Cutler School Council

The School Council is a part of every school in Massachusetts. It is a group made up of the building principal (in our case at least one), teachers, parents, and potentially community members. The School Council helps to draft the School Improvement Plan and identify the educational needs of the school. It can also serve as a sounding board for new initiatives. Our School Council has 3 spots available for family members.

The council meets 4 times per year (September, December, March, and May/June). We're looking to meet on Tuesdays from 11:15-12:30. The first meeting would be on Tuesday, September 28.

If you are interested in serving on the School Council, please let Ed Kaufman, Co-Interim Principal, e.kaufman@hwschools.net know by the afternoon of Tuesday, September 21. Please include your name and 3-5 sentences about how you would like to represent Cutler families. If w have more than three people interested, we will need to have an election and these blurbs will be a part of the ballot.

Partnerships with parents and the community are an important aspect of strong and compassionate school communities.

Please let Ed know if you have any questions.

Cutler Library

The Cutler Library needs a couple of people willing to help organize the library and shelve returned books. Open times are Tuesday 8:30-3:00. Just 20 minutes of your time would help our books be ready for our students to check out.

Also, it is never too late to return a library book! Please look at home for any Cutler books that can be returned. Please contact Mrs. Hebert, h.hebert@hwschools.net.

For New to Cutler School Families

Please join us for a New Family Coffee on Wednesday, September 29 at 9am. It will be held outside at the gazebo on the back playground. Come meet our school principals, Rebecca Butler and Ed Kaufman, and learn more about our Cutler community Coffee and muffins will be provided by Friends of Cutler. We hope to see you there!
