Dear Families,
I hope everyone has had a wonderful summer! The countdown is on for the 2025–26 school year to begin. Our first day of school for students in Kindergarten through 5th grade will be Wednesday, August 27th.
Arrival and Dismissal:
- Car Riders & Walkers:
Students arriving by car or on foot should be dropped off and picked up at the front of the building, where Miss Heidi and I will be there to greet them and assist with arrival and dismissal.- Drop-off begins at 8:50 AM.
- Afternoon dismissal begins at 3:25 PM.
We encourage all families to arrive promptly at 8:50 so the day can start on time and students who wish to have breakfast will have time to eat before class begins.
- Traffic Flow Reminders:
- Please line up along the front of the building and up Meetinghouse Hill Road.
- If you need to assist your child out of the car, do not park in the front loop as it slows down the traffic line.
- You may also park at the Town Hall, Mann House, or Church and walk your child to the front door.
- Bus Riders:
Students arriving and departing by bus will be greeted and dismissed at the back of the building by Mrs. O’Mara and Ms. Tousignant.
Meet & Greet:
We invite you to a Meet and Greet on Tuesday, August 26th from 1:00–2:00 PM. This is a great opportunity for students and families to visit classrooms, meet teachers, and ease those first-day jitters.
First Week Special Schedule:
- Wednesday: Art
- Thursday: Music
- Friday: PE
Preschool:
Preschool will begin on Tuesday, September 2nd and will run both AM and PM sessions Monday – Thursday again this year.
Bus Routes:
Bus routes have been sent out and are also available on our website. While minor adjustments may occur, no major changes are expected. During the first couple of weeks, please arrive at your stop early as we fine-tune timing.
Meals & Pricing:
- Breakfast: $2.00

This year, we are also offering à la carte options such as fruit, veggies, entrées, and sides, ranging from $0.50 to $2.50. This allows students to select extra items or just parts of a meal.
We are so excited to welcome our students back to school. It’s going to be an amazing year! Enjoy these last two weeks of summer vacation—we’ll see you soon!
