👋 Dear Booth Hill Families,

This week we celebrated and honored those who served our country in the armed forces for Veterans Day. Mr. Prieto, Ms. Hartson, Mrs. Cotter, Mrs. Recine, and Mrs. Sweeney created and facilitated a beautiful 4th grade Veterans Day performance. The program was comprehensive, including group and solo musical performances as well as informative readings about Veterans Day and the military branches. Students were well-prepared, and performed confidently and passionately. The assembly provided a meaningful tribute to our veterans and their families in attendance. It truly was a polished, respectful, and engaging event that effectively honored veterans for their military service and sacrifice.

Warm regards,

Kevin Chase

Our fourth grade students performed on Monday for veterans and their families. They inspired us with songs, facts, and musical talents in honor of all Veterans. It was a beautiful assembly.

First Selectman, Vicki Tesoro, honored our summer readers who took on her First Selectman's Summer Reading Challenge!

In order to better serve our students and families, we have implemented a new bus tracking system that should resolve the issues we have been experiencing with “Bus Tracker”. It is called BusZone ®.

It allows you to view your students current school bus location and information about the route in near real time, including the scheduled and estimated times to your stop. Please refer to the transportation page on the TPS website for instructions on downloading and using the app.

Activation can take up to 48 hours, so please download and set up your app as soon as possible. Accounts set up today should be active on Monday 11/11/24.

The app contains a very helpful support option. You will find the answers to most questions there and the ability for contact Durham directly if needed.

Please let us know if you have any question.
