RES Newsletter

Welcome to April!

A month where we transition from winter weather to spring weather. Often times we are kept in limbo by mother nature, not knowing what to wear each day, boots, heavy coats or just a sweatshirt. This may resonate even more for some of you right now after hearing the result of the board meeting last night from the RES community. In my experience the unknown can be more difficult, yet that feeling of something ending and a new transition beginning can bring a variety of emotions, sadness, worry, excitement. No matter where you are in those feelings, you're not alone. We are here for all of you. If you need anything feel free to stop in, call or send an email.

Ben and his family made it to the VT Statehouse to see his art, along with the rest of the Ripton School Fourth Grade Art, which was selected to be displayed during the month of March at the Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier. Way to go Fourth Graders!

Dear Families of Fifth Graders,

Please join Bjarki Sears and me for an information session about Keewaydin Environmental Education Camp (KEEC) on April 7th at 6:00 at RES.

Fifth grade students will be attending KEEC the week of May 19-23 for the full week and staying overnight in the cabins. We will be talking about what the experience will be like and how to help prepare your fifth grader for their week at KEEC.

Please let us know if you are able to attend this meeting by emailing me at sogilvie@acsdvt.org

802 Smiles Dental Hygiene Program is returning this Spring to offer free dental screenings and preventative care to all ACSD students.

Please complete the forms below if you would like your child to participate in this event. Any student that was enrolled in the fall will automatically be on the list to receive services and does not need to fill out the forms again, but if you do not want your student to receive services in April, you should reach out to the school nurse to take them off the list.

Enrollment deadline is April 1st.
