#EngageEnergizeEducate
January 2nd - January 5th
Dear Families,
We were happy to welcome back students to school on Tuesday, January 2nd. This week we began our month of focusing on goal setting during Mrs. Dohoney’s announcements and during our weekly Social Emotional Learning (SEL) video that I showed during lunch. Students discussed goals and how to take steps to be successful at making progress toward their goals. We encourage you to discuss learning goals with your child/children.

Electronic Devices
We are aware that technology has become an integral part of education today. Without approval from school personnel, students may not bring any personal electronic devices and/or accessories to school. This includes, but is not limited to: cameras, game consoles, tablets, cellular phones, and smartwatches/wearables. If a student is found to have brought an electronic device to school without prior permission, the student will be directed to place the device in his/her backpack. After one reminder, the device will be placed in the Principal’s Office for the parent to retrieve. The school is not responsible for any lost, stolen or damaged devices. (from page 9, Elementary School Handbook 2023-2024)
Attendance
Did you know that if your child has seven or more unexcused absences they are considered chronically absent?
Please plan your vacations around our school calendar and have your child attend school daily, and arrive on time ( by 8:50 am ) when they are well.
