We have two upcoming field trips: a trip to Haddam Center and a day long visit to the Old State House in Hartford. We will spend the entire morning on Monday, April 29th with a walking tour and visits to the Thankful Arnold House, Town Offices, and Brainerd Academy in Haddam Center. Our second field trip will be to the Old State House Museum in Hartford on Friday, May 3rd. More information about each trip, including permission slips and chaperone opportunities will be sent home with your child very soon. Please mark your calendar, as well, for our Grade 3 Ringing Out, Music Concert, Haddam History Showcase, and End of Year Celebration - all scheduled in one fun-filled afternoon on June 7th from 12:15 to the end of the day. As always, we appreciate your support!
We are looking forward to sharing your child's progress with you next week! Please be sure to check in with your child's teacher if you have not yet scheduled a time to come in. Conferences are 20 minutes and we work hard to be respectful of each family's time. Please note that our school will also have the Book Fair running the week of October 22 - 26. Pay them a visit!
