MESSAGE FROM MS. ESSEX
Hello Atkinson Families!
I want to thank you for getting to school to pick up your children in the face of unplanned cancelations last week. I know it was difficult for many of you, and I truly appreciate your flexibility. Our teachers shared many tales of extraordinarily long commutes home, and I can only imagine that many of you had similar experiences.
On the bright side, as I was leaving Atkinson on Wednesday evening, I saw many happy children and families sledding down the hill out back. It warmed my soul and I hope that you were all able to find some joy and fun in the last few days.
Hopefully the roads will be clear by Monday so we can see your kiddos back at school!
Beth Essex
Interim Principal
A MESSAGE FROM THE TALENT SHOW COMMITTEE
Since school was closed on rehearsal days, new dates will be selected for the Atkinson Talent Show rehearsals and assemblies to ensure that it is a positive experience for all performers. Thank you for your understanding!
PTA NEWSLETTER
See the latest news from the PTA here.
INCOMING DLI KINDERGARTENERS (REPEAT FROM LAST WEEK)
For families in our DLI program with incoming kindergarteners, please don't forget to enter the lottery for kindergarten. If you do not enter the lottery, your child will not be able to enter the DLI program. Having an enrolled older sibling does not automatically enter your younger child into the lottery for the DLI program. And we want those siblings in school with us! The lottery will be open from February 15 to March 17, more information available HERE.
CALLING ALL ARTISTS! WE NEED FACE PAINTERS!
We need face painters for Día del Niño, an annual Atkinson celebration put on by Amigos! It will be on April 28th in the afternoon/evening at school. If you would like to volunteer to paint children's faces for this event, please sign up here. All supplies will be provided. Thank you!
