* Welcome to Miss Kamaree Saldo, our new art teacher! Miss Saldo comes to us with several years of experience as an art teacher in Pittsfield. We look forward to having her share her creativity and art expertise with our students this year. Miss Saldo will be with us on Tuesdays and can be reached at ksaldo@nbsunion.com.
* PE will take place on Thursdays and Fridays, please wear sneakers on those days.
* Aftercare Program - We continue to maintain the same policies regarding payments and registration for our Aftercare Program as last year. If you are interested in registering your student, we require a trimester long commitment. Also, if you only intend to use the program for half days, we again require a commitment for all half days within a trimester, and families will be billed accordingly. Finally, if you need to register this trimester, registration closes on Friday, 9/9. Please reach out if you need a registration packet or have any questions.
* If you haven't done so already, we invite you to download the NBSU app on your phone. This app will provide you with daily news, information, photos and menus. You can find the app in your Google or Apple App Store and search for NBSU (North Berkshire School Union) and choose Emma Miller School after you download. This app is just another handy communication tool we use to keep you connected to our school.
* In case you didn't know...our school website is jam-packed with information about our school. You can also find our school committee agendas and meeting minutes, if you are unable to attend the meetings. The link is below.
* School Committee approved two new policies during Wednesday's meeting. These two policies are attached below and include new Personal Electronic Device and Vacation/Planned Absences policies. They have also been added to our Student Handbook.
Planning Ahead:
* The PTG will hold their first meeting of the year on Tuesday, 9/13 at 3:00pm. As always, parents/guardians are welcome and encouraged to attend.
* Picture Day is coming on Wednesday, 9/14.
A Note from Nurse Jacquelyn:
* On Wednesday we sent home two COVID test kits to every family. Some of these kits may have a date that has expired. We have been advised that these kits are ok to use for six months following the expiration date.
* It is important that we provide a safe environment for all students, so if your student requires any prescribed medication or over-the-counter medicine, including cough drops, a parent must deliver them to Nurse Jacquelyn or another adult in the building. Thank you.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Tierney
