Delaney Elementary School
Monthly Newsletter - October Issue
Happy Fall!
Dear Delaney School Families,
We have had a terrific start to the 2019-2020 school year. Students and teachers have settled into their daily routines, and the classes are invested in learning. We are all respectful, responsible, and ready to learn each and every day in the Delaney School.
It was great to meet many of you at Open House on September 18th. Thank you for taking the time to meet the teachers and learn about curriculum expectations for your children. Children do best when parents and teachers work collaboratively to support them in their academic journey.
Thank you for taking the time to read through this month's Delaney School Newsletter. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Miss Kathleen Maloney
Important Reminders
Please remember to contact the Delaney School Office at the start of each year if your child has after school plans other than riding the bus home (YMCA, Adirondack Club, Brownies, etc.). The office needs written confirmation every year with specific days of the week for your child's after school plans.
Please remember: Due to limited space on our busses, students are not permitted to ride on a different bus for playdates.
