From the principal
Dear great people,
Fall has come quickly and with it, cool and wet weather. Checking the weather before you leave the house and guiding your child to bring appropriate layers will help them be prepared for all kinds of New England weather. Our kids have been very eager to rake, throw and play with the beautiful maple leaves.
Our October All School is Wednesday, 10/14 from 10:15-11. You are invited to attend the event and watch our students lead the school through the meeting. A handful of 5th and 6th graders will present the slogan work and students will vote on the choices to help us pick our school year writing catch phrase.
Next week, parent DIBELs reports will go home for all students giving you the beginning of year benchmark literacy data. A letter will accompany that and you are encouraged to reach out to me, Mrs. Todd, or your child's special education or classroom teacher with questions and concerns.
Take care,
Amber Tulloch

Keeping our students, staff, and community healthy

4H Information
"Dear 4H Parents,
Some clubs are starting next week and we are missing some forms from you. In order for your child to start their chosen clubs we need to have completed forms and payment. If we do not have those your child will not be allowed to stay.
We also still have room in some of the clubs, if your child still would like to join a club we have space in the following: Animal Science, Amazing Planet, Pins & Needles (5th-6th only).
You can still pick up blank forms from the Front Office.
Thank you,
Liz Billings & Sheila Litchfield"
