ESS Weekly Family Update
Week ending 4/22/2022
Update from Mrs. Weber
Thank you to all the volunteers who are coming into school Friday for our JA in a Day program! We are looking forward to seeing you all!
Thank you to the Shelton/Derby Rotary Readers for coming in to read to classes in K-3. It was so nice to have them here and they donated the books to our library.
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 for a while-

Please scroll all the way down to see the dates for all the upcoming events. I am so excited to have so many fun events planned through June. Have a nice weekend-Mrs. Weber
Final Chance for Titlewish DOnations this year
Please support our Elizabeth Shelton School Library! Our first two Titlewish programs were very successful and we will start our final Titlewish for the year on April 25th. This Titlewish will end on June 20th, 2022. Our goal is to raise $1,000, and the money will be used to purchase books for our ESS Library Media Center.
How Do I Donate:
You can simply donate a dollar amount here, and I will select a book: https://www.titlewish.com/1094490

You may choose a specific book from our wish list. Here’s how:

Email me at kbush@sheltonpublicschools.org with the title of the book(s) you have funded through Titlewish.
