Hello Bobcat Families!
We hope you are enjoying this beautiful warm fall weather - a great time to get outside and enjoy time with your family and loved ones.
Our note is brief this weekend because there are several important upcoming dates that we want you to see below...
Thursday is an early release day - dismissal is at 12:45pm and all afters programs are OPEN!. Please be sure to send a large, healthy snack because of this. The reason for this is that we cannot double up lunch waves due to social distancing requirements and we simply do not have enough time in an abbreviated day to run six waves.
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions - we are always available!

Families of Students with IEPs
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome or welcome back to New Lebanon School! We understand that the special education process can be an isolating and overwhelming experience. Beginning last September we created the Listening Community. This was a place for parents of children with special needs. The goal of our group continues to be providing you a place to feel heard and a place for you to support each other through the special education process. Should you be interested in joining the Listening Community beginning this Friday, please RSVP to this email. Please know that a Spanish speaking facilitator will also be in attendance.
In the past, we had the luxury of meeting indoors, but in order to keep everyone safe, we are planning to host these meetings outside. We are excited to have some face to face meetings, while maintaining the district’s guidelines, so masks and social distancing will be required. Please bring a lawn chair and perhaps a blanket as the fall chill begins to fill the air. Both meetings will be held on the western side of New Lebanon’s field. You will see a group of us gathered on the field closest to Byram Library.
Friday meetings are scheduled from 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM. The dates have been set for the following: 11/13/20
Wednesday evening meetings are scheduled from 5 PM- 6 PM. The dates have been set for the following: 11/11/20
Please RSVP emailing sabrina_motta@greenwich.k12.ct.us if you plan on attending on one, two, three… or all :-) of these dates.
We hope that you are able to commit to all or most of the dates in order to maintain participation and the group’s focus.
Thank you,
Sandra Corrente, Emily Khoshaboo, Sabrina Motta, Kristen Mulhearn, & Geanna Partland
