ePack #3

Dear Families:

Happy Autumn to all of you!  The children at recess have certainly enjoyed a great stretch of weather this week.  Our students have settled into the school year and have become accustomed to their routines.  We are still working on appropriate school behavior in some areas - cafeteria, waiting for buses, transitions, etc.  I'm confident we will show improvement in these areas.  

Core Values:  At a recent staff meeting, the Community School staff discussed and decided on our school's core values - what is truly important for our staff and student body - Collaboration, Accountability, Respect, Empathy, Success.  

September 28th:  Kindergarten and Grade One will begin library circulation next week. Thank you to our volunteers!

First Fire Drill:  Our first fire drill went very smoothly!  Thank you to our staff members for guiding our students through this drill.  

Twitter:  Please don't forget to follow us on Twitter:  @CommunityComets.

Remind:  Would you like free text message reminders from Community School?  Click here for details.  

Soup and Cookies:  Please remember our Soup and Cookies fundraiser ends on October 2nd.  If you need further information, please contact the PTO.

Walk to School Day:  This is scheduled for October 7th.  Additional details will be sent home next week.  

That's all for now!  Have a nice weekend!

Mr. Gaudette

ePack #2

Dear Families:

I look forward to seeing you this evening at Open House.  I hope you enjoy touring your child's classroom and meeting his/her teacher. Please check out our PTO table, as well. 

Tuesday, September 22nd:  If you purchased a bus pass for your child, the passes will go "live" on this day.  Please make sure your child has his/her pass attached to their backpack.  If you filled out an application and purchased a pass and your child doesn't have it yet, please contact the school.  

Wednesday, September 23rd:  The North Attleboro Fire Department will help us conduct our first fire drill on this day.  We will inform all of the children so they are aware of the drill.  

School Crossing Guards/Substitute Teachers/Paraprofessionals needed:  Please check Human Resources web site.

Student Handbook: There is no Student Handbook available yet as all of the elementary principals are in the process of adding multiple updates. It should be available by the end of the month.

That's all for now. Have a great weekend!

ePack #1

Dear Families,

Welcome to the Community School ePack!  The ePack will house a weekly update from me and PDF flyers for you to view.  I hope you will take the time to read my weekly letters as you will learn about the past week at Community School.  

Back to School:  It has been a difficult transition back to school this year given the extremely high temperatures.  Thank you to our staff members for keeping our students as cool as possible.  With that said, we are trying to get into a rhythm to our school year since we have had two short weeks in a row.  

Emergency/Contact Forms:  Please make sure to return all of the back to school paperwork that was sent out last Friday.  Thanks!

Student Handbook:  I am holding off on releasing the Student Handbook because there is some additional language that all principals must include.  Please look for information in next week's ePack.  

Arrival:  We ask that children please not be dropped off prior to 8:05 a.m.  The school opens for students at 8:05 a.m.  Also, please drop your child off at the door to the school.  We have many staff members on duty who will guide your child to the gym.  Thank you for your cooperation.  

Dismissal:  We have many walkers this year and we have noticed that parents are pulling into the Barrows Street parking lot.  This is obviously very dangerous. All parents picking up their children at Door A must park on Barrows Street.  Please do not park in the parking lot as a child will be hit by a moving car.  

Open House:  This is scheduled for Thursday, September 17th.  The schedule is as follows:

  • Kindergarten and Grade 5 at 6:00 p.m.
  • Grades 1-4 at 6:30 p.m.

PTO:  Thank you to those parents who were able to attend last night's PTO meeting. Please keep your eye on the Community School web page calendar for future dates. 

Twitter:  Please remember you can follow our school on Twitter:  @CommunityComets 

Have a great weekend, 

Mr. Gaudette
