First Snow!
|
|
With today's early snow, we are reminded of the challenges that can come during winter. Please remember to keep an eye on WMUR for all
delay and cancellation news. A reminder that we have 4.5 weather days built into our calendar. Should we go beyond that, we may be required to add days to the end of the year.
Generally speaking, we follow the Manchester School District in terms of snow day determinations, given our bussing arrangement with the District. We wait until they have decided the plan (delay or closure), and then we post our own school on
WMUR as well. In the event that we are doing something different than the District of Manchester, we will send out an all-school alert via our ALMA (student information) system.
Two important reminders, when we have a delayed opening, there is NO BeforeCare and NO class for Kinders. KinderCare on Delayed Opening Days begins at 12noon.
Now that the cold weather is here, please be sure that your child comes to school with
appropriate winter gear - coats, boots, gloves and hats. We will go outside for recess and fitness (Mondays) unless the real feel is below 20 degrees. If you need assistance gathering those items for your child, please be in touch with Meryl.
Thank you to all of the parents and guardians who attended
Fall Conference Day earlier this week. It was wonderful to see the constant flow of families taking time to meet with our teachers and other staff.
And a HUGE thanks to the many of you who shared goodies with us for the catered luncheon aimed at keeping our very busy teachers well fed during the long day!
