Congratulations to the Graduating Class of 2015! We look forward to a memorable graduation event on the Town Green this evening. Best wishes to all of our graduates as they move on to the next phase in their lives.

As one school year comes to a close, we will be busy this summer preparing for the 2015/2016 school year and want to share the following with you.

New Director of Special Education

Please join us in welcoming Dr. Elizabeth Battaglia, Director of Special Education, on Wednesday, July 8, 2015 from 3 -5 p.m. in the Hammonasset Room at Central Office. All families are welcome to meet Dr. Battaglia at this reception.

Summer Reading List and Summer Math

Summer reading and math lists are now posted on our website and can be found in the Student drop-down menu and on each school’s homepage. Our user-friendly reading lists are appropriately categorized for each grade level, with book reviews/descriptions for many of the books listed. In addition, our math packets have great suggestions to incorporate summer fun into understanding math concepts.

Periodically I like to share videos that I believe parents might find interesting. However, I’m confident that you will find this one humorous, courtesy of a Coppertone commercial…enjoy!
