You Are Invited to our Compass Community Gatherings beginning 10/1!
We have chosen to start the year by singing some songs together with Sara, our music teacher, leading. As the year progresses, classes will share what they are learning with the rest of the school community.
We hope you will join us if you are available and please note that this is an open invitation to join us every Wednesday at 8:15am beginning 10/1.
When you join the Community Gatherings, please feel free to sit with your child's class and we ask that you participate in the activities and songs.
Thank you and we hope to see you there next week!
Please Save the Day for the Fall Arts Festival!
We are hosting this event to raise money for a visual arts program at Compass for this year. Please join us to make this event a success! The event is open to the public, so please invite your friends and family.
Please keep an eye out for more info about the event as well as a volunteer sign up sheet.

New Arrival Policy
In order to keep our school building as safe as possible and to ensure that every
exit and entrance is completely closed when there is no staff supervision, we have
adopted the following, new arrival policy:
- A Compass staff person will remain at our entrance until 8:15 every morning
and will shut the door. We will shut the door at 8:15.
- Families who have not exited the school building by 8:15 must exit the
building from 300 Adelphi. This practice will help to ensure that all
unguarded exits remain closed.
- Families who arrive after 8AM will be given a late pass by the staff person
stationed at the Compass entrance. That late pass should be handed to your
child’s teacher.
- The Security Safety Agents have requested that families no longer leave
scooters and strollers in the vestibule by our entrance. They pose a fire
hazard that make exiting the building difficult in case of emergency. Feel free to carry the items upstairs and bring them back down with you or leave them outside.
Family School Collaborative
We held our first Family School Collaborative meeting this evening. We had approximately 25 family members and Compass staff members present to hear about the vision for the FSC and also brainstorm possible committees and projects for the coming year. Please keep an eye out for an in depth email with notes from the meeting and the process for selecting our Co-Chairs. We are looking for two family member co-chairs and one staff person co-chair.
Please save the date for the following monthly FSC meetings.
