Principal's Newsletter

SCS band and chorus students welcomed the Shoreham and Weybridge band and chorus students for their first of two combined rehearsals. The three-schools combined concert will be Tuesday, February 10th. Mark your calendars!

The 1st graders are experts at digraphs. And Ms. Rubright and Mrs. Hayes were wearing nearly matching t-shirts from their favorite kindergarten teacher comedian, Josh King.

It is with mixed emotions that we share the news of Lili Foster’s retirement from full time teaching at the end of this school year. We are so excited she has reached this major milestone (retirement!) yet are very sorry she will be leaving Salisbury Community School. She started teaching in Salisbury in 1991 --before the current school was even built. She’s dedicated 38 years of service to teaching, first as a classroom teacher and then as an academic interventionist. Her academic expertise and tireless work ethic have impacted countless students over the years. Words cannot express how grateful we are for all she’s done for SCS and ACSD.

Ms Foster's first class at SCS in 1991. Can you recognize these former students?!

Salisbury School staff picture. Can you recognize these veteran teachers?!

We're excited to welcome Milo Rees to our SCS School community. He will be helping out in classrooms and supervising our Extended Day Program. We're so glad he's decided to work with our students and staff this semester!

In the case of unexpected changes in the bus schedule/route or the day’s schedule (due to inclement weather or other unexpected events), I will send a text alert out to families through our School Messenger system. We were made aware earlier this week that parents need to “opt in” to receive these texts. Please follow the steps below to register your cellphone with School Messenger if you have not been receiving my texts yet.

In November, the ACSD Board voted to educate Shoreham and Bridport together at Bridport school beginning in August 2026. The Shoreham building will also begin a new chapter, educating preschool students. We want to share the principal update with all members of our community:

• Jenny Urban will continue as the full-time principal at Bridport Central School, and Lashawn Whitmore-Sells will join her as a 0.5 principal.

• Principal Whitmore-Sells will also be the preschool administrator at Shoreham, working with our preK team to stabilize and grow our early childhood programming by relocating our Bridport PreK classroom to Shoreham Elementary School, expanding preK offerings, and exploring birth-to-3 partnerships to best serve our communities.

• Principals Urban and Whitmore-Sells both bring exceptional care for our students and staff, and we are incredibly lucky to benefit from their expertise as we move forward.
