From the Desk of Ellen Knippel, Principal
Dear Parents,
It is GREAT to be back! It has been a long week at home. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my faculty and staff for the great work they accomplished in my absence. I am truly blessed to have such an amazing staff!
Also, I am happy to report that we presently have 0 positive cases in our school and just 2 students in quarantine. Keep up the good work!
Our first night of conferences went well. We will finish with conferences on Thursday evening. Teachers will reach out to those few families that need to reschedule.
Halloween is just around the corner! Classrooms will celebrate on Friday, October 29th. We will have our traditional parade around the outside of school (weather permitting) and end on the playground (All students are encouraged to bring a costume - students in K3, K4 and K5 may wear their costume to school as their celebrations will be in the morning). The parade will begin around 1:00pm. Parents and younger siblings are welcome to attend. The parade route will begin outside the main entrance and loop around the playground. There are a limited number of parents that will be helping with parties this year. We ask that you respect that number. If you are not helping with Halloween celebrations, there will be other opportunities throughout the year.
Trunk or Treat will be on Friday, October 29th from 5-6:30pm on the lower playground. This has always been a fun, safe, outside event. We look forward to all the creative decorations! This is a student event sponsored by our school committee and I respectfully request there be no alcoholic beverages on the school grounds.
Blessings,
Mrs. Ellen Knippel
