School might be out, but Box Tops are always in! Remember to clip and save your Box Tops over the Summer. You can return them to the Main Office glued to a Collection Sheet when school starts again in September. Contact Kristen D’Ambrosio with any questions. Thank you!
Teachers have already begun collaborating to create classes for the 2018-19 school year. The process involves looking at gender, ethnicity, academic ability and the need for additional services. The school’s goal is to create balanced classrooms so that all students and teachers have comparable work environments. Ass’t Principal Kathy Lane will host two coffees for parents that want to bring exceptional cases to the school’s attention with regards to class placement for their children. Forms will be available to share important information that will inform the placement process. Forms will not be handed out or accepted after the coffees, so plan to attend either the June 20th Morning Session at 8:30am or the June 20th Evening Session at 6pm. Please note that the school will not accept requests for specific teachers at any time. Please contact the main office with any questions.
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!!! It’s the end of the school year and there’s no better way to kick off the summer than having 16 Handles with your friends! Join your Northeast Family & Friends on June 22nd at 16 Handles to support Northeast’s annual 5th Grade Nature’s Classroom Camping Trip. 16 Handles will donate 15% of their sales between 12 and 6pm to support the Nature’s Classroom Trip– a once-in-a-lifetime 4-day/3-night camping trip to Silver Bay, NY that our students look forward to throughout their Northeast career. More than half of our students will need some-to-significant financial aid to participate… we need your help to make this trip happen. THANK YOU!
The Food Bank “Summer Lunches” Food Drive is happening at schools around Stamford.
