The PTO Facebook page is a treasure trove of information. Give it a click!

The SPSS online platforms of Lexia, IXL, and Freckle will be discontinued on or around June 30.

Please see the letter below for links to the summer math work and for recording your child's summer reading. Please be sure to click on the correct grade and school. These papers were also sent home before June 10.

Students participating in summer learning will be included in our annual Summer Learning Celebration in the fall (during school hours).

Kids still looking for things to do> Mrs. Yacawych's Toolkit website is a great resource!

Hard copies of all of the resources below were sent home with report cards in June. If you misplaced them, please print the reading journal (all grades) and the math activity that corresponds to your child's grade for 2024-2025.

Students can visit Mrs. Yacawych's Toolkit over the summer if they want to visit some fun learning websites. You can access the Toolkit if you visit the Booth Hill School website. Click on "Library Media Center" and you will see a menu pop up with Mrs. Yacawych's Toolkit. You can also click on the link below.

By request, all lists are posted at Teacherlists.com. Click here to find a clickable, shoppable list.

Please note that you might get better prices elsewhere, and any brand of any item is acceptable unless noted on a list. We do not get rewards from this site. Also, it never hurts to send in a box of tissues and disinfectant wipes for teachers to keep on hand. Remember to LABEL EVERYTHING and send in your WIRED headphones in a labeled gallon Ziploc bag so that cords don't get tangled. 🙂

Printable lists are below and were sent home with report cards.

Any medicine remaining at school after 6/10 had to be destroyed by law. There is no medicine, inhalers, EpiPens, etc. at school.

FOR 2025 - 2026:

Notes from our Nurse:

Please remember to obtain copies of physical forms and and medication orders (forms below) for your child from your doctor's office when they are seen. Please make a copy to have at home for camps, daycare, etc. before sending the forms into school, as I will not be able to provide copies last minute.

All in-school medications require a new doctor's order for each school year. I am attaching a link for the medication form and procedures (form below). All medications must be dropped off and picked up by an adult- they can not be transported by students. All medication must be in its original container.

You can email me at kkellogg@sheltonpublicschools.org with any questions over the summer, and I will return all messages when I am back in the office late August.

Wishing everyone a fun, healthy, and safe summer!
