Reminders for Parents

A couple of important reminders:

Morning Drop & Go:  The curb in front of the school is for Drop & Go only.  If your child is not ready to immediately exit the car on their own, please park in a designated parking spot.  Parents should NOT be exiting their car in the Drop & Go area.

Remote Learning:  Remote learning is ONLY for students that are required to be home due to a COVID-related concern.  Any other reason for keeping a student home (late night, appointment, car trouble, etc), will require the student to miss the day and make up the work when they return.

Important Reminder For Current Grade 6 Parents

Many of our 6th grade students will be bringing home a reminder letter from the school nurse today and a Blue Health Form (State of CT Health Assessment Record) .  The nurse has already spoken with the students bringing home this information.  Please discuss with your child and review the letter.   As a reminder, an updated State of CT Health Assessment Record (signed by the child’s doctor) must be on file with the school BEFORE they start their 7th Grade year (students cannot start in September without this on file).   If your child has recently had a physical, please have the provider complete the Health Form and return it to Mrs. Vignati as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, contact Mrs. Vignati at 860-643-5088 (ext. 3)
