Last week, the fourth graders took a trip to the Pequot Museum! They got to enjoy an educational trip where they explored Native American history, culture, and traditions. Thank you again to our chaperones that signed up to help make this experience fun and enriching for our students!

The fifth graders had the opportunity to attend the Coast Guard Band's annual School Concert Series. It was a great opportunity for our students to see a world-class 50 piece Concert Band.

Mrs. Dalton is asking for leftover Halloween candy, specifically DOTS gumdrops for a future STEM project. Thanks for donating!

As you know, we have shifted our student information forms online to PowerSchool. These forms are more than paperwork. They contain important information about your child and your family's wishes, including whether you give permission for your child's image to appear in photographs, videos, newsletters, and other school communications. Completing the forms helps us protect student privacy, keep information accurate, and honor the choices you make for your child. If you haven't already, please log in to PowerSchool, review your child's information and annual notifications, and complete all outstanding forms. If accessing through your mobile device, please enter the following district code GKMP. Below are two images of what to expect and we have attached a letter for your reference.
