Principal's Message
Dear Zeh Families,
Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be taking the ELA MCAS this upcoming week. To help everything run as smoothly as possible, we appreciate your support in ensuring your child is at school, if they are able, and arrives on time each day. Starting promptly and minimizing make-up sessions helps reduce disruptions to the overall school schedule. We know the students will do great, and we’re looking forward to seeing all they have learned!
A reminder that there is no school tomorrow in observance of Good Friday. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
Mr. Bell

Engineers on the Go: For students in grades 3-5
April school vacation is the perfect time to introduce your future scientist or engineer to STEM in a fun and interactive way! Students will learn about the engineering design process from WPI Engineering Ambassadors, and then take part in hands-on activities led by WPI graduate and undergraduate students and special guest facilitators. Throughout the morning, students will gain a better understanding of what engineers do and how it impacts the real world. They will leave with the confidence to explore new opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics!
