  • Happy and Safe Halloween

    A Message from your school nurses Halloween is such an exciting time for children. They love dressing up in costumes, going trick or treating, and reaping the rewards of candy. Halloween is meant for fun, but kids should also stay safe as well. Halloween is a fun time for children, but safety must be prioritized to prevent accidents. Inspecting candy is crucial; parents should check for any signs of tampering or unusual items. Costume safety is important; ensure costumes are free from toxic materials and have reflective elements for visibility. Supervision is key for young trick-or-treaters; always have an adult present to ensure safety. If a mask is worn on Halloween , make sure the eye holes are big enough to see not only in front, but peripherally as well. Parents may have to cut the eyeholes more themselves if vision is obstructed by a costume mask. Be  Safe  and have  fun !

  • Supplemental Low Income Data Collection

    Dear Families, As you may know, our school districts receive additional state and local funding to support learning for students whose families are identified as low income. The Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) identifies most of these students already, by identifying students who receive public assistance, but not all. We are sending you this form because you have a child enrolled in  one of our districts.   All families have been sent this form letter from DESE but not all families will qualify.   We are asking you to complete this form to assist us in identifying all eligible students and thereby securing more state and local funding for our schools.   We are trying to make sure we properly identify all eligible students. Please be aware that this is a voluntary process.  Families are not required to submit this information. If you need assistance completing any portion of the form or gathering other required information, please contact: •    Dennett Elementary School: 781.585.3659 // pveneto@slrsd.org •    Halifax Elementary School: 781.293.2581 //brianprehna@slrsd.org •    Integrated Preschool: 781.585.4382  •    Kingston Elementary School: 781.585.3821 // kerriwhipple@slrsd.org •    Kingston Intermediate School: 781.585.0472 // andrewmaterna@slrsd.org  •    Silver Lake Regional Middle School: 781.582.3555 // beckycouet@slrsd.org •    Silver Lake Regional High School: 781.585.3844 // mgill@slrsd.org The information that families provide on this form and any supporting documentation will be kept  by the school district and only used by the district or the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education to verify household income to determine the state and local funding that the school district will receive . IMPORTANT: This Supplemental Low-Income Data Collection Form is not an application for free or reduced-price school meals.  Please follow the steps outlined in the included form below to complete the form and return it along with the required supporting documentation to your child’s school by October 1, 2025.   Electronic copies of the form or supporting documentation unfortunately cannot be accepted. Thank you for your help with this optional data collection! Sincerely, Dr. Jill A. Proulx Superintendent Silver Lake Regional School District and Union #31
