Planning Update for RE-opening Chichester Central School From Superintendent Peter Warburton

Hope, Certainty and Communication

Hi everyone,

At the Chichester School Board meeting last night, Ms. Richardson and I presented the first part of our reopening plan for the coming year. A number of parents, community and staff members attended the meeting and provided feedback and asked some very good questions.

The Board will meet again next Wednesday, July 29, when we will present part 2 of our plan and respond to questions that were raised on July 21st.

The Board is expected to vote on the entire plan.

Please let me know if you have any questions or thoughts before hand, email pwarburton@sau53.org or call 485-5187.

***The meeting next Wednesday the 29th will be remote, with the link published on the CCS and SAU 53 website on Monday, July 27th.

Thank you,

Peter

Raised Beds In October, raised beds were built and filled with loam. Fresh compost from cafeteria waste was used to fertilize the beds, garlic cloves were planted and four inches of straw was used to insulate the garden.	Scapes The garlic began to sprout in the spring and garlic scapes developed in early June which are an edible part of the plant that develops into a flower if not harvested. Removing the scapes helps to develop larger bulbs and can be used in many delicious recipes including a garlic scape and basil pesto sauce.	Bulbs Despite dry conditions and an inability to attend to the garden this spring, the garlic was harvested on schedule and should provide enough cloves for the upcoming growing season.

Kindergarten/New Student Registration and Re-enrollment

ALMA is the Student Information System used in to house our digital registration forms, student grades, and student information. Parents/guardians access ALMA to complete registration, annual permission forms, and to view student grades and report cards.

If you have a child who is new to our school, you will need to set up a new account. If you have a student who is returning for another year, simply login to ALMA and update any contact information, medical information and permissions on file for the current school year. The added bonus is not having to fill out all those paper forms on the first day of school!

We are so excited meet our new friends and welcome back our returning ones for the 2020-2021 school year!
