The Weekly Update #4

Dear Missituk Families,

Welcome Back! September always brings a special kind of energy to our school with the excitement of new beginnings.

As we settle into the rhythm of the school year, we would like to share a few ideas on how we can partner to make this year successful.:

Attending school and being on time.

• One of the most powerful ways to set your child up for success is to get them to school on time.

This helps students settle in, greet their friends, and feel more connected at the start of the day.

Our school day starts at 8:25 with the late bell st 8:35. Students can arrive after 8:10 when there is supervision in the playground.

Connect with the classroom teacher.

• Your classroom teacher is your most important partner this school year.

Read newsletters and emails and reach out early if you have any concerns.

Please be sure you have connected to TalkingPoints and all telephone numbers adn emails are up to date.

Thank you for trusting us with your children. When families and schools work together, children thrive. Please do not hesitate to reach out by phone or email if you have any questions.

Warmest regards,

Nancy Sherman-Hudson, Principal

Katie Fiumara, Assistant Principal

Our October Newsletters will have grade level messages to help keep famies up to date in what his happening in our classrooms.
