ESS Weekly Family Update
Week ending 5/6/2022
Update from Mrs. Weber
The second week of SBAC testing in Grade 3 was very successful. Thank you to our staff and students for working so hard all week long. Grade 4 testing will begin on Monday.
Thank you to the PTO, especially Darcy Epstein and Dawn Coppola, for all their hard work and efforts for staff appreciation week. It was wonderful and we are so thankful for all that you ladies did.
If you have plans to move before the start of the new school year, please email Mrs. Quinlan (dquinlan@sheltonpublicschools.org) This helps us in making class lists. The staff and I devote much time and thought when placing your child in a class. Parental requests for specific teacher placements will not be considered; however, if there are any special circumstances or consideration regarding class placement, please notify me via email.
Anonymous Parent Survey-if you haven't done so already, please use this link to fill it out-it will remain open until 5/17/22

Have a nice weekend-Happy Mother's Day-Mrs. Weber
