Principal's Message
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Thank you for attending Open House last Thursday evening! We hope you were able to meet each of your child's teachers and learn more about the curriculum they will be exposed this school year.
All parents and guardians are invited to attend our first Point Webster PTO Meeting of the school year this Tuesday, September 19th at 6:30 pm. Topics discussed will include: Welcoming new members, meeting the PTO leadership, upcoming events and activities, before and after school activities as well as fundraising ideas for the school year.
In addition, a list of Extended Day Activities and sign-up forms were sent home to all grade 5-8 students on Friday. We've attached that information in this newsletter as well as posted it on our school website. Please note that these activities are filled on a first come, first serve basis. All forms should be turned into the front office.
Lastly, information about Point Webster's Cross Country team has been posted on our website as well as given to all interested students. In addition, there will be a brief meeting this week for all students in grades 5-8 interested in signing up for the Point Webster Tennis team on Thursday, September 21st immediately after school in the cafeteria.
Sincerely,
Ms. Christine Barrett
Principal
