“The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more you learn, the more places you’ll go.”— Dr. Seuss
Week 26: Cucinella celebrated Read Across America last week with many fun filled spirit days. Photos to follow below. Besides the fun spirit days, the teachers focused on instilling a love of reading with our students by having lots of fun reading centered activities throughout the week. All in all, it was a great celebration of reading. A special shout out to Mrs. Dawn Mackenzie for all of her hard work organizing the many events around Cucinella last week!

ABSENCE PHONE LINE IS PERMANENTLY SHUT DOWN!!!
PickUp Patrol has been in effect since early November and we are very happy with the positive feedback we have been receiving from the parent community. As the year progress, we have been slowly integrating all the capabilities this program provides us with.
The next step of integration is we now exclusively use PickUp Patrol for recording your child's absences. Please click here to review how to use the program to record absences.
The absence line which was previously used to record absences has now been disconnected.
Our secretaries and nurse are no longer checking phone messages for absences. This information is now handled exclusively through the PickUp Patrol app. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue to integrate this new attendance management system.
All of our parents and guardians should have received a "Welcome" email with details on how to download the app and set up your account. If you have not received an email, please check your SPAM folder. If you can not find the Welcome email, please contact our school secretaries and ask for a new one to be resent.
If you have not downloaded the app or set up your account yet, please do so as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the secretaries, Mrs. Deanna Dargel or Mrs. Boomi Varathrajan.
