• Please join the School Committee at their spring Open House scheduled for this Saturday, March 15th from 9:00 until 11:00 a.m. in the Community Room at the Needham Public Library. This is an informal opportunity for parents and members of the community to meet your School Committee members, ask a question, or share an idea. School Committee members are looking forward to your comments and feedback as they work to encourage clear and frequent communication, support school programs, and improve student learning. Please drop in for a few minutes and join them for a cup of coffee and conversation this Saturday morning!

• With more parents using the district and school websites for information and communication with teachers and schools, we are working to make those vehicles as clear and helpful as possible. So that we can better understand what you would like to be able to access on the websites, we invite you to complete a simple, 3-question survey sometime over the next few days. Click on this link to complete the brief survey: http://www.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?id=897204 Thanks in advance for your input.

As always, please feel free to contact me at 781.455.0400, x203 or dan_gutekanst@needham.k12.ma.us if you have questions, comments, or ideas.
