Principal's Message

👋 Dear Booth Hill Families,

We continued our celebration of reading with an exciting Masked Reader Week! Staff members recorded themselves reading favorite books while "masked" with a fun Memoji disguise. The students loved listening to the stories and eagerly guessing who was behind each mask—some were definitely easier to figure out than others! It was a fantastic way to highlight the joy of reading and keep everyone engaged and smiling.

Have a great weekend, Bobcats!

Warm regards,

Kevin Chase

Smart Phones & Watches

Parents we need your support.

Smart Watches:

Smart Watches can be quite distracting. Students should not be contacting parents via their Smart Watch during the school day. In addition, we ask that you refrain from sending your child text messages. We do not encourage the wearing of Smart Watches at all, especially due to their value. There is not a need for access to the technology features of a Smart Watch during the school day, including on transportation.

Cell Phones:

If you have decided to provide your child with a cell phone, please note it must be off and out of sight the entire day. This includes ON THE BUS. There have been several reports of students using their phones while riding school provided transportation. We request that you have continued conversations with your children regarding this topic.

Thank you in advance for your support!

School Attendance

As a school community, we continually strive to promote regular attendance at Booth Hill. We welcome and appreciate open communication between school and home; therefore, please reach out if you need assistance with getting your child to school each day and in a timely fashion. Parent and school partnerships enable us to best support our students to ensure success at school.

"Chronically absent is defined as "a child who accumulated a total number of absences at any time during the school year that is equal to or greater than ten percent (10%) of the total number of days that such student has been enrolled at the school during the school year."

Please refer to board policy 5113.1 on our website for more information. https://www.trumbullps.org/board-of-education/policy

As always, thank you for your support.
