Military Deployment: We would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge that many families in our district are directly impacted by the recent deployment of Vermont service men and women. If you or your family are affected by this deployment and wish the school to be aware of your situation or provide additional support within the school for your child, please let us know. You can contact Sara Pennock, our School Counselor, anytime to share concerns, questions or just make us aware of anything your child might be dealing with during this time. 888-3101

IF WE CLOSE OR DELAY SCHOOL DUE TO INCLEMENT WEATHER , the VT Association of School Broadcasters will be notified for their announcements. This information is distributed to TV and radio stations throughout the state no later than 6:45 am. Locally families can access radio stations WCVT - 101.7 FM( Waterbury ), WDEV - 96.1 FM or 550 AM ( Waterbury ), WLVB - 93.9 FM (Morrisville) and WCAX TV (Channel 3) for announcements. For a delay, we will start at 10:30 am and the buses will run two hours late.

COLD WEATHER NOTE - We always have outside recess unless it is raining, dangerously icy or the chill factor is below zero. Please make sure your children dress appropriately. If students want to slide at school, we ask that they wear coat, gloves, snow pants and boots.

PLEASE UPDATE US! If we should have to close school early, we will follow the directions you have given us on where to send your child. Please call or send a note if you need to change the directions for unscheduled early dismissal for your child/children.

A SAFETY REMINDER TO ELEMENTARY BUILDING PARENTS – In order to avoid kids running in between cars and to limit the confusion so children can get safely into the building in the morning, we ask that children are dropped off in the right lane of our circle on the sidewalk side of the car. If you want to come in with your child, please park in the parking areas and not in the circle. In the afternoon, please pick up your children promptly at 2:45 pm so the circle is free for the busses at 2:50 pm. Thank you.

SCHOOL MEALS - We ask students to bring in meal payments on Mondays in an envelope with a payment form included. Extra forms are available from Joy Jensvold at the Graded Building or from the Elementary office. Families are reminded that applications for free or reduced meals can be made at any time during the school year. Please contact the school at 888-3101. Adults are welcome to join students for lunch at a cost of $4.35 or at breakfast for a cost of $2.85. Milks are $.40 this year unless a meal is purchased. If a child's account is low, a note is sent home in the weekly folder so families will know. Remember that we do ask you to credit your child's account ahead each week or for longer periods, if you wish.

LOST AND FOUND: There are many “found” items in the bins at school. Please have your child check for what he/she is missing. Labels in your child's clothing and footwear help us to connect the lost item to its owner. Thank you

NOTES FOR SCHOOL OFFICE – Please write your child's first and last name on any correspondence that comes to school. Thank you.
