Ms. Bach and Ms. Ankuda are pleased to announce the first Peabody Family Folk dance on Wednesday, April 15 at 6PM in the gym, thanks to generous support from Friends of Peabody.

Here is your chance to enjoy folk dancing just as it is intended: In a casual, celebratory,
intergenerational setting with live music! Read more >>

Math Carnival and Spaghetti Supper
After families enjoyed a healthy spaghetti dinner together, students participated in educational math activities and games. The night was a huge success and fun for all.
Professional Development Update
This year, the district invited school leadership teams to participate in on-going professional development. Ms. Ford, Ms. Varella, and Ms. Vecchiarello attended multiple sessions throughout the school year joining in the rich dialogue of the course “Analyzing Teaching for Student Results”. The course, along with on-going consultancy, is the work of John Saphier and Research for Better Teaching (RBT). Read more >>
Do Peabody students enjoy reading?
We were curious to find out just how much our students enjoy reading so we asked them to fill out the Children’s Motivation Survey by Mazzoni, S.A., Gambrell, L.B., & Korkeamaki, R.L. View the Results >>
All School Share...What are they?
All School Share is a monthly event that you are always invited to join us at. We gather in the Auditorium and each grade prepares something to perform that they are currently learning about in class. This may be songs, poems, mini plays, writing or projects the class decides to share.
View the tentative schedule for the rest of the year >>

Please do not park behind the school or in the library lot for drop-off. It presents a serious risk to our students. Thank you for your cooperation.

Please do not enter the school from any other door than the
Main Entrance. We value the safety of our students and staff.
Our best way to know who is in the building is by people only
