"You Belong Here"
March 30, 2024
Principal's Note
This week at SES was filled with moments of joy, togetherness and growth. We celebrated birthdays, made clay pots in Art, and spent lots of time in the mud!
Here are some other highlights of the week:
- 5th Graders are deep into their Exhibition Work. They have self-chosen topics and concepts that feel important to them based on the UN Sustainability Goals. For example, some groups are researching Invasive Species, livable wages and animal abuse. They are feeling passionate about the new knowledge they are gaining- and have so many questions! If you are interested in becoming a mentor for this process- reach out to Jenny Muskopf.
- In 4th grade they finishing up Sharing the Planet with a presentation to friends and family! They worked hard on slideshows about different natural disasters and their effect on people and communities. They were SO PROUD to share their hard work. Kudos!
- Finally- All Students partcipated in our first revamped community time! This looked like students in mixed age groups learning literacy games, baking, cleaning and building. It was SO fun!
Thank you for all your support of our students

Preschool Enrollment
If you have a child who will be 3 by Sept 1, 2024 and needs preschool placement, please fill out the preschool interest survey by the end of March. ACSD has two school-based programs: Mary Hogan and Bridport. Space is extremely limited, so we also encourage you to consider other preschool options. ACSD partners with prequalified private preschool programs to pay tuition for 10 hours/week, 35 weeks/year of preschool. This means your child could receive a tuition discount at a private preschool. Your first step is to enroll with the program directly. They will help you to complete the preschool tuition paperwork. Visit this site for more about which local programs have met the quality standards for partnership or contact Meg Baker at mbaker@acsdvt.org or 382-0045

VTCAP Information
Starting this Tuesday, students in grades 3-5 will be engaging in a standardized test called VTCAP. A letter was sent out earlier last week. If you did receive it, let Irene know ASAP
Our students will be working hard to show their skills and knowledge on this important assessment. We are looking for donations of healthy snacks in those rooms. (Think oranges, apples, cheese sticks etc). If you are able- please reach out to your child's teacher directly.
