Message from our Principal
Hello Eagle Families!
We invite you to join us this week for the PTA Book Fair, which begins tomorrow and runs all week. The Book Fair kicks off bright and early tomorrow morning with the "Donuts with Grown-Ups" event from 7:45-8:20am. Despite the early morning start time, this is a popular event, and the donuts go fast, so the earlier you arrive the better! Please see event details below under 'Upcoming Events'.
Also starting tomorrow is the Student Council Coin Wars, which is a friendly fundraiser between grade levels designed to raise money that will benefit all Weathersfield students. Students bring in spare change to drop into their grade level bucket each day Monday-Friday. Prizes for the grade levels that raise the most. This fundraiser ends on Friday, March 15. Please see the details below under 'Upcoming Events'.
- Security Cameras - Our campus security cameras have been installed around the perimeter and all entry points of the school. Cameras are placed in outdoor areas only.
- All the smaller-sized sweatpants we had stocked in the health office for student clothing emergencies have been loaned out, and, unfortunately, not returned. So, we no longer have back-up pants available to loan if your child gets theirs wet or soiled. Should you wish to avoid a phone call requesting that you bring a change of clothes, we'd like to recommend that you consider packing a change of clothes for your child to keep in their backpack.
- Kindergarten parents only - this is a friendly reminder that your children's oral health assessments are due to the Health Office by May 24, 2024.
Have a wonderful week!!
Gooooooo Eagles!
Respectfully,
Paola Vargas
Principal

Attendance Info & Explanations
CHRONIC ABSENCE
In many cases, absences from school are unavoidable due to unique circumstances or illness; however, chronic absenteeism can have a drastic impact on your student's education. Students chronically absent in kindergarten and first grade are much less likely to learn to read by the end of third grade. By sixth grade, chronic absence is a proven early warning sign of potential school drop-out. By ninth grade, strong attendance is known to be an effective predictor of high school graduation. School attendance matters.
Upcoming Events:
Student Council presents COIN WARS: March 11-15
