Dear Moose,
The crisp fall weather has arrived! We have finished our first full week of school. I have had great fun popping into each grade's google classroom and meets. It is VERY obvious that the students are feeling more comfortable with the technology and the structure of the day. I've been seeing children using the chats, microphones, small group links and other technology with ease! This will only get more comfortable as the learning progresses.
Children have been busy writing, reading, thinking about math and connecting as a classroom. It has been a delight to see students completing science experiments and also doing artwork and taking a stretch/movement break with games. Remember, half days continue through next week. We begin full days of instruction on October 5th. The afternoons will be a mix of asynchronous lessons and specials and possibly some small groups.
Thank you to the PTO for facilitating the annual Mums Sale! It was very successful! Thank you to those families who purchased some mums to support our awesome school.
Cocoa Vincenzo Wyola is in rehearsals for SEASON 2 of Moose TV. He knows that you have all been anxiously awaiting his return. We hope to have Moose TV Season 2, Episode 1 available next Friday!
Happy Weekend,
Jackie
*ATTENDANCE INFO – Teachers will be taking attendance this year so it is important that your student participates in their live meets and turns in their asynchronous work in Google Classrooms. If your child will be absent from remote learning, please let the classroom teacher know, as well as the office – [email protected] or 413-259-1212x0. If we do not hear from you when your child is not present, we will follow up with a call home. Thank you!

*LUNCH INFO - Just a reminder that free meals are available for anyone in your household under 18 years of age. This program will last until December of 2020 or until funding runs out. We are packing breakfast and lunch and distributing curbside pick up in the school parking lot on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1 until 5.
The lunch menu is on our website. We are asking that people sign up for the month and agree to pick food up in a specific time slot on every distribution day. The food is made specifically for your family and includes granola, yogurt, fresh bread, milk, juice, fruit, some veggies and pizza, and of course oven ready lunches. Please email Chef Gail: [email protected] with any questions or to sign up.
*RETURNING FORMS – In your materials pick up, you should have received a pocket folder with school information and forms. Please return these forms to school either via email (if there is no personal information on them), snail mail, or drop folders off at school in the lobby between 7am and 4pm, Monday – Friday. Thank you for your attention to this!
*TECH HELP – If you or your student need help with school devices or Google Classrooms, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Tech Coordinator, Debbie Lee, [email protected] or your classroom teacher.
Stay Connected with the Student Directory!
Every year the PTO puts together a Student Directory so that parents and students can stay connected. All the information you need for (virtual) playdates and parties is in one convenient place! It is very handy. If you would like your child’s contact information in the Student Directory, you must go to the web site and enter your child’s information. The web address is https://ses-directory.org/ Please enter your information by September 30th.
If you have any questions, please contact me by email [email protected] or phone 413-336-1616.
Thank you, Melissa
