Later school start times

The School Committee has created a task force to look at beginning Amherst schools later or switching high/middle school start times with the elementary schools. The charge and membership of this task force is here. Research about the influence of later start times is available here.

YOUR input is very valuable and the task force wants to hear from you. Here is an elementary school family survey. Please share your thoughts on this issue.

April vacation camp through LSSE

Critters are the fun focus of the April vacation camp “Lions and Tigers and Bears” sponsored by Amherst LSSE.

Whether large or small with feathers or furs, the critters will visit the camp or students will visit them at the Magic Wings Butterfly Conservatory or the Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art. While the focus is on animals, other activities, such as sports and arts and crafts, are scheduled to keep the youngsters engaged and active.

The camp, for children in grades K-6, will be held April 19-22 at the Wildwood Elementary School from 8:30 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. Children should bring a healthy lunch and two healthy snacks per day.

A fee subsidy for income-eligible Amherst families is available. Residents interested in the tuition waver, up to 100%, should apply as soon as possible. Fee subsidies are also available for the LSSE summer camps that begin in June.

For information call Stacey Lecuivre, LSSE Youth Program Director at 259-3191 or visit: www.lsse.org
