Spring Street School

WELCOME!

We welcome you and your children to the Spring Street School. It has been a wonderful start to the school year and it is very exciting getting to know the preschool and kindergarten students and families. Strong communication between school and home is an important part of student success. This monthly newsletter is one way we communicate what is happening in the school. I welcome you to contact me with any concerns or questions during the year that your student's teacher cannot answer.

Have a wonderful school year!

STAYING IN TOUCH

Please feel free to contact teachers and staff by email. Email addresses can be found on our website.

DISMISSAL CHANGES/ABSENCE

If making any changes to your child’s usual dismissal, or to report an absence please call/email BOTH the classroom teacher and Mrs. Ellis. Mrs. Ellis can be reached at mellis@wbridgewater.com or by phone at 508-894-1233. This ensures everyone is aware of the change. It is also helpful to inform us of these changes before 2:00 as the office is a very busy place after that time. If notification is not received for an absence, a home phone call will be made to ensure the students safety.

EARLY RELEASE SEPTEMBER 28th

Our early dismissal time is 11:30 for bus and 11:40 for parent pickup. No lunch will be served and there will be no afternoon preschool.

OCTOBER 10th - Columbus Day- NO SCHOOL

SCHOOL COUNCIL

Please consider being part of the continuous effort to improve our school. Community input is needed in determining the direction of education for our young people. We are in need of parent volunteers for our Spring Street School Council this year. If you have a child at the school and would like to serve as a representative on the council, please contact us. Meetings generally last an hour or less and take place after school. It is a good way to be involved in the improvement of our school.

Kindergarten and Preschool

All meals are FREE but if you feel that your family is income eligible, please fill out the Household application that was sent home as you may qualify for additional benefits. Applications can be turned in to school- all information is kept strictly confidential.

Monthly lunch menu

Please click the Food Services page for the daily order forms. There is a google form for each day of the week. We ask that you complete orders at least the night before. Your student does not have to "buy" BOTH breakfast/snack and lunch. Any students without a snack or lunch from home will be offered a school meal!

Ms. Drayton's and Mrs. Dancey's preschool classes do not need to place a snack order. They will be supplied one.

Lunch will be served in the cafeteria where the students will eat. This is a great opportunity to familiarize students with how lunch is served in 1st grade. Students will make their own beverage selection as they enter the line. Ms. January, Ms. Karen, and Ms. Becky are so excited to see the children!

If you have any questions please reached out to me by email at agrinder@wbridgewater.com or by phone at (508)894-1220 ext. 1320.

Thank you!
