PTO News - Hard copies of letters and raffle tickets came home this week via backpacks.  Upcoming events:
  • Soup Supper Sun., April 29 - 4-6 PM serving several types of soup, homemade bread, coffee, lemonade, and water.  Adult $8; Child $5; Family $20.
  • CSA Raffle - We are selling the raffle tickets for a CSA share from Sunrise Farm.  $5. each or $25. for 6 tickets.  26 weeks of local, certified-organic vegetables, starting the week of April 30th.  Market style, you choose your veggies every week.  Pick your own flowers, herbs, plus honey, maple syrup, eggs, meats and lots of local produce.  The drawing will be held at school on May 4, 2018.

SBAC Testing - It is that time of year again where our students show the State what amazing learners they are!  The annual SBAC testing begins this week for Gr. 3-6.  Here is the schedule.  Please make sure your child has a good night's sleep, and  breakfast with protein to help them do their best on the test.  There is no studying, just a good mental state and the desire to do their best is all that's needed!  Please try and have your Gr. 3-6 students arrive promptly and avoid appointments during these two weeks during school hours.  Thanks for your help!  

School Configuration 2018-19 - The WCUD Board met last week and voted to leave Gr. 6 students here for the 2018-19 school year, but we did lose a teacher.  Ms. Denoya will be teaching at Woodstock Elementary next year which is closer to her home.  As it stands now, the classroom configuration for next year is K/1, 2/3, and 4/5/6.  This will be revisited in JUNE after enrollment numbers and staffing changes are solidified.  We are trying to model for the students the mindfulness strategies we have learned and stay in the present.  I will keep you informed via the blog.   

Pre-K Registration - Parents of PK parents, please register your students using the WCUD forms linked here.  All students must register for five days though we understand that they may not attend all five.
