From the Principal's Office
Thank you to everyone who came and participated in the PTA meeting this past week. It was a wonderful success with more than 55 parents in attendance. During the two most recent meetings an average of 62 people attended. We want to keep our momentum going so try to come to our meeting on November 13th. The theme of the meeting will be "How to best take part in parent-teacher conferences."
In the meantime, I hope you continue to support your children and your school and attend the BINGO event on October 26th. It is always a good night for everyone.
HALLOWEEN PARADE
This year Halloween is on Wednesday October 31st. We know that it is an exciting season for children. We will try to follow the same procedure as last year.
- Dressing up is voluntary, not mandatory.
- Students in grades K-5 can wear costumes.
- You can not come to school wearing your costume. Students may put them on before the parade.
- No toy weapons or bloody masks are allowed.
- The parade starts at 2:00
- Students in grades K-5 will parade through the field outside. Parents can come to take pictures.
- After the parade the students will go back to the classroom for dismissal.
- No parties or celebrations are allowed in the classes.
- Please do not block cars in the parking lot or leave your car running.
- Dismissal is still at 2:45.
Thank you for your cooperation.
John Grasso,
Principal
Greenwich Public Schools Announces Kindergarten Spotlight on November 13
Greenwich, CT – Tuesday, October 2, 2018 – Greenwich Public Schools (GPS) announces a new opportunity to learn about the District’s Kindergarten program – Kindergarten Spotlight. The event will be held on November 13, 2018 at 6:00 p.m. at the Town Hall Meeting Room, 101 Field Point Road, Greenwich.
Kindergarten Spotlight has been added to the annual GPS Registration process held at individual schools beginning in February each year. Spotlight provides an earlier opportunity to learn about the GPS Kindergarten program for families that are considering their options for enrollment in school year 2019-2020.
Nurse Notes!
Dear Third Grade Parents,
If your child is in the 3rd grade then you will need to submit a mandatory physical exam form to the school nurse this year. Mrs. Pinkert, RN, sent these letters and forms home last school year. The physician must complete the State of CT (HAR-3) form which can be found on our school website and the physical date must be AFTER January 1, 2018 in order to fulfill the mandate for 3rd grade. Please make several copies of the physical before you hand it in as you may need it for after school programs and camps.
Dear Pre Kindergarten Parents,
As per the State of CT, your child will need to have the seasonal Influenza vaccine BEFORE December 31, 2018 and you will need to provide proof to the school nurse. This is required for attendance and if it is not completed before that time your child will not be able to return to school on January 2nd, 2019. Please contact your child's physician to take care of this very important vaccine and try not to wait until flu season has started.
If you have any questions please feel free to call me.
Thank you for your attention,
Angie Lucas, RN
