Good Afternoon,

Due to some minor flooding in one of our dismissal courtyards, the following dismissal locations will change for today, Tuesday, December 2nd:

  • All third-grade classes and Mr. Nash's class will dismiss out of Door P, which is located by the back gym doors (by the small driveway)

  • Ms. Reedy, Mrs. Burke/Ms. Costa, Ms. White and Mrs. Marocchi will dismiss out of Door U, which is the door we use for grades 3-5 during morning drop and go.

Please note that with so many classes utilizing the same doors, dismissal may take a few extra minutes today.  Your patience and understanding are greatly appreciated as always!

Best Regards,

Stephen Aspetti and Joyce Larkin

Good Morning Birch Lane Families,

It’s hard to believe that the holiday season is upon us once again. This season brings with it many exciting traditions that we look forward to each year. One such tradition is the sending of holiday cards to our friends and loved ones. As we do each year, we would like to invite all of our families to share their holiday cards with us. We will display these cards in our main lobby for all to enjoy. If you would like to participate, please place your card inside an envelope addressed to me and send it in with your child.

We are looking forward to an exciting holiday season here at Birch Lane!
