5th Grade Parent-Teacher Conferences- January 9, 6 - 8 pm 

   

Due to the severity of Hurricane Sandy and the extended closure of school, an evening time has been set aside (this year only) for additional fifth-grade parent-teacher conferences, supplementing those already scheduled and held on Tuesday, November 27, 2012. Since space is limited, priority will be given to those parents who were not able to attend the November conferences; please contact Mr. Terraciano at vterraciano@shsd.org to secure a conference slot on Wednesday, January 9, 2013, from 6 to 8 P.M.

    

Construction work to begin on Mt Airy Road January 7, 2013

 

There will be construction work on Mt Airy Road beginning January 7 for several weeks. Water mains on Mt Airy Road between South Street and Prospect Avenue are being replaced. The contractor plans on allowing school buses to travel on Mt Airy, but there may be delays if equipment needs to be moved to allow the buses to pass. We will be monitoring buses and make adjustments to pick up times if necessary. For those children whose bus stop locations are on Mt Airy Road, we will have to wait and see how the construction work will impact them.

 

Please advise any children who walk on Mt Airy Road to use extreme caution during the construction work.

Attention Parents and Students! Bedwell students are working on a project in Technology Design called, "Bedwell Builders".  Students are building small replica models of stores and buildings from around town, and they will be delivering them to their actual locations for display.  The only problem is, we're running out of legos!  If your son or daughter has "retired" their legos and you're looking to free up some space in your attic or basement, please donate them to Bedwell School!  In particular, we are looking for green baseplates, and/or lego minifigurines. Donations can be dropped off at the Bedwell Main Office. Please contact Mr. Thurlow with any questions. Thanks!
