Principal's Weekly Update #33
June 5, 2026
Dear Wales Families,
The next few weeks will be full of fun activities like field day and picnics. For our children who thrive on routine, structure, and predictability, this can be an especially challenging time. To support your child you might find it helpful to review any special schedules/events with them the night before, ensure they get a good nights rest and support them in drinking plenty of water. Please feel free to reach out to your child's teacher or our school counselor if you feel your child could use some additional support as we navigate through the last month of school.
Your child brought home a bookmark this week with information about a summer reading challenge. Assemblyman David DiPietro is holding his Annual Summer Reading Challenge to help encourage good reading habits and continuing learning this summer and beyond! This year's theme is "Unearth a Story". This program is in conjunction with the New York State Assembly and Summer Reading at New York Libraries. All students in grades (K-5) living in the 147th Assembly District during the 2025-2026 school year are eligible. Students who pledge and complete reading for at least 15 minutes each day for at least 40 days during the months of July and August will be presented a New York State Assembly Excellence in Reading Certificate. Registration can be completed using this link: https://bit.ly/DIPIETROSRC26
