Attention Fourth Grade Families: A Message from Nurse Doherty

Nurse Doherty has two important messages for fourth grade families.

Physical exams:

Massachusetts State law requires that all children in the fourth, seventh and tenth grades have a physical examination.  Ideally, the primary care physician should perform this physical.  Any physical that was performed after June 1, 2017 is acceptable.  If you have the required paperwork at home, please send it in to Greenwood as soon as possible.

PLEASE REMEMBER- A copy of a physical must be on file for your child to enter grade 5 at the Galvin Middle School in September. If the physical is to be done over this coming summer, please forward it to the Health Office at the Galvin before the first day of school. 

Photo Project:

I would like to do a video for our fourth grade Moving On Celebration.  We still have six months to go, but it is time to start!  If you would like your child to be in the video, please provide the following photos no later than Friday, March 2nd.    

  • 3 photos of each child:
    • 1.    A baby photo of your child. 
    • 2.    A photo of your child around 4 to 6 years of age.
    • 3.    A current photo of your child.
  • Candid photos, preferably with classmates in school-related activities. I will use as many of the candid photos as possible.

 You can send your photos by:

  1. E-mail the photos as .jpgs to: mary.doherty@wpsk12.org. Please put your child’s name in the subject line. 
  2. Burn the photos as .jpgs to a CD (with your child’s name on it) and drop it in my office.

Please do not send paper photos. Note that these pictures do not go in the yearbook as that is a separate project. If you have any questions, please call me at (781) 245-4573.
