Sheehan School Core Four Values
Respect and Not Neglect ♦ Voice the Right Choice ♦ Listen, Learn, Try, Ask Why ♦ School Wide Pride
September 2023
Dear Sheehan Families,
Welcome to the new school year! We feel fortunate to have you as a part of our school community.
We are a school community that is guided and driven by our school’s Core 4 Values. At the Sheehan School we expect all staff and students to: Respect and Not Neglect, Voice the Right Choice, Listen, Learn, Try, and Ask Why, and Demonstrate School Wide Pride.
We care deeply about our Core 4 as they help guide how we behave and how we treat one another. Kindness is at the core of everything we do here at Sheehan.
As a Sheehan staff, we pride ourselves on fostering and cultivating a school culture where all children feel safe, loved, and valued. We are committed to creating an environment that cultivates a lifelong love of learning where students become caring and accepting individuals and confident thinkers. We embrace our mistakes and encourage one another to work through learning challenges. We grow from success and learn from failure. We celebrate our community, honoring families, traditions, and cultures.
At the Sheehan School, we are fortunate to work alongside an amazing group of parents who volunteer countless hours planning fun community events, supporting our positive school culture, and providing wonderful curriculum and cultural enrichment programs that enhance our student’s learning experiences. In addition, we have wonderful community organizations serving our community such as SEPAC - Special Education Parent Advisory Council and the Foundation for Westwood Education which for over 30 years has been investing in learning opportunities for the Westwood School Community. I encourage all parents to become active participants in and outside the Sheehan School community.
Thank you to all staff, parents, and community members for your efforts on behalf of our students.
We look forward to a successful and rewarding school year for you and your children.
Sincerely,
Kristen Evans

A to Z Connect - Important Update - ACTION REQUIRED
The Sheehan School PTA uses A to Z Connect as our membership platform.
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,
and 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 to 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 Kate Martucci at
sheehan.pta.secretary22@gmail.com with any questions or concerns.
