Principal's Newsletter

Mr. Bernhardt had his last day as our PE teacher on Thursday. We will miss him, but are glad he'll be around in different subbing roles whenever possible. Thank you for being a great PE teacher, Mr. B!

Fifth graders earned a class-wide celebration and had Pajama Day and a movie last Friday. What a cozy bunch!

Kindergarteners and Fifth graders are "Buddies" and enjoy spending time together at recess and one morning a week in the Kindergarten classroom.

First graders are readers! They're reading books with open and closed syllable words, based on their phonics lessons from the week. Way to go, First Graders!

The third graders had lots of fun with leaf art this week in Art class. We welcomed Ms. Flinn to SCS after being out for the first part of the year. We are looking forward to learning from her and are super grateful to Ms. Gombosi for filling in until she could start.

Fourth graders had a chilly but fun field trip to the Dead Creek Wildlife Refuge in Addison this week. They explored the area, watched the birds and even watched as one was banded for further science research.

The district is working on finding a new way for us to link teacher newsletters to the weekly update. Due to the restrictions on sharing Google Docs and PDFs in Google Drive, we need to find a new way to share classroom news. Thanks for your patience!

The Salisbury Community School Student Council is designed to empower young leaders and ensure students are an engaged part of their school community. The Student Council will serve as a bridge between the student body and the faculty, ensuring that even the youngest voices are heard.

We will meet with all returning student council representatives on Wednesday morning at 8:15AM, and then hold an election for new members in the coming week. We will be welcoming two 2nd graders onto the council and one K and one 1st grade representative from 4th or 5th grade.

Three new options starting the week of October 19th. Use the QR code or follow THIS LINK.

The Addison Central Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is at an exciting crossroads. We're stepping back to ask big questions: What should a parent advisory council look like for today's families? How can we best support one another, partner with the district, and make sure every student with an IEP or 504 plan has what they need to thrive?

We don't want to answer those questions alone. We want to answer them with you.

Join us for a community conversation where families will help set SEPAC's direction, priorities, and way of working.

The SEPAC is also welcoming new leaders! Whether you're drawn to organizing events, connecting families, sharing information, or speaking up on important issues, there's a role that fits your strengths and schedule. Leadership can be shared, flexible, and as big or small as you make it.

When: Wednesday, 10/14, 5:30-7pm
Where: MUHS library & Google Meet (meet.google.com/gjk-ymhg-drj)
