Dear Fine Families,
This week certainly reminded us that winter is still very much in charge! Thanks to the recent snowstorm, we found ourselves with two snow days and a three-day school week, but our students and staff made the most of every moment we had together. Classrooms were filled with focus, flexibility, and great learning despite the shortened week.
As a result of the storm, we did need to make a few schedule adjustments. Some Scholastic Book Fair shopping dates have been rescheduled, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and flexibility. Please be sure to review the updated Book Fair schedule in the PTO section below so your child doesn’t miss out on this exciting event.
Additionally, our Multicultural Night has been postponed and will now take place on Thursday, April 16th. While we were disappointed to delay this special evening, we are very much looking forward to celebrating our diverse community together this spring.
It is also important to note that snow days result in a change to our end-of-year calendar. The last day of school for grades 1–4 will now be Monday, June 22nd. Kindergarten’s last day remains June 5th and will only change if we experience five or more cancellations.
Looking ahead, we invite our students and staff to participate in Sports Team Theme Day on Friday, February 6th as we celebrate both the Super Bowl and the Winter Olympics. Students are encouraged to wear their favorite sports or team gear! Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership. We appreciate the flexibility and positive spirit that make our school community such a special place. Warm regards, Suzy Dalessio, Principal |

❄️☃️ Cold Weather Reminder |
We go outside every day that the “feels-like” temperature is above 25 degrees, so please be sure to send your student with warm winter coats, hats, gloves or mittens, and appropriate footwear each day. Layering helps in keeping our students comfortable throughout the day!
If your family needs help finding winter gear, just reach out. No one should be cold on our watch! |
A reminder to all families: Every school day matters for student success. While we recognize the value of family time, cultural experiences, and enrichment activities, families are reminded to consider the impact of missed class time. Vacation/extracurricular absences are unexcused and represent learning time that cannot be recovered.
If you have questions about attendance or need support, please reach out. We appreciate your partnership in your child's education. |
