One School, One Book: You are Invited to Share a Wish!
Before we began reading Wishtree, each student in the school was invited to write a wish on a piece of fabric that now hangs from our trees in front of the school. We invite the members of our community to also share their wishes with us! There is a basket of fabric by the main office. If you visit, please write your wish and you can hang it on the tree or we will hang it for you.
Don't forget to keep up with your reading and optional activities. You can find read alouds on our school website under the activities tab.

No Passing: Do not pass cars or enter the opposite lane of traffic.
Exiting from Cars: Students should only exit cars that are in the circle or parked in a spot. Do not dismiss students from cars while in the driveway or other areas of the parking lot.
Parking: Do not park in the driveway, fire lane, or in front of the dumpsters. Do not park in any other areas that are not parking spots or block in other vehicles that are parked.
Speeding: Please drive slowly and carefully as there are many families in the parking lot each morning

Adventures with Elvis
Elvis has left the building! Well...he left the pet store and moved to Rowayton School! Please join us in welcoming Elvis, a very special long haired Guinea Pig. Mrs. Saunders helped bring Elvis to our school and her class is doing an amazing job of welcoming him to our community. They are learning to care for him and including him in daily activities. Mrs. Saunders's class will be bringing him to classes so we can all meet him. Exposure to animals for the purpose of learning is a wonderful experience for our students. Thanks, Mrs. Saunders! Elvis ROCKS! Check out some photos from Elvis's first week at school.
