Family Open House: Thursday, September 26th

Our Open House for all families will take place on Thursday, September 26th from 5–7pm. We hope all families can come out, meet the teachers, and hear about what your child will learn this year!

Parking for Family Drop Off or Pick Up

Please note that parking can be more difficult at drop off and pick up times. Parking lots are for staff and our buses line up along the school side of the street on Pershing Road and Centre Street. It helps arrival/dismissal move more efficiently when families adhere to these parking procedures. Thank you!

Guide to BPS

New this year, the Boston Public Schools is encouraging families to view the annual “Guide to the Boston Public Schools” and fill out the necessary back-to- school forms by accessing the BPS website at www.bostonpublicschools.org/familyguide.

The Guide is available in English and nine other languages. This helpful guidebook contains summaries of many of the district’s policies, programs, and services.

A separate booklet contains forms that need to be completed by parents, or students 18 or over. The online form is available at www.bostonpublicschools.org/contact.

We encourage you to go online to complete the form for each of your children as soon as possible. A limited number of the printed guides, as well as booklets containing the forms, will be available at our school office for the families of students who are new to the district or do not have access to the Internet. We thank you for your cooperation.

A Note from the Curley Nurses

• Please submit in your child’s submit most recent physicals, immunization forms and emergency forms.
• If your child requires medication to be administered at school like an EpiPen for allergies or inhaler for asthma, please bring in the medications with doctor’s orders. Without a doctor’s order we cannot give any medications at school.
• An adult is required to bring medication into the school not a student, as a safety precaution. Medications with the exception of emergency medications are only to administered by a nurse. If families have any questions or concerns, please contact the nurses or administrative staff.
• Starting Monday September 17th to 21st, eye and ear screenings will take place for students Grades 1 thru 5.
