A note from Principal Stetson
Dear Rochester & Stockbridge families,
We've had a great week of school! This week students in 4th, 5th & 6th grade took their first field trip of the school year to the Tunbridge Fair. Make sure you take a moment to see samples of students poetry and drawings written during Outdoor Education class this week. Starting next week the newsletter will include snap shots of what is happening in different classrooms!
Snack Expectations
Each class has a morning snack time during which the school provides fresh fruit & vegetables. If you are going to send your student with snacks from home we ask that you keep the following in mind:
- Please do not send candy, soda, energy type drinks, or caffeinated drinks - they are not allowed during school hours
- Water bottles & water are allowed and available all throughout the day
Volunteer Forms
If you plan on volunteering in a classroom or being a chaperone on a field trip, please stop in the front office to complete the required paperwork in person with either Erica or Janet. This must be done in person and can not be emailed or mailed. Please bring a valid photo ID.
Early Release
Tomorrow, Friday September 15th is our first noon dismissal for students in Kindergarten through sixth grade. One Planet is available in the afternoon. Please make sure to notify Erica & Janet of your students' dismissal plan. The bus will depart school at noon and run its normal after school routes at that time! As a reminder there is no preschool on early release days.
Attendance Policy Reminders
As a reminder our attendance policy, as determined by state statue, that when students are absent for 5 or more days (regardless of why) that we send home notice of supports available - should absences become a pattern. If you have any questions about this please let me know!
