Congratulations to our fourth and fifth graders for an outstanding performance of Princes Whatsername! The actors' ability to time their comedic lines and display their singing talent made the night a time of laughter and enjoyment. The fourth graders' prelude of their two-minute fairytales set the stage for the full story line that followed.
I hope all of you enjoy your time away, get a respite from the hectic schedules, and are restored so you can greet the spring with the robust energy needed for learning and working hard. Thank you to the many volunteers in our community for all your support and hard work on behalf of our students and faculty over the past months. Your commitment to Brimmer each and every day helps to make this a wonderful place for your children to learn. I look forward to seeing you in two weeks!

Dear Lower School Families,
Princess Whatshername was certainly a great way to finish the winter term and head into spring vacation! It is always amazing to watch the results of hard work coming together as the fourth and fifth grade students present their musical. Fortunately, this year, the creative arts team did not have to worry about multiple snow days interrupting rehearsals!
Ms. McGillicuddy and I want to wish you all the best as we head off for the break, and we truly hope that it will continue to be spring, not just in name, when we return.
Thomas A. Fuller
Head of Lower School

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We will travel by school bus to and from the theater and expect to be back at School by 11:15 p.m. The permission forms were emailed home a few weeks back, and paper copies were also given to students.
Conference sign up information has been sent home via postal mail. The online site for sign up is now available. Parent-Teacher conferences at the end of Quarter 3 will be held in the Chase Building on Thursday, April 7, 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. and Friday, April 8, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Brimmer uses the web-based Parent-Teacher Appointment System ™ to set up parent-teacher conferences.

Interim II Grades
Senior Grades have been posted to the Grades Portal on the Brimmer website. These grades are available to students, parents, and guardians and are not sent to colleges. The Interim II grades are not a matter of permanent record but represent a snapshot in time of the students' current grades.
Interim II for underclassmen ends on March 11; their grades will be available following Spring Break.
Interim II Parent-Teacher Conference Information
Conference sign up information has been sent home via postal mail. The online site for sign up is now available. Parent-Teacher conferences at the end of Interim II will be held in the Chase Building on Thursday, April 7, 3:30 - 5:30 p.m. and Friday, April 8, 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Brimmer uses the web-based Parent-Teacher Appointment System ™ to set up parent-teacher conferences.

The College Visit Experience Opportunity
On the morning of Friday, April 8, when Upper School students are not in school due to Parent-Teacher Conferences, the College Counseling Team is offering an opportunity for a guided college tour experience. Mrs. Pendergast and Ms. Du will accompany students to an Information Session and tour at nearby Boston College in order to introduce sophomores and juniors to the college visit experience. Any interested sophomores and juniors are welcome to attend. Students should contact either Mrs. Pendergast or Ms. Du if they wish to attend this event. The group will begin their experience at Boston College at 10:00 a.m. and should be finished shortly after noon.
