Tunbridge Fair will be here before you know it. Please save the date of 9/14 for Education day! We need chaperones and we would love you have parent/guardians/friends of family commit early. We need you to fill out the 2023-2024 Vermont Criminal Information Form and share a copy of your license with our main office.

First Branch News!


Hello First Branch,


We have a few key points this week. Please see below.


1) Tunbridge Bus Routes will be combined next week. Mr. Troy will drive the route. We are sorry for the inconvenience. The schedule from January will be used. Please see the schedule for more information.

5/19/2023 Bus Double Run (T1 & T2) 2022-2023


2) Many thanks to all our students that contributed to our food shelf "gift in kind" food drive to close our teacher appreciation week. First Branch Unified District will donate 113 items to the Chelsea and Tunbridge community food shelves.


3) This week, Associate Principal Kate Liptak shared a letter of resignation with Superintendent Kinnarney and Principal Cash as she has accepted a K-6 principal job closer to home. The First Branch Unified District Board of School Directors and faculty were notified on Wednesday. We are grateful for Ms. Kate's leadership within her role at First Branch this year and wish her all the best on her next adventure! WRVSU Central Office is working with First Branch Administration on creating a timeline and search committee for the Associate Principal role—more info to follow.


4) Finally, we had a great day meeting our rising Kindergarten students at the kindergarten screening. If you have a rising Kindergarten student or know of a student who missed out, please connect with our main office at Tunbridge Central School. 


Be well and gave a wonderful weekend!


Janet Cash
