Our school year will be focused on creating a sense of belonging. I continue to be in awe of how our cummunity within and beyond the school demonstrates exceptional sense of interconnectedness. As we get ready to start the year, we have a few bits of information that you might find helpful. While we are prparing for the year ahead, we want to onvite you to share thoughts, concerns, ideas and ask questions. We are excited to welcome our new staff members: Cindy Parent~ 6th grade lead teacher; Hope Yeager~ 4/5 multi-age lead teacher; Kelley Donnell~1st grade lead teacher, and Jasper Lynch~ Art teacher. We also have staff moving into new roles this year including Amanda Yates (shifting from interventioninst to her continued work in 3rd grade); and Sarah Day, who will be moving into the interventionists and MTSS Roll.

If you are availble, please consider joining us at the school to help get our grounds ready for the new year. With us having untraditional classroom spaces outside and with the school grounds being owned by the town, we are grateful for the extra hands to help us spruce up our outdoor spaces. We have some tools, but feel free to bring your own to help!

Jasper Lynch is joining us this year as our Art teacher and will be helping us with our absenses by stepping in as a subsititue where needed. We are very excited to have Jasper's joyful energy, creative interdisciplinary lesson planning and passion for creating brave spaces for children to express themselves!
