To date, there have been a few reported cases of head lice at schools across the district. Per the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), NASN (National Association of School Nurses), AAP (The American Academy of Pediatrics) and the MDPH (Massachusetts Department of Public Health), no nit policies are no longer advised. It is also their position that classroom checks should not be done because of the stigma, embarrassment and a student’s right to confidentiality.

Dear Parents,
I hope you enjoyed the long weekend. The first annual PTO meeting will take place Tuesday evening October 11th at 7 PM. in the Greenwood library. This is a great way to meet other families and learn how the PTO helps to enrich our students’ learning experience at the Greenwood School. I hope to see many of you there.
As the weather begins to turn cooler it is important that children come to school dressed appropriately for the season with coats and jackets as we go out most days for recess. Students are always disappointed if they are unable to go outside when they are not dressed for a cold day. Thank you for your assistance with this request.
A reminder that school picture day will be this Thursday October 13th. Have a great week!
Regards,
Deb Collura
