This Week's Note From Mr. Evan Chelman, Principal

Dear Hill-Roberts Families,


This is New England, so it only seems appropriate to discuss the weather! We love talking about the weather, don't we? It's been gray. It's been rainy. It's been PERFECT reading weather! I'm placing a couple of articles below about the importance of reading with your child. Maybe you have some books at home. Perhaps you take advantage of the wonderful public library. No matter where your books come from, the imoprtance of reading at home cannot be overstated. One of my 2023 resolutions is to read with my daughter more. Gia is in 4th grade and I haven't read to her as much as I did with my older son. I plan to change that this year because it's never too late. Happy reading!

Be well,

Evan

....but before you keep scrolling to look at photos...read this....

For any families who have a student who rides a minibus, we want to be sure that you're escorting your child onto the bus and buckling them in. Drivers are not responsible for buckling students into the bus on the way into school. Teachers are sure to buckle students upon dismissal. Thank you for your attention to this.
