Join us for some fun days as we countdown to summer break!

On Tuesday May 14th, there will be a meeting at 7:00 at Shelton Intermediate School with the Board of Alderman. They are the party responsible for allocating the money to the Board of Ed and can give more, less or the amount recommended by the Mayor's proposal.

At this time, the Mayor has allocated $1 million dollars to the BOE. $2.5 million would be what would be needed to keep the positions we end the 23/24 school year with.

There is an opportunity for you to speak at the BOA meeting. Last year we had a great turnout with parents and students. Those who spoke were so helpful and those speeches were the reason we were able to add a section of grade 4 this year. I hope you can all make the meeting that evening.

Please reach out to me with any questions you may have.

I can be compassionate while problem solving and being creative

Beginning on Friday, March 22nd, and running through Friday, May 17th, we are holding our Spring online Titlewish fundraiser of the year. Please know that 100% of the money we raise will go directly towards purchasing new materials for our school library.

We’re asking you to participate and help us raise $1,000. To help us meet our goal, please visithttps://www.titlewish.com/1095603 The site goes live on Friday, March 22nd.

Thank you for helping us provide Elizabeth Shelton School students with the best education possible! It is a great way to honor your child for their birthday or any special occasion, or just because you want to help! Your child will have their name placed in a new book in honor of your donation.

Thank you!
