Welcome to the Flaherty School website. Letters will be mailed home with classroom assignments . They will be delivered to the Post Office Friday, August 27. We expect they will arrive at your home on Saturday, Aug. 28 or Monday, Aug. 30. School Opens for Students in Grades 1-5 on Wednesday, September 1. Kindergarten Information  Getting Adjusted To School School Lunch Information
Children many times feel more relaxed at the beginning of the school year when they know what is going to happen. This information about lunch may be helpful. Students may buy lunch or bring their lunch. On the first day of school, everyone will order lunch in their classroom. The teachers will explain the process. After the first day, we will start to develop the morning routine of ordering lunch. There are actually two routines, one for students in Grades 1&2, and another for older students. If they are going to buy lunch, students need to order lunch at the beginning of the school day so we know how many lunches to have available. For students in grades 1 and 2, they will order and pay for their lunch right when they arrive at school. they go to the lunch lady and order their lunch. It is easiest for them to pay for their lunch if the money is in a plastic bag or a small change purse. At lunch time, all they have to do is pick up their lunch and bring it to their lunch table. Easy! Please be assured that the first grade teachers stay with their students until everyone is settled and comfortable. The cafeteria ladies are very sensitive to the needs of our new first graders. You will be amazed how quickly the students pick up the routine. Students in Grades 3,4 and 5 will order their lunch in their classrooms. They will pay for their lunch when they pick up their tray in the cafeteria at lunch time. Children may pay as they go, or parents may put an amount of money in their child's "account". Our computerized system does a very good job of keeping track of the balance. What if a child forgets his/her lunch money? We don't want anyone to be hungry so students may charge lunch. They may charge up to four lunches ($8.00). If students buy their lunch, milk is included in the cost of the lunch. If children bring their lunch, they may buy milk in the lunchroom. Milk is $.50. We will have ice cream on Thursdays for $.50. On other days we will have a selection of snacks for $.50. Unfortunately, we do not allow students to charge ice cream or snacks. We send a lunch menu home each month. It is also posted on the Braintree Schools web site and also on this web site under the "Menu" tab on the left.
 Consider getting involved with the PTO this year! You can do as much or as little as you want, depending on your schedule. Your $10 membership helps fund Cultural Arts programs, teacher supplies, and various other important school activities. If you are available, meetings are on the first Wednesday of every month at 7pm and seldom last an hour. It's a great way to find out what's going on in the school and meet other parents. Even if you can't attend the meetings, there are multiple ways to help out on an as-needed basis with specific fundraisers and activities. Below are the forms for membership and volunteering. You can also email the PTO and have your name added to their email distribution. Suggestions or comments about this site can be sent to flahertyschool@hotmail.com
