Since Mid-Trimester Progress Notes were just released I would like to take time to provide thoughts on how you can assist with your child’s learning growth at home.

Have a discussion with your child about their progress:

-Ask what they are proud of?

-What was your best subject? Why do you think so?

-What do you hope for the rest of the Trimester? What are some ways you can make that happen?

Then set goals with your child for the rest of the Trimester and how they can be achieved. Remember it’s about personal progress and improvement. Everyone has areas of strength and areas that need more time to develop so it is important to share that with your child.

Students arriving at school after 8:35 a.m. are considered tardy and must report to the office before proceeding to class. Please remember that late students will interrupt instruction as they enter the classroom and likely will have missed important directions or introduction of a concept or skill. Constant tardiness will have an adverse effect on your child’s education. Excessive tardiness may result in consequences including, but not limited to, parent meetings and detention

TOYS PROTOCOL

Unless specifically requested by the teacher for show and tell or other classroom activities, NO TOYS are allowed at school or on the bus. This includes trading cards, fidget toys, figurines, toy cars, dolls, games, balls etc. (toys can be disruptive to the learning environment and cause jealousy among the other children). If toys are found at school they will be collected by the teacher for safekeeping and returned after school.

ALICE

Officer Medina and Mr. Aguiar recently visited all classrooms to provide additional training and information in the case of an emergency at school. We will be providing additional training opportunities throughout the year in addition to our annual fire drills. If anyone has any specific questions please contact Kevin Aguiar at kaguiar@westportschools.org

Closing or delaying the opening of school by 60, 90, or 120 minutes because of

weather conditions is occasionally necessary for the safety of students. The decision to

delay or close school is made as early as circumstances permit. Usually the decision is

made by 5:00 a.m., but changing weather conditions could result in a later decision. The

fact that the decision must be made so early in the morning makes it difficult to make

decisions with precision. Also, the expediency with which the Town and State get the

snowplows and salt trucks out enters into the decision-making process. The

Superintendent makes the final decision to cancel classes based on the best information

available at the time and with student safety in mind. Once the decision is made, messages

go out through the “School Brains” system and posted on the district website. We then

contact the area radio and TV stations. The timeliness of radio and TV station broadcasts

is beyond our local control. We request that you do not call the schools or school personnel

because business telephone lines must be kept clear.
