We are pleased to announce that we have acquired TenMarks for use in grades 3-5 in all of our elementary schools! TenMarks is an online math program that provides students with an opportunity to practice the math concepts and skills that they learn about in class.
On TenMarks, your child can work independently on class concepts at any time within a
structured, flexible, and supportive platform. Students can work on assignments that their teachers make for them or they can practice skill "jam sessions" on their own.
Teachers will be sending home letters with your child's account information and your own parent login so that you can view their progress.
Feel free to contact Elizabeth Kaplan, Elementary Math/Science Coordinator with any questions. elizabeth.kaplan@watertown.k12.ma.us
Lowell STEM night planning
The Lowell school is fortunate to have generous funding from the Watertown Education Foundation and the Watertown Community Foundation for this year's Family STEM Night
The event is scheduled for Thursday, March 29th. We are looking for parent and teacher volunteers to help plan this great event. The committee will have one-two brief meetings in late February/early March Please email Elizabeth Kaplan, Elementary Math/Science Coordinator if you are able to help plan the event. elizabeth.kaplan@watertown.k12.ma.us

SAVE THE DATE
The Annual Lowell Online Auction is a month away. This is our largest fundraiser of the year, last year raising $20,000. This auction has grown over the years to include summer camps from all over, restaurants, business services, theater tickets, ski tickets, museum tickets, Yoga passes, Youth Sport registrations, Principal for the day, fifth grade front row graduation seats, music lessons with Mr. Spano and new this year we have many teachers volunteering to have lunch with students. We had over 300 items last year, there is so much to bid on.
Have something you can donate?
We are reaching out to our Lowell families to ask if you own or work for a business that would consider donating to our auction to please get in touch with us. Years past we've had photography sessions, estate planning, restaurant gift cards, salon services and so many other fantastic items our families have generously given. Have gift cards you received as gifts? Those too would be great.
More information will be coming out on how to register to bid and all the great items we've received. This auction is open to anyone anywhere so items don't have to be limited to Watertown (we had winning bids from Arizona last year).
Thank you for considering our auction!
