Principal's Pen

Dear Julian Curtiss Families,

Earlier today, all families were emailed an invitation to voluntarily fill out the annual Greenwich Public Schools Family Survey, with a deadline of Friday, May 24. We encourage participation from all families because we value your confidential feedback. The survey should take approximately 2-3 minutes to complete, and you can skip questions if you do not have enough information to answer them.

Be on the lookout for an email with the subject line “Greenwich Public Schools Family Survey” from Dr. Toni Jones via k12insightllc.com. Be sure and check your spam folder if you do not find it readily in your inbox.

There are lots of opportunities to come and see your child's work at Julian Curtiss in the next few weeks. Make sure to make plans to:

1. See our musicians at the spring concert -Monday, May 13th at 6:30

2. Send the Grandparent's to Grandparent's Day Friday, May 17th

3. Talent Show Friday, May 17th at 6 pm

4. Field Day, Friday May 24th at 9:00-11:00

5, See our Artists at the Art Receptions, May 29th at 5:30 pm

6. Visit your child's Foreign Language classroom May 30th or May 31st (see schedule) and get a glimpse of how much progress they made this year.

THE JULIAN CURTISS STAFF WAS SHOWERED WITH APPRECIATION THIS WEEK! THE STUDENTS AND PARENTS ARRIVED AT SCHOOL WITH COLORFUL FLOWERS, BEAUTIFUL NOTES, AND SPECIAL TREATS FOR THEIR TEACHERS.
