Hello Bobcat Families! Thank you to all of our families who attended a second Parent-Teacher conference on Friday. As your child's first teacher, it is incredibly important that we continue to partner for their success. You should have received your child's report card in their backpack on Wednesday, but you can also access it online now! Have a fabulous weekend!
Elementary School Report Cards
Families can access report cards in Aspen on Monday, March 28th for viewing and/or downloading for a three week period. When the report card is published midday, parents/guardians will receive an email with instructions from portal_support@greenwich.k12.ct.us. To log in, use your primary email address (the address which you received the email) as the user ID. If you have forgotten your password, please hit the ‘Forgot Password’ button. Individuals who have never logged in to Aspen will also receive a separate ‘New Account’ email with a temporary password.

Sat. Mar 26th 2022, 7:00 pm
TICKET SALES ARE OPEN
and you do not want to miss it!
Over 80 Central Middle School students are part of this epic performance.
BYE BYE BIRDIE tells the story of a rock 'n’ roll singer, Conrad Birdie, who is about to be inducted into the army. Albert Petersen, his agent, is a pleasant, mild-mannered young man. His faithful secretary, Rose Alvarez, concocts one final national publicity plan before Conrad’s induction. He will bid a typical American teenage girl goodbye with a kiss on the Ed Sullivan show. Kim McAfee in Sweet Apple, Ohio, wins the honor. It sends the residents of Sweet Apple into a spin — especially Hugo Peabody, who just pinned Kim!
Online ticket purchases are encouraged.
A limited number of tickets will be available to purchase live before the shows for an additional fee.
