No School- Veteran's Day
Dear Parents:
Please note that we will be sending mass emails and text messages using MSP (our school's information system). If you receive a voice message from the school, please check your text messages prior to calling the school. The text message will give you the information you need. 
In an effort to keep our parents informed regarding important issues pertaining to your children, we will be using this system more often. This is the same system we used for school closings and delays in the past.
Congratulations to our own soccer stars, Fifth Graders, Katerina Koutouvides and Sydney Dettmer! Their Stamford Hurricane Girls U-11 Team have made the Connecticut Cup quarter finals and will be playing on Saturday, 10/22 at 12 noon at West Beach. Please come to support our girls!
God Bless,
Mrs. Cruz
