Attendance Matters
Good attendance gives your child the best chance to be successful at school. We understand that sometimes children are sick and cannot be at school, but it is important for them to attend each day they are able. Students are considered chronically absent by the State of Connecticut when they have missed 10% of the current days of school. The total includes both excused and unexcused absences. Students with even more absences are considered dangerously absent.
In order to support our community with attendance, we will be sending letters to families of students that are currently considered chronically absent each month. Please contact the office if you have any questions or if there is anything we can do to support you in ensuring that your child is at school. You can always contact our school nurse if you have any questions about your child's health. Please note that if your child is absent for reasons other than illness, the absences will likely be recorded as unexcused. Teachers may only provide school work for students who absent due to quarantine or other special circumstances.

Our fall fundraiser, the Silent Disco, is around the corner on Friday, November 17th! As part of the silent auction, each grade puts together a themed basket that will be displayed and auctioned off at the event. The baskets consist of a combination of donated and purchased items (ideas below), so we need your help!
1. We need 1 person from each class (4 per grade) to send a note to your class asking for cash donations for the grade basket, COLLECT THE FUNDS and pass them along to your grade purchaser. The total donated for the baskets usually ends up being around $300 but we don't need to cap this.
2. We need a representative from each grade to PURCHASE/GATHER ITEMS for the baskets.
3. We need a representative from each grade to CREATE THE BASKET.
Here is a list of the grade basket themes and some ideas of things you could include (This is not a comprehensive list by any means).
