3rd Grade Music Concert - RESCHEDULED - Wednesday, April 6th at 5:30 p.m.
Due to unforeseen circumstances, we had to reschedule this week's 3rd Grade Music Concert. The 3rd Grade Music Concert will now be held on Wednesday, April 6th at 5:30 p.m. with a call time of 5:15 p.m.
We also plan to hold a daytime performance for the school that will serve as a dress rehearsal for our 3rd graders on Wednesday, March 30th at 1:50 p.m. We will attempt to share that link with all of the families that day. In addition, a Livestream link will be provided to families closer to the date of the April 6th evening performance for family members unable to attend in person. Recordings of the rehearsal and performance will also be shared.
Caruso Parent Information Night
Hello Future Blue Jay Families!
As we head into the final months of this school year we wish you the best and look forward to welcoming our incoming 6th grade class. Behind the scenes, we are hard at work helping prepare for a smooth transition from 5th grade to middle school, and we wanted to invite you to an opportunity to learn more about Caruso! We will be holding an optional incoming Blue Jay night for parents only on Thursday, April 7th from 6-7pm in the Caruso Cafeteria. If you are unable to attend, the presentation will be sent out.
Thank you in advance for your patience as we plan. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions following our informational night once all resources have been shared.
Thanks!
Tim Brodeur, Principal
