Please see the agenda below:

We also discussed student achievement and our efforts to build a positive school climate through incentives and celebrations.
Your attendance and ongoing engagement are needed and greatly appreciated! We look forward to seeing at our next PTO meeting on November 21, 2024.
Our goal is to keep you informed and partner with you to raise student achievement.
Thank you, parents and guardians for all you do!
Please continue to reinforce the below-referenced items at home:
1. Check PowerSchool on a weekly basis to remain informed of student academic performance. If you require assistance with gaining access to PowerSchool, please contact school counselors - Karen Goldman and Allison Glenney at (860) 286-2622.
2. Adhere to all academic and behavioral expectations including daily class schedules and school procedures/policies.
3. Come to school, daily, on time, in uniform, and focused on being successful!
4. Monitor your student’s peer groups and social activity outside of school. We must eliminate all distractions to teaching and learning! This is also applicable to cell phone use outside of school (i.e., social media activity including group chats).
5. Be prepared each day with:
a) Large 3-ring binder (that zips closed, if possible)

e) 2 pocket folders for each subject (i.e., math, science, language arts, and social studies)
f) Pencils and pens
6. Be present and on time for each class. Violation of this policy will result in detention and possibly suspension if chronic.
7. Ensure cell phones, ear pods, and Apple watches are not heard or seen by anyone at any time while in school. All will be confiscated should there be a violation of this expectation. In alignment with our efforts to reduce distractions and increase engagement, we will be more vigilant with enforcing our No Cell Phone Use Policy.

a. Collard Tops and Sweaters: White, Yellow, Black
b. Bottoms: Khaki, Navy, and Black
