Principal's Message
๐ฌ Dear Booth Hill Families,
I hope everyone enjoyed a wonderful, restful Labor Day weekend with family and friends! Although this past week was a shortened one, our Booth Hill Bobcats didn't miss a beat.
Despite having fewer days together this week, our classrooms were filled with focus, enthusiasm, and productivity. Students continued settling deeper into their daily routines, building strong community connections, and working toward their goals for the school year.
As we head into our next full week, thank you for your ongoing partnership, positivity, and support. Your active involvement and encouragement mean the world to our staff and help make Booth Hill such a vibrant environment for our students.
Please see our calendar for upcoming events. Also, just a reminder that Tuesday, September 15, is an early dismissal day for teacher professional development.
Warmly,
Kevin Chase

Safety
Car Drop-off and Pick-Up
Please stay as far to the right side of the entry when arriving for morning drop-off. Staff need to be able to pass by to enter the parking lot.
To help our dismissal run smoothly and safely for all students, please be in the back car pick-up line by 3:20 PM if you are picking up by car. Weโve noticed arrival times are gradually getting later, which delays the line and impacts everyoneโs afternoon schedule. Being in line by 3:20 allows us to dismiss students efficiently and keeps the process calm and predictable for children.
Please turn off your vehicle if you arrive early to drop-off or pick-up. Idling is prohibited.
Thank you for partnering with us to keep dismissal safe and smooth!

Volunteering in School
All individuals seeking to volunteer in the Trumbull Public Schools must complete a โSchool Volunteer Security Checkโ form prior to volunteering and forms must be completed annually.
Please use the form: Volunteer Form Tier 1. If you will be volunteering UNSUPERVISED, please complete a Tier II form which includes a DCF Background Check. Please use this form: Volunteer Form Tier II
Please remember to take time to read our handbook.
Labeling Items
We encourage families to label items such as water bottles, lunch boxes and outerwear with a name so that if they are misplaced they can be returned quickly to students.
A Note from the Transportation Department
The start of school is a busy time of year and our priority is that all students are assigned a bus stop location before the start of school and that stop concerns are resolved quickly. This is a reminder that all requests for bus stop changes or bus stop concerns need to be submitted online using our Transportation Action Report found by clicking the hyperlink CLICK HERE. For immediate assistance, you can reach the Transportation Department at 203-452-4321.
Lost Items on the Bus: Any items left on the bus are brought to the Bus Depot at the end of the day. Please call Durham at 203-261-4329.
Parent pick-up: Visitors are prohibited from entering school grounds during school hours without checking in at the main office. The earliest that we authorize cars to enter cueing for pick-up is 2:45. Additionally, small barricades have been placed right near the storage trailer to prevent cars from traveling any further until Mr. T moves them at 3:00. Do not attempt to turn left off of Booth Hill Road into the school driveway. Proceed straight and join at the end of the line. This will allow us to maintain a safe and secure environment for our children.

Chromebook Insurance: Grade 5 Families
The Trumbull Public Schools will be offering the option for parents to purchase Chromebook Insurance for grades 5-8 students as part of our 1:1 Device Insurance Program. Each student in grades 5-8 is issued a district managed Chromebook that is to be used as a tool to support their learning. Students are responsible for bringing their Chromebook from home to school each day and it is expected to be fully charged and available when needed during the school day. The 1:1 Device Insurance Program is designed to protect students and families in the event that the Chromebook issued to a student is stolen, damaged, or malfunctions due to no fault of the student. Students and parents may be charged for any damage resulting from intentional damage to the device caused by the student or for lost devices.
This program covers all accidental damage to the Chromebook or theft of the device subject to the following: $0 deductible for the first two occurrences per year and $50 deductible per occurrence thereafter. This coverage is effective for the duration of the school year. Insurance must be renewed annually.
The cost for the 2026-2027 school year is $25.00 per device, per child. If a family does not elect to purchase the insurance, the family will be responsible for the full cost of replacement parts plus labor or full replacement cost of the Chromebook if it can not be repaired. A typical repair for a screen replacement is approximately $85, which is why the district encourages parents to purchase the insurance to limit their liability in case of accidental damage to the device. Chromebook insurance does not cover intentional damage or lost devices, chargers or cases.
For additional information on the program please refer to Board of Education 5143.2 Student One-to-One Device Insurance Program. Families experiencing economic hardship may request a fee waiver by contacting the appropriate school administrator and following the process outlined in Board of Education 5138/Pay to Participate Policy.
Enrollment and payment for the 1:1 Device Insurance Program will be processed via the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. To purchase the insurance login to the Parent Portal, and select School Store>Technology>Chromebook Insurance on the left menu. Click here to access step-by-step instructions for adding the insurance and completing payment online.
Parents must elect the insurance no later than 9/30/2026. ENROLL NOW
