Eddy Elementary

Dear Parents, Caregivers, Staff, and Students of Eddy Elementary School:

Welcome back! I am thrilled to welcome our students and the entire Eddy community back to school! It is going to be a great 24-25 school year! We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday morning, September 3, 2024. Third grade students (and their siblings) are invited to the Brewster PTO's popsicles on the playground at Eddy on Monday, 9/2/24 from 3-4pm to meet classmates and for parents and caregivers to meet one another and the PTO. Like years past, students should plan to be at school each day by 7:40am, and breakfast is available before school (free for all, thanks to the Massachusetts Legislature). Students may be dropped off starting at 7:25am in the front circle, and school starts every day promptly at 7:45am with the pledge of allegiance, announcements, and a reminder of how to be Eddy R.E.A.D.Y.! This year, our priorities include: 

• Continuing our work building a strong and positive school community through our use of Eddy R.E.A.D.Y. to teach our core values of respect, empathy, accountability, determination, and your best;

• Building a school community where everyone belongs and feels welcomed and supported;

• Providing deep learning opportunities for students that are both rigorous and engaging;

• Celebrating and sharing the amazing work our students and staff do every day at Eddy Elementary School;

• Expanding our communication through social media, podcasts, videos, and our new Nauset website - and if you don't yet, please be sure to follow Eddy on Instagram: http://instagram.com/eddyelementary; 

• Beginning the process of rolling out our new ELA curriculum (it officially goes 100% live for all a year from now, September 2025, and we will begin the rollout process this school year).
