know she looks forward to seeing many of you at the Cultural Festival. I’m looking forward to it as well.  Fingers crossed we have a warm sunny night. 

As always, Sheehan has been a busy place since my last newsletter. We had a wonderful Art show put on by Mr. Hagel and our amazing students; Westwood High School students, in collaboration with Westwood Youth and Family Service, presented the Body Safety Program to 3rd graders; there have been a number of field trips and in-house enrichment programs, including trips to Patriot’s Place, Fenway Park, and the Fisher School and a visit from Dave’s Animal Adventures; 3rd, 4th, & 5th graders completed the ELA and Math Sessions of MCAS (grade 5 has science next week); our final meeting of the PTA was held and new officers elected; and our amazing parents spoiled us during Teacher Appreciation week.  I’m also sure there are things I’ve forgotten to highlight, but certainly a busy time of year.

Through open dialogue, speakers will share stories from their own lives and touch upon how they’ve grown to understand, accept, and take pride in their identities. Their “Ask Us Anything” approach fosters a respectful space where participants can listen, learn, and engage in meaningful conversation.

Mission

The mission of the Sheehan Elementary School PTA is to create an inclusive and connected community of students, families, and educators through enriching educational experiences, teacher appreciation, and community-building events. We hope to create greater bonds between parents of Sheehan students, as well as fundraise for the PTA to ensure that they can continually provide resources to enhance and improve curriculum. The PTA is fundamental in supporting cultural enrichment programs, field trips, computer equipment, recess supplies, art programs, classroom supplies, and so much more.

 

There are always opportunities for parent involvement. Just take a look at our PTA Committee Responsibilities below for information on all our committees. If you are interested in getting involved, we would like to hear from you!
