Exciting Times at Revere!

We are looking forward to some exciting times at Revere in the next few months. Clubs are being organized and implemented at lunch on different days during the week. Teacher-sponsors are planning activities and challenges for their new members. Our clubs range from tennis, sports, dance/cheer to mini academic decathlon, chess, engineering, and sci fi. The “Best Buddies” are now known as “The Circle of Friends”. Students eagerly await signing up for the club of their choice.

Charter Renewal is moving along. We were informed by the Charter Office, on Monday, October 5 that the renewal document is due to the facilitator on October 30. Writing is continuing at a frantic pace. Many thanks to the sub-committee from Charter Council that is working so diligently to complete the document: Polly Bamberger, Allison Polhill, Meredith Abber, Kim Uchida, Paul Foxson, Steve Anderson, Ben Meritt and yours’ truly.  

Back-to-School Night will be held on Thursday, October 15. I hope everyone is planning on attending this very informative event. During the evening parents/guardians will experience a sample (much shorter) school day. Everyone will attend the same classes your children attend during the school day. Teachers will introduce their curriculum and the textbooks your children utilize every day. However this event is not a time for personal conferencing with teachers. If you would like a conference with your child’s teachers you may sign up during Back-to-School Night, or call the main office and Ms. Champion will schedule one for you.

The new website is up and running. Please take a look at the many activities and events Revere has to offer you and your child.
