Hello Cornwall School families,
Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who helped with the Winter Crafts Day!!! It was a day full of smiles and curiosity and creativity. And, thank you to Steven Rheaume and the Cornwall road crew who brought the snow plows so we could do a snow dance with them! And, thank you to Kendra Gratton and Chef Dan for arranging for the Show Chorus to perform at the Cornwall Community Coffee House!
In essence, thank you to the Cornwall community for supporting our school and students and for celebrating with us!
Warmly,
Heather
Band Performance
Our 4th and 5th grade band will perform for family, friends, and the school on December 20 at 2pm. We hope to see you there!
Free Covid Tests
There are currently several options to access free COVID tests:
Families and staff can continue to get COVID tests for home use from the school nurses and health assistants at ACSD schools.
You can also order some through covidtests.gov. Every household can get 4 tests shipped to you for free.
You are eligible to get 8 tests per month for free via your health insurance.
Strategic Plan
Beginning this winter, we will create a new Strategic Plan for Equity to prioritize the success of every student. Strategic plans help set priorities and direction for our school district's future. Please read more about the Strategic Plan and ways to get involved in this recent Newsletter or visit the Strategic Plan webpage here: https://www.acsdvt.org/domain/60
We are currently looking for students, staff, parents/caregivers and community members to join our Strategic Plan Action Team. We are seeking community members who have experience or expertise within the areas of success, belonging, and access identified in the Boards 3 Strategic Plan Goals:
Learning Community (Success) ACSD’s learning environment will inspire a passion for learning and value diverse identities and abilities, while preparing our students to make positive contributions to the community and beyond.
School Community (Belonging) Everyone will feel safe, welcomed, and included in our schools and the district. Students and families will be able to engage with the school system in valuable ways.
Resources & Facilities (Access) ACSD will allocate resources to address students’ needs across the district in equitable, sustainable, and fiscally responsible ways. ACSD will maintain infrastructure and facilities that support varied learning and successful outcomes for all of our students.
Any one who is interested is encouraged to apply. This group will do the work of continuing to gather perspectives from our community while writing the next Strategic Plan. They will meet about 2x per month for 90 minutes between January - June 2022 and receive $500 compensation for your time. You can learn more about the Action Team HERE.
