Principal Madden’s Weekly Update—Week of October 15

Parent Conferences

Teachers are looking forward to meeting with parents during the week of October 22. Every day that week is an early release day for students with a 12:20 dismissal. Thank you to parents who signed up for a conference during Open House. If you were not able to make an appointment, please call the school office. Evening conferences are available from 6-8 on Tuesday and Thursday of that week. Thank you!

The photos this week shows some field trips from last week. Our kindergarten students enjoying time at Fletcher Farm , and our 4th graders hiked to the summit of Mt. Holyoke!

These field trips are made possible because of funding from our fabulous PTO. Want to know more or get involved? There is a meeting this week at 6:30 in our library. It’s a great group with a good cause!
