Confidentiality Meeting with the Principal
As you are probably aware, if you'd like to volunteer at school, such as chaperone a field trip or help in the classroom, you must complete a CORI form at the Burlington Central Office and attend a confidentiality meeting with the principal. There are many field trips fast approaching and the carnival is just around the corner. We have scheduled a confidentiality meeting for this Friday, January 27, at 9:00am in the main office. Additional confidentiality meetings will be scheduled as we get closer to the carnival. As always, please contact the main office if you have any questions.

A Focus on Classical Music - "Orchestrating Kids"
This year at Francis Wyman, the music department decided to expose our students to as much classical music as possible. This started by playing classical music over the loudspeaker every morning as the students enter the building. Already students have been exposed to composers such as Bach, Tchaikovsky and Copland. We also are teaching the students about form and themes found in music through our daily Move It, also done to classical music.
This project is continuing through an outside program called Orchestrating Kids through Classics. On Tuesday, four musicians visited the 3rd graders of Francis Wyman Elementary school to share their musical talents. The children were excited to see the quartet perform. We were visited by a violinist, violist, clarinetist and tuba player. The children were able to see the four perform as a group as well as individual as the musicians talked about different composers as well as the families of instruments. We were complimented on our student’s knowledge, wonderful questions as well as their superb behavior throughout the entire performance. The next phase of this program is in the form of a field trip. The 3rd graders will be visiting the Lexington Symphony Orchestra to see a classical concert developed for children. We our excited for the upcoming adventure!
We would like to thank both the Burlington Education Foundation as well as the Massachusetts Cultural Council for supporting our upcoming program through grants. Due to their generosity, the entire 3rd grade will be able to participate without cost.
