Candy and Food Policy Reminder
With Valentine’s Day approaching, please keep our district policy regarding candy and food in mind. Food allergies and restrictions are very serious and we ask for your cooperation in promoting safety in school. When choosing Valentines, prizes, crafts, activities, or goodie bags for your child’s class, please consider options other than food or candy. Some teachers may organize a class treat and will communicate this with parents so that you can opt out or provide an alternative for your child.

Attendance Updates
Parents will now receive attendance updates through ParentSquare. When a child is marked absent, an alert will be sent in an email or text through ParentSquare. These alerts are automated and will be sent any time a child is absent, even if the school knows about the absence in advance.
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. Please note that if your child is absent for reasons other than illness, the absences will be recorded as unexcused. Teachers may only provide school work for students who absent due to quarantine or other special circumstances.
