Hello, Metacomet Families,
As part of our October Spirit Day our students may wear unmatched or wacky clothes on Friday, October 30. Thank you!
I am calling to remind you that students are not to bring medications into school. All medicine must be dropped off by a guardian and a note from the doctor must be given to our school nurse. This includes inhalers, aspirin, cough drops, etc.
Also, if you are changing your child's dismissal plans, please call the office before 2:00 pm. We need to make sure we reach the teacher with the message before the buses begin picking up our students. Thank you!!!

For those families that are not decorating your car, you will need to pay $5.00. You can place the money in an envelope with Trunk or Treat written on it. Your child can give to their teacher.
