Potter Road Service Project
Potter Road fifth graders were invited to help sort and load bags of food at Greater Framingham Community Church this fall. Here is our first group of students who volunteered during their recess on Friday, November 14th. We couldn't be more proud of these service minded students and their generous hearts! 

Clothing Drive: Donations Needed!
Potter Road will be hosting a clothing drive to directly support students at Potter Road. Please read the flyer embedded below for what clothing items are most needed for our students. We will have collection bins in the Potter Road office. Thank you for your kindness and generosity in helping to take care of our students.

Veteran's Day Presentation

On Monday, November 10th, Potter Road second graders were honored to welcome local veterans. Veterans read a story to second graders and answered their questions. We are so grateful for the time that our visiting veterans spent with our students and their service and sacrifice to our country.
 

Great Things Happening at Potter!

Across our classrooms there are some awesome learning opportunities happening that align to our school wide commitments to high expectations for all students and our students making their thinking visible.

Please check out the photos shared below to see the excellent work happening in some of our classrooms! These photos showcase a small piece of the work that students are engaged in from hands on science experiments, project based learning as a culmination within an HMH unit of study, writing, and so much more!

Potter Road Spiritwear: Last Call to Order!

Potter Road has some exciting new spiritwear for students, families, and staff to purchase! The online store to purchase these items closes today. 

Attached in this newsletter are flyers showcasing the new spiritwear, as well as information on how to purchase the items. Additionally, the QR code can be accessed to purchase items as well.  
 

Cold Weather Reminders: Dressing for the Weather

During the colder winter months, Potter Road students do routinely go outside to recess when the conditions allow us to.

It is important that students are prepared to go out to recess by wearing the appropriate coat, hat, and gloves. When it snows, students should wear snow pants and boots in order to play in the snow.

We kindly ask that parents label their child's clothing (jackets, hats, etc.). This helps us return lost items to students in a timely manner. Thank you for your assistance.

Family Dashboard

Potter Road is pleased to share a family dashboard. The purpose of the family dashboard is to provide families with a place to access prior newsletters, school and district information, and other resources that we hope are helpful. It is 'one stop shopping' for families.

The dashboard will be constantly updated to help keep families informed. If a family would find a particular resource helpful, please do not hesitate to reach out to Mrs. Cyr to have this item updated.
