PRINCIPAL UPDATE
We had a wonderful celebration for our fifth grade students Wednesday. Thank you to the parents who helped to plan a special day for our students. Thursday the entire school joined together to "clap out" the fifth graders as they left to go to the middle schools for a visit. It was a nice send off for our fifth graders! They will be off to the middle schools in the fall to continue to make us proud! We wish them the best of luck and can't wait to hear about all of the amazing things they do!
Report cards and progress reports went home with students, as well as suggested grade level supply lists and WIDA Access reports for those students who participated in the Access testing this past winter.
Teacher assignments for students entering grades 1 through 5 will be shared in August via email. We will also send out a summer update in August.
Have a great summer!
Mrs. Tenaglia and Ms. McAvoy

Got rocks?
Ms. Caruso is organizing a family-friendly event for the Back to School picnic in August (date TBD for picnic) -- and we need about 600+ rocks for families/students to decorate!
As you take walks/hikes, hit the beach, etc this summer (any time from now until mid-August) -- please pick up some rocks and drop them in the bucket out front of Debbie Coleman's house (7 Kenwood Lane)!
*Rocks need to be spray painted before, so ideally by mid-August have them dropped off!
