Dear Families,

What a relaxed, mellow week! Everyone settled in so beautifully. We were even graced by a heron flying low over the playground during Thursday afternoon recess. We are so fortunate to live where we can experience such beauty together.

Staffing update: I forgot to mention last week that Linda Smith has rejoined the staff for the first three weeks of school. She is working primarily in the 4/5 room. Also, as the district struggles to cover both substitute and staff shortage gaps, we will be sharing Courtney Aucoin, special educator and interventionist, with Cornwall for the next 2-3 weeks. Courtney will be at Weybridge M-F in the mornings.

Lunch volunteers: We had full volunteer coverage this week and hope that many of you will volunteer over the school year in this capacity. Next week we need volunteers for Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. If you can volunteer for a day next week or later in the month, please email Christina at cjohnston@acsdvt.org . The time commitment runs 11:00-12:00.

Have a restful long weekend.

Christina

Quick reminder to return the beginning of the year forms as soon as possible. Thank you to all the families who have returned them already. I so appreciate your timeliness.

The link to the bus routes are below and on the ACSD website. Please be waiting at your stop 5 minutes before the approximate bus stop time. Younger students will need their parent at pick up and drop off.

My name is Dani Girard and I am so excited to be joining the Weybridge Elementary School community! This is my fourth year of school nursing and I’m happy to be joining ACSD where I went to school. I love hiking, sailing, reading and being a part of the great Vermont community. Looking forward to meeting you all!

Remember for the first day of school that if your student has an emergency medication that needs to be at school (inhaler or epipen) or takes a daily medication at school, then the school needs a signed medical note from the students PCP to accept it and give it to your student. Medications must be in original packaging and brought in by an adult.

Please review the 2024-2025 health guidelines and let me know if you have any questions!

Updated health information can be found on the health tab on the ACSD website.
