Welcome Back to School
As we gear up to begin the year, I would like to share some updates with you.
As you might guess, it has been a busy summer. Our skilled and devoted staff has been planning and preparing. We've had many interviews and will be welcoming new staff in September.
Our enthusiastic office team has been registering new families, ordering needed materials and updating student files. Our hard working and conscientious building and grounds staff have spent the entire summer thoroughly cleaning and prepping the facility. And, our much-appreciated PTSO is gearing up to welcome teachers, students and families, provide volunteer opportunities, and offer other exciting events and programs.
We are indeed a joyous and caring community with the common goals of nurturing responsible, caring students and promoting high-level learning.
New staff:
Steve Doran - Assistant Principal
Ellen Biggane - AIS math
Heather Billington - Spanish
Elizabeth Diaz - Music
Alexander Forsyth - Teacher Assistant
Jodi Gibeault - Science
Eda Graham - Social Worker
Kayla Hotaling - School Counselor (M-Z)
Anjelica Krause-O'Brien - Social Worker
Caitlin Longden - Teacher Assistant
Quinn Griswold - Math
What supplies will I need to purchase for my child?
Please purchase a set of earbuds (all other supplies have been purchased by the district). You may need to replenish your child's earbuds if they lose them throughout the year.
We have many exiting activities to look forward to this year. Please see below for important calendar updates. Also, please check the school website on a regular basis as district updates are posted there.
If you would like to meet with either me or Mr. Doran, please give the office a call and we will set up an appointment.
