Dear Needham Public Schools Families:

Allow me to share some updates as we begin a new week:

•  Visitor Protocol  Beginning  Tuesday, November 9th, we are allowing limited and essential visitors into school during the school day to conduct school/student-related business.  All visitors will need to complete a health attestation either before they arrive at school or once inside but before they begin their parent meeting, etc.  You may read the visitor protocol here and review the health attestation form here. 

• Vaccine Clinic  In partnership with Town of Needham Public Health, we will be sponsoring vaccine clinics for students ages 5-11 at Pollard on Saturday, November 13th and another on Saturday, November 20th.  Please register here: Pollard Vaccine Clinics. 

• Family Health and Safety Open House  I will host a Family Health and Safety Open House via Zoom on Tuesday, November 9th from 5:30 until 6:30 p.m.  Please join me and some of our public health partners to discuss COVID-19 updates and information.

• Superintendent's Blog  My latest post explains how parents and families can become informed and get involved in the Needham Public Schools.  Please take a few minutes to check it out: Superintendent's Blog:  Hey, Parents: Let's Get Involved!

As always, thanks for your partnership.

Respectfully,
