THE CHOCOLATE TOUCH FAMILY NIGHT
Our The Chocolate Touch family night will be April 1st. Unfortunately we have limited supplies and space, so we had to cut off sign ups. Tickets for the event went home this week.
2025-2026 SCHOOL BUDGET MEETING
There will be a joint meeting with the Board of Aldermen and Board of Education at Shelton City Hall on Thursday, April 10th that begins at 7:00. The Mayor has proposed a $1 million increase to our 2025-2026 budget; the BOE's request was $3.5.
Last year, the Aldermen listened to all of the community's feedback and increased the BOE's funding. The Aldermen recognize the importance of proper education funding and we are optimistic for the same result this year. Your attendance at the meeting would be greatly appreciated
PARENT CONFERENCES
Thank you to all the parents who came to parent conferences the past 2 weeks. If you were unable to make it to conferences and would like to speak with your child’s teacher, please reach out to the school.

Here is an ongoing list of end of year events at Mohegan Elementary School. For planning purposes, parents may want to look at the list and determine if they want to take time off of work for certain events. This list will be updated as new events are added to the calendar so please check weekly.
