Cornwall News
December 9, 2022
Hello Cornwall School families,
You may have noticed that I usually change the photo at the top of the newsletter and that it has not been changed recently. In hopes of perhaps encouraging more snowfall - which is a BIG topic of conversation around here - I am just going to leave that photo there for now. For those of you who love snowfall, do you participate in any "tricks" like wearing pajamas inside out in the hopes that there will be snow?
Dreaming of snow, :)

Come Hear Cornwall School Students Sing!
The next monthly Cornwall Community Coffee House will feature our very own Cornwall School Show Chorus!
The Coffee House will take place on Thursday, December 15, at 7:00 PM, at the Cornwall Congregational Church.
Students will perform a Broadway Revue, along with other selections. Following the Show Chorus will be an Evening of Holiday Musical Merriment with the acoustic ensemble Midnight Clear.
The Cornwall Community Coffee House is a monthly concert series organized on the third Thursday of each month by Cornwall School chef Dan Whittemore. Refreshment proceeds go to support Friends of Cornwall School.
We hope you can join us!
Band Performance
Our 4th and 5th grade band will perform for family, friends, and the school on December 20 at 2pm. We hope to see you there!
Strategic Plan
Beginning this winter, we will create a new Strategic Plan for Equity to prioritize the success of every student. Strategic plans help set priorities and direction for our school district's future. Please read more about the Strategic Plan and ways to get involved in this recent Newsletter or visit the Strategic Plan webpage here: https://www.acsdvt.org/domain/60
We are currently looking for students, staff, parents/caregivers and community members to join our Strategic Plan Action Team. We are seeking community members who have experience or expertise within the areas of success, belonging, and access identified in the Boards 3 Strategic Plan Goals:
Learning Community (Success) ACSD’s learning environment will inspire a passion for learning and value diverse identities and abilities, while preparing our students to make positive contributions to the community and beyond.
School Community (Belonging) Everyone will feel safe, welcomed, and included in our schools and the district. Students and families will be able to engage with the school system in valuable ways.
Resources & Facilities (Access) ACSD will allocate resources to address students’ needs across the district in equitable, sustainable, and fiscally responsible ways. ACSD will maintain infrastructure and facilities that support varied learning and successful outcomes for all of our students.
Any one who is interested is encouraged to apply. This group will do the work of continuing to gather perspectives from our community while writing the next Strategic Plan. They will meet about 2x per month for 90 minutes between January - June 2022 and receive $500 compensation for your time. You can learn more about the Action Team HERE.
Some 4th grade fun!
