Dear Families,

The Barn Dance is a fun event for all ages with LIVE music by Rick Klein and Peter MacFarlane

with Lausanne Allen calling. All are welcome! Entry is by donation - pay what you can and

bring a friend. The more the merrier. Home-made dinner foods will be available for sale to fuel you on the dance floor (pastas, chilis, beverages & desserts) so come hungry! A portion of proceeds from door donations and food sales will go to the John Graham Shelter. Come one, come all!

4/5 back to school night: This was another successful, tender evening. Kat and the students had set up many stations for them to share with their parents. It was great again to see so many families puzzling over various activities together.

School Directory: Our school directory will be coming home with students today (10/10), you may also find it linked here.

NEASC/IB Visit to the School: Tuesday we had two members of the team join us at Weybridge. Leo McKenna and Maiya Drake started them off with a tour of the building. They then had an opportunity to observe classes, meet with the teachers, the 4/5 class, and with me and Joy Dobson, an ACSD curriculum coordinator and a former Weybridge teacher. They were incredibly impressed by the conversation they held with the 4/5 class about learning. I attended several district meetings with the full visiting team and it was confirmed at the final meeting that the district had achieved both NEASC accreditation and IB reauthorization.

Managing Screen Time - Wednesday, October 22th, 6-7:30

FOWE has been working to find a productive way to support folks who say they are struggling to manage "screen time" at home. Building on the efforts of other local community members in the phone-free school movement, and at the recommendation of a WES parent, we are exploring the book The Anxious Generation and related materials. If managing screen time is something you struggle with at home, and you'd like to connect with other folks to share and explore new strategies, we invite you to join us in a non-judgmental conversation around this issue. Our meeting will be guided by materials made available through the Screen Sanity organization. We hope to see you!

Lunch help: We need a volunteer for Wednesday next week! If you would like to volunteer, please sign up on this calendar. The next several weeks are filling up, but there are still days not covered. If you can look ahead and sign up through October it would be greatly appreciated. Your help is valuable!

Please email me cjohnston@acsdvt.org or call if you have any questions (802-545-3301).

Enjoy the crisp fall weekend. Best, Christina
