Greetings Memorial School Community,

Please see the message below from the Sanborn Regional School District with information from this past week's School Board meeting.

Our holiday break begins Monday, December 21st and continues through January 1, 2021. The week of January 4, 2021 will be remote learning for all students in all buildings to accommodate any potential quarantine timelines for people traveling during the holiday. Our regular schedule with students attending school in-person (with the exception of the families who have  previously chosen for their students to attend remotely) will resume on Monday, January 11, 2021. 

At the School Board meeting Wednesday, the Board voted to extend the Early Release Wednesdays until the February break. This means that January 6, 13, 20 & 27, as well as February 3, 10 and 17 will be early release days for all students at Sanborn. This time is so important for our teachers and staff to plan and prepare lessons for our students to continue to grow and learn in all the various formats we are using. Knowing that we can use this time to support and strengthen learning will make our instruction more robust and suited for remote and in-person learning; we appreciate the Board’s decision. 

Please take a few minutes and see this message from Mr. Ambrose.

Kingston Recreation's new online gaming program

This week we saw colder temperatures, a tropical storm, and snow. As we continue to try and give students outdoor mask and movement breaks (when possible), it is so important that students come to school with weather appropriate clothing. Students are strongly encouraged to wear layers, bring a coat, have appropriate footwear, as well as a hat and mittens (as needed). Thank you for your support.

School is in person, but PTO is still virtual at this point, so please make sure your students join the Google Classroom: ibqcfon. This is where all our events will be. Also, don't forget to buy some swag for the 2020-2021 year at Memorial SWAG!

Our PTO Membership is drive is on and we need members to help us reach our goals and provide all the support we give to our teachers, school and students. Some of the things we do each year is provide classroom supplies, plan social events for students and families and in a normal year we pay for buses for field trips. So far this year we have provided lunch as well as breakfast and snacks for our teachers and for our students we have a scavenger hunt, kindness rocks, the opportunity to interview staff, and most recently make your own pizza kits and decorate your own apron kits! There is so much more fun on the way! Join the PTO today! Membership prices are as low as $1 due to covid. If you have any questions email memorialpto@sau17.net. Joining the Memorial School PTO is ongoing throughout the year.
