SUPERINDENTENT’S CORNER
Greetings!
I am thrilled that we have been able to begin this school year with 100% in-person instruction. I be-lieve the effort everyone put into making this work last spring prepared us for a smooth transition this September for students and staff. We will continue to work hard to keep everyone safe while we deliver total in-person instruction
Let’s hope all continues to go well and we can con-tinue moving forward. Thank you for your patience and understanding. Be safe and be well.
Sincerely,
Edward Stoloski
Superintendent
PRINCIPAL’S NEWS
Dear Parents, Last month we were very excited to wel-come parents back to our building for our two Back-to-School Nights. It was great to see everyone walking the hallways and meeting with the teachers to learn about their child’s schedule, curriculum and requirements for the 2021-2022 school year. In October, we will once again have our Discover Running Race. Discov-er Running has been a fixture at our school for over 42 years and we are thrilled to have this event once again. Information will be sent shortly, but I encourage you to come out and support your children. Parent-Teacher conferences will be held in-person on November 17th and 18th. You will be receiving information this month, so please be on the lookout for sign-up forms. I would like to recognize our teachers for the amazing job they are doing transitioning our students back to a traditional school day. Our students are happy and thriving in the environment they are creating.
Sincerely,
John Capuano
Principal
