Celebrating 100 Days of Student Learning through the Arts: THANK YOU to all the families who continue to support and celebrate the importance of arts education in our school! It was a proud moment to see work hung outside our school for all of our community to view! The students are proud to share their work and we are grateful to the teachers who provide them with these daily opportunities! If you were unable to make this event you can check out our PowerPoint here and/or still make a donation at https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/curleyk8 If you have questions or would like to get involved in the Art Committee please email Katrina katrina.brink@gmail.com.

Spirit Week: The Curley K-8 Student Government Elective is excited to announce our first Spirit Week! We encourage staff and student participation and this event is being organized by our middle school student leaders! Any questions please contact Ms. Reider (mreider@bostonpublicchools.org) the teacher leading this elective.

Cafeteria Updates: We are thrilled to announce that we have returned to cooking in our kitchen! There are no more pre-packaged meals! Each day we are offering hot menu choices as well as a salad bar! March menus are linked here.

Family COVID Protocol Visual: We recognize that processing and understanding COVID protocols is incredibly overwhelming. The Curley Family Engagement Committee created a visual to try to support and help families to better understand what is happening at school and if your child tests positive for COVID 19. We hope you find this useful! If policies change we will update these visuals.
