Happy New Year!
We hope you all had a great winter break. We're coming back hitting the ground running with principal search business. Here are some important reminders:
We are looking for parent volunteers to participate in the search process, on the Selection Advisory Committee. In the next couple of days, you will hear much more about the process for how this committee will come together.
ALL parents, and especially those who are interested in potentially serving on the Selection Advisory Committee, are invited to attend the informational meeting hosted by Newton Public Schools
Superintendent James Marini tomorrow (Tuesday) night at 7:00 pm in the Burr cafeteria. In this meeting, Dr. Marini will review the process and timeline for selecting our next principal. Click
here to refer to the memo that Dr. Marini emailed us about this meeting before the break.
Immediately following tomorrow night's meeting, we will send out an email outlining details of how parent volunteers may "apply" to serve on the advisory committee (very simple process--probably just writing up a couple of sentences about why you'd like to participate). Again, if this is something that interests you, please be on the lookout for the follow-up email Tuesday evening... things will move quickly because we must have our committee together by early next week.
We will all find out more tomorrow night, but if you have immediate questions, please feel free to contact
Dana and she'll do her best to answer them.
See you tomorrow night at 7:00,
Steve & Dana
PS: Mark your calendars for the
PTO meeting next Thursday, January 14. The topic will be technology at Burr, we'll see demonstrations of the latest technology being used in our kids' classrooms and have a chance to hear from our teachers about how the technology benefits the educational experience at Burr.
