Hello Bobcat Families! Thank you for your continued support as we enter our seventh week of school. We are impressed each and every day with our students' resiliency, ability to adapt, and eagerness to learn. Seven weeks have proven to show considerable change as students are challenged and engaged with learning each and every day. We appreciate everything you do at home to support this learning and growth!

Families of Students with IEPs
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Welcome or welcome back to New Lebanon School! We understand that the special education process can be an isolating and overwhelming experience. Beginning last September we created the Listening Community. This was a place for parents of children with special needs. The goal of our group continues to be providing you a place to feel heard and a place for you to support each other through the special education process. Should you be interested in joining the Listening Community beginning this Friday, please RSVP to this email. Please know that a Spanish speaking facilitator will also be in attendance.
In the past, we had the luxury of meeting indoors, but in order to keep everyone safe, we are planning to host these meetings outside. We are excited to have some face to face meetings, while maintaining the district’s guidelines, so masks and social distancing will be required. Please bring a lawn chair and perhaps a blanket as the fall chill begins to fill the air. Both meetings will be held on the western side of New Lebanon’s field. You will see a group of us gathered on the field closest to Byram Library.
Friday meetings are scheduled from 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM. The dates have been set for the following: 10/23/20, 10/30/20, 11/6/20, 11/13/20
Wednesday evening meetings are scheduled from 5 PM- 6 PM. The dates have been set for the following: 10/21/20, 10/28/20, 11/4/20, 11/11/20
Please RSVP emailing sabrina_motta@greenwich.k12.ct.us if you plan on attending on one, two, three… or all :-) of these dates.
We hope that you are able to commit to all or most of the dates in order to maintain participation and the group’s focus.
Thank you,
Sandra Corrente
