Dear Greenwood Families,

Happy Tuesday!  I hope that everyone enjoyed the long weekend, and that we’re all ready for another busy week of learning together.  Stay safe, stay healthy, and let’s do this!

Report Card Information

A few folks have asked about when report cards will be shared with families.  The end of Term 1 is Friday, January 29th, and report cards will be available to families on Friday, February 12th.  

Kindergarten Registration

Do you have a child who will be entering Kindergarten in the fall of 2021?  Do you know someone else who does?  Kindergarten Registration for the 2021-2022 school year will begin this month (date TBD), with initial registration taking place online due to COVID restrictions.  More information will be available on the Wakefield Public School website soon.  Be on the lookout!

Health Reminder 

Once again, we are reminding everyone to support us in our efforts to keep everyone safe by practicing and promoting safety precautions, which include hand hygiene, mask-wearing, social distancing, and avoiding group gatherings and travel to high-risk states where the rates of transmission are high (here is a link to the MA Travel Guidelines, in case a need to travel out of state arises). We are also asking for you to keep children home if they are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

  • Fever of 100.0 or higher, and/or chills

  •  Cough (not due to other known cause such as chronic cough, asthma, allergies)

  •  Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath

  • New loss of taste or smell

  • Sore throat

  • Headache when in combination with other symptoms

  • Muscle aches or body aches

  • Nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea

  • Fatigue when in combination with other symptoms

  • Nasal congestion or runny nose when in combination with other symptoms and not due to other known  causes such as allergies

  • Unusual rash when in combination with other symptoms

Our school nurse, Mrs. Doherty, is always happy to answer any questions you may have or provide clarification.

Technology Support

Please email the WPS Tech Department at technology@wpsk12.org if your child is in need of technology support while at home. 


As always, please do not hesitate to reach out with questions.  Thank you for everything you do to support your children and their learning!
