A special "thank you" to the award winning Shelton Gaelhawks for coming to Mohegan and sharing their experiences with us. This talented group of high school students participate in robotics competitions nation wide. We are proud of them and we were honored to have them come and speak to our students. See a few pictures below.
100TH DAY OF SCHOOL
Mohegan School will celebrate the 100th day of school on Tuesday, February 4th. Students and staff are encouraged to dress up to look like they are 100 years old! See the flier at the end of the newsletter for ideas.
FOOTBALL FRIDAY
Friday, February 7th is Football Friday. Students and Staff are encouraged to wear their favorite football jersey as we get ready for Super Bowl Sunday!
PRE-K CLOSED
Our Pre-K program will be closed on Monday, February 10th. A letter was sent home with all students. Students in Grades K-4 still have school.
VALENTINES DAY
Classes will be celebrating Valentine’s Day with Valentines for all students on Thursday, February 13th. This is also an early dismissal day. Teachers will be sending home a list of all student names so you can bring them in for everyone. Room sponsors will provide a heart healthy snack. Please do not send in any food items with the Valentines. This is in line with our Jump Rope 4 Heart fundraiser as kids learn about eating healthy and staying active for a healthy heart.

SHELTON SPECIAL ELECTION
Shelton is holding a special election on Tuesday, February 25th. School will be in session. Since Mohegan School is a voting site, community members will be coming in to vote in the gymnasium. Voters will enter and leave the building through the back door near the gymnasium; no voters will be allowed in the front door. Once they are done voting, they will exit the same way they entered. Voters are not allowed to enter any other parts of the school. There will be no gym classes in the gymnasium that day. Extra security will be in the gymnasium to ensure voters stay in the designated areas. I am working with the Shelton Public Schools Security Supervisor to ensure a safe environment for all our staff and students. As always, your child’s safety is our top priority.
PBIS SCHOOL WIDE REWARD
Any student with 1 or fewer office referrals in the month gets to participate in the monthly school wide PBIS reward. Today we had BOARD GAME DAY!
