Principal's Letter

 

May 18, 2012

Dear Elsmere Families,

First, thank you to all for voting on the school budget this week. The community’s support of the school district is so important. This will help us reach our collective goal of providing a top education for our children.

Congratulations to our fourth and fifth grade musicians and teachers Mrs. Van Voris, Ms. Vitale and Mr. Pisanello. Their spring concert yesterday evening was terrific.

Speaking of fifth graders, our “senior” students have a few big events coming up. Today, fifth graders had an on-site orientation at the middle school. Next week, they travel to Becket, Massachusetts for Nature’s Classroom. These students also have Friendship Games, the Pit Party and Moving Up in the near future.

As the fifth graders prepare to move on to the middle school, our youngest Elsmere Family members come for an initial visit at Kindergarten Screening next week. Students, if you see these new kids in the hall, please be sure to give them a special smile.

Next week is also Healthy Kids Week and Screen Free Week. Please see the flyer sent home today with great ways to participate, including Family Game Night on Wednesday!

The weather has been so beautiful lately that it has allowed us to enjoy much time outdoors. But with more time being spent outside, parents are urged to daily check your children for ticks. These little insects seem to be out in record numbers this year!

As faculty begins to formulate classes for next year, parents may e-mail (kloskels@bcsd.neric.org) any special information regarding their child’s learning style. Requests for specific teachers or friend’s placements cannot be honored and letters must be received by Monday, May 21.

See you at the Applebee’s Breakfast on Saturday!
