DATES TO REMEMBER

September 23, 2016

Dear Moose,

It was lovely to see many parents and guardians at our Open House on Wednesday evening. Teachers spent time creating presentations that can give a picture into students' school-lives for the coming year. School Committee and PTO representatives spoke about their respective groups and parents and guardians were able to gather together in the gym. I shared some ways that families could be involved/volunteer/help at SES. I have included the list below-- please consider helping! If you are thinking about volunteering we will need you to complete a CORI form-- you can get one in the office.

• Library helper
• Lunch/Recess helper
• Club "supervisor" during recess
• Safety Committee
• PTO
• Artist-in-Residence helper

We have two parents who will be on our School Council, Rebecca Fil and Carrie Hawkins. Thanks Rebecca and Carrie!

Grades 5 and 6 went on an exciting excursion to Morse Hill on Thursday. They spent the day involved in teamwork and physical challenges. Teachers and students report that it was a fabulous and truly memorable trip. We have included a few pictures of the event.

​

This is a reminder to complete any forms if your student is interested in taking lessons from Mr. Peele or Mr. Bender.

I have spent some time this week working on bus behavior. Some buses are experiencing students who are being loud, changing seats, and not acting safely. Please spend a few minutes talking to your child about bus behavior. Students should talk quietly, stay in their seats, keep hands and feet to themselves and be respectful to the bus driver. I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

I hope you enjoy the weekend!
