Start Strong Information for Parents

Students in Grades 4 and 5 will complete the Start Strong assessment on September 20th - 21st. Content areas that will be tested are Language Arts and Mathematics.

• This assessment aims to provide a resource to educators to evaluate the needs of students, especially after a hiatus of standardized testing for the past 2 years.
• Each test is designed to be completed in approximately 45-60 minutes and contains only multiple-choice questions to allow for fast scores and reporting in real-time. This immediate feedback to teachers will guide instruction and student needs.
• For more information, click on the link above.

Hope you all had a great summer! Band is back!!! We are doing lessons in person! Students will be asked to wear bell coverings during lessons(provided by the school). Flutes will not have any covering as the studies show that it doesn't create aerosols when played. When students are not playing, they will be asked to wear their mask. See link for details.

Band Demos will be next week September 17th!

Even though demos are next week, you can sign up before if you know what instrument your child would like to play! Below are 3 links. 1 is to sign up for band and the other 2 are for companies if you would like to rent the instrument, You do not have to use these companies, they are just for your reference. Signing the google sign-up will only sign you up for band and not for the instrument rental.

If you have any questions, please reach out!

Dogs are not permitted on the school property during school hours and at drop off and pick up times. Although many children feel safe around animals, some children have adverse reactions to pets even though they may be well trained. We have noticed some families bringing pets onto the school grounds especially at morning line-up or pick-up. Please be considerate of others by cooperating with this policy.

How fun was the Sweet Treat Meet & Greet? Thank you to all who attended, to all who volunteered their time and especially to our social chairs, Laura and Jessica. It was a truly special evening!

Shh! After 33 years of teaching, we are celebrating Mrs. Green with a Retirement Morning Meeting on Saturday, September 25th, 9-10:30am at the Lizzy Haddon school garden. See the party flyer here.

Parent Socials are Friday September 24th and we are still seeking a host yard for younger grades.

It’s that important! If you are considering hosting your grade's socials, please contact katielynch02@gmail.com. Or signup here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040a4da5aa2fa6ff2-fall

Thank you to all who have signed up already! Some classes still need support (I'm looking at you 4KE!). Grab a buddy and sign-up here:

Each school year, we ask every family to pay a small initial contribution of $25 per family. Why? This annual contribution is the seed that starts the school year off right! For example, we've already purchased teacher wishlist items and teacher welcome gifts. In the past, we’ve funded playground builds, replenished iPad fleets and renovated the teacher lounge. Without it, we say "no" until we fundraise again.
