BOOTH HILL SCHOOL

📬 Dear Booth Hill Families,

Even though it was a shortened week, our Bobcats didn't miss a beat! It was another fantastic, high-energy week of learning across all grade levels. From engaging classroom discussions to hands-on learning activities, our students made every single day count. (See pictures below!)

I also want to extend a huge thank-you to our incredible Father’s Club for hosting yet another outstanding BBQ last Friday! It was such a wonderful evening filled with great food, fun, and community spirit. Seeing so many families gathering, relaxing, and enjoying each other's company is a wonderful reminder of what makes the Booth Hill community so special. Thank you to everyone who came out and to all the volunteers who worked so hard to make it a success! (See pictures below!)

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support and partnership in your child's education. Stay safe this weekend. I hope you all have a restful and wonderful weekend!

Warmly,

Kevin Chase

Fourth graders have been learning about the Earth's layers in Science. Today, they made a model of the 4 layers using a marble (inner core) and Play-Doh to represent the next 3 layers (outer core, mantle, and crust). Like all good scientists, they then reflected on their work and recorded their observations!

Multiplication games in third grade. Circles and stars!

Students in grades 3–5 will have the opportunity to participate in our exciting Battle of the Books competition! Sign-ups will take place during library classes over the next couple of weeks. Students who choose to participate will receive a Battle folder with additional information and details to take home next month. We are especially excited to begin this tradition with our 3rd graders this year! We can’t wait to see our Bobcats reading, working together, and putting their book knowledge to the test! Please reach out to Mrs. Armstrong with any questions.

Car Drop-off and Pick-Up

Please stay as far to the right side of the entry when arriving for morning drop-off. Staff need to be able to pass by to enter the parking lot.

To help our dismissal run smoothly and safely for all students, please be in the back car pick-up line by 3:20 PM if you are picking up by car. We’ve noticed arrival times are gradually getting later, which delays the line and impacts everyone’s afternoon schedule. Being in line by 3:20 allows us to dismiss students efficiently and keeps the process calm and predictable for children.

Please turn off your vehicle if you arrive early to drop-off or pick-up. Idling is prohibited.

Thank you for partnering with us to keep dismissal safe and smooth!

I must have a weekend immune system.

2026-2027 Family Handbook

Please remember to take time to read our handbook.

Labeling Items

We encourage families to label items such as water bottles, lunch boxes and outerwear with a name so that if they are misplaced they can be returned quickly to students.

A Note from the Transportation Department

The start of school is a busy time of year and our priority is that all students are assigned a bus stop location before the start of school and that stop concerns are resolved quickly. This is a reminder that all requests for bus stop changes or bus stop concerns need to be submitted online using our Transportation Action Report found by clicking the hyperlink CLICK HERE. For immediate assistance, you can reach the Transportation Department at 203-452-4321.

Lost Items on the Bus: Any items left on the bus are brought to the Bus Depot at the end of the day. Please call Durham at 203-261-4329.

Parent pick-up: Visitors are prohibited from entering school grounds during school hours without checking in at the main office. The earliest that we authorize cars to enter cueing for pick-up is 2:45. Additionally, small barricades have been placed right near the storage trailer to prevent cars from traveling any further until Mr. T moves them at 3:00. Do not attempt to turn left off of Booth Hill Road into the school driveway. Proceed straight and join at the end of the line. This will allow us to maintain a safe and secure environment for our children.
