Eaglet Gazette
Enfield Head Start, Integrated Pre-K, PK STEAM Academy
MEET SELC, our mascot! He is an eaglet who will grow up to be an Enfield High School Eagle.
November 17, 2023
Next week has a lot going on, with and early release on Monday for afternoon and evening conferences and then another early release on Wednesday, followed by 2 no school days for Eaglets. Changes in routine can be challenging for little ones to navigate. Rely on your linear calendars, talking to your child about what they school days and home days will look like this week. Making things as predictable as possible will be a powerful strategy for you to use over the next few weeks!
