(And so glad to have Mrs. Kukta's class back with us, in person!)
Daisy Friends,
Hope that everyone is enjoying this glorious weekend!!!
As we gear up to finish the final four weeks of school strong, this is what you need to know:
- Despite the recent news blasts from the CDC, schools are still expected to maintain mask and social distancing protocols for the remainder of this school year and over the summer for Extended School Year and Summer Learning Academy.
- Superintendent Martineau reminds us that mask mandates and social distancing will be in effect for all end-of-year events, per CT DPH guidelines.
- These safety protocols have served us well, helping us to remain in-person in school throughout this entire school year and, obviously, none of our students at the elementary level are eligible for vacinations yet.
Also, for the week ahead:
- Our third- and fourth-graders will complete SBAC Assessments this week. Each class will have two sessions of Math and these dates/times are on our Daisy Staff Google Calendar. Our students and proctors completed a most successful week of testing last week and I am so proud of everyone's efforts.
- For those classes working and playing outside, please be cognizant of the classes in SBAC testing. Please stay away from the windows of those classrooms and keep the noise levels down, both outside and inside.
- Also, our K-3 Classroom Teachers will be participating in the "Foundations of Reading Survey," which is mandated by the CSDE. This will take place on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons from Noon-3 pm in the Staff Lunchroom. Each day, three teachers will participate in the online survey. We ask for everyone's support of our colleagues during this time, especially:
- Please know that class coverage may be challenging and we ask for everyone's support with this. With this need, added to usual absences, it may be necessary to pull additional staff members for coverage.
- Also, please know that our Staff Lunch Room will not be available to others on these days from noon-3 pm. We have no other rooms available for this purpose as we are currently using every single space that we have at Daisy. Therefore, please retrieve your lunches and other needed items from the room before noon and enjoy an outside space for lunch.
- THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR YOUR SUPPORT!!!
Another Amazing Art Project!!!
