Bridport Community Newsletter

Happy Sunday!

Friday's Spaghetti Dinner was such a blast! Thank you to all those who came and a special thank you to the folks who volunteered and donated! The proceeds fund activities and events for our students, and your support is so appreciated.

It was awesome to see so many people mingling, laughing and sharing a meal together. Events like these are one of the many reasons why Bridport & Shoreham are such amazing communities to be a part of.

As we speed into November, and the holiday season approaches- please do not hesitate to reach out to school with any questions.

In partnership,
Jenny

• As the weather gets colder, please make sure students are dressed for the weather and have all their outdoor gear. We go outside in all temps unless its 0 or below.
• If there is a change to your child(ren)'s afterschool plans please call or email Irene before 2PM any phone calls or emails after that time add extra stress to the dismissal process.
• Please be careful in the parking lot during arrival and dismissal times, it can be very busy and we want to make sure everyone arrives and leaves school safely

Our students worked so hard on different designs for this year's t-shirt. Its been fun to see their ideas!

If you'd like to vote on your favorite- you may do so below! (I think it will work! 🤞)

This month, our Learner Profile Trait is principled. Being principled means doing the right thing even when no one is watching, being a role model, being honest & fair, and acting with integrity. At all school meeting on Friday, we talked about what that means and students gave eachother shout outs for times they saw eachother being principled. The following students were students of the week for showing the trait all week long!

I'm looking forward to seeing who will be the student of the week next!

Hi Everyone,

Currently we have hip hop dance at Bridport and the kids are having a blast!

Thank you for coming to our annual holiday bazaar on Sunday. This is a great fundraiser and supports local vendors.

Next up is basketball. Please note 20 kids per session allowed due to the gym space. As always if you would like your kid to play email shorehamrecdeptvt@gmail.com, message the Town of Shoreham Recreational Department or Molly Kerr on Facebook. Kids need their Shoreham shirt and a waiver to participate.

Want to assist in coaching, please reach out as we always need more help.

March 2027 we are planning to once again offer gymnastics 2yr-K @ Shoreham and hip hop dance @ Bridport.

Thanks

Molly

Across our district, we are facing significant transportation challenges caused by driver shortages on multiple bus routes. You can find revised bus routes here based on Week 1 changes, and also in your principal’s newsletters. We hope the changes we made in Week 1 will offer stability moving forward and we will continue to make adjustments as needed and hope to get back to our normal bus routes as quickly as possible. However, we are also working to capture the full impact this challenge has had on our families as we escalate this situation to the the Secretary of Education and BetCha’s parent company, STA. Please use this form to document the impact any bus disruptions had on your family so that we can act on and/or pass along the information as we seek resolution.
