We are rapidly approaching the end of March.  It is amazing how during the month of March our weather changes! Signs of Spring are everywhere! If you have the opportunity to take a look at our garden boxes, you can see the bulbs planted by our students in the fall beginning to sprout.  

 

Please follow our Drop-off and Pick-up Procedures to ensure an orderly and safe transition from home to school.  Please review our procedures and expectations by clicking the link below.

 

 

The parking spaces along the driveway at Bales are reserved for Student Services Staff and Visitors to Bales. Moving forward please do not park in these spaces.

Please find attached to this email several district-approved fliers including an updated copy of the Lunch Menu for April, information regarding the Galactic Get Together and Grand Monadnock Youth Choir.

 

In closing, I want to thank our families for your diligence in having your students at school on time and well-prepared for learning each day. In addition, please continue to be mindful that our students’ academic day continues until dismissal at 2:45 each afternoon.  It is very important that students are not dismissed early unless an unavoidable appointment or emergency is involved as valuable instruction from the teacher can be missed.

 

I also want to take a moment to thank all of our parents and guardians for your continued support of our school community. Whether it's volunteering in the classroom, attending school events, or simply encouraging your child to do their best, your involvement makes a real difference.

 

Sincerely, 

 

Tim O’Connell

 

Principal
