Spring has sprung!

Today is Jiji Day (celebrating Jiji's 26th birthday!), and fifth graders created origami Jiji's to celebrate! Students in grades K-5 are also participating in the Puzzle Olympics this week to see which classroom can collect the most puzzles in a 26-minute timespan of gameplay on ST Math!


Attention TPS families! The PTA are excited to announce that our new spirit wear is now available for purchase! Show off your school pride with our stylish and comfortable apparel options with an updated logo. Whether you're a student, parent, or staff member, we have something for everyone. Visit our fully online store today to browse our selection and place your order. Hurry, flash sale prices are only available until May 11th!


Summer is coming quickly and there is still work to do and activities to schedule. At the bottom of this blog is a list of already scheduled events. I will keep a running list in chronological order for the rest of the year. This list will also grow as we solidify other dates (I'm looking at you, field day). As we approach the end of the year, it's also a great time to get some feedback from all of you. I'd ask you to take a few minutes to complete this survey on how we're doing. My intention is to share the results with the school council on May 15th, so please complete this by Friday, May 12th.

For everyone: Popsicles On the Playground! Or as I've decided to call it, POP   is scheduled for this Friday (8/25) from 4:00-6:00. Enjoy some community and popsicles while your kids reacquaint themselves with our playground and each other. I am monitoring the weather closely and will make a decision on Friday if the event needs to be moved inside. Following the event, the Princeton Police Department will be hosting an event on-site, showing a movie and selling refreshments.  For everyone (Middle School take notice): The district has opened  up   PowerSchool   so you should be able to see your child's teacher/schedule. I know this is an exciting time for kids! It is for us, too! I'm asking that you don't look too deeply into the special classes as these typically take us a few weeks to iron out. Don't worry, your students will be in specials but how they are input into PowerSchool over the summer and how they look in the building don't always align perfectly. Al

All the things!

The Middle School started the week off with a special presentation from Mr. John Frost. He travels the world witnessing and documenting eclipses. He shared his passion with the Middle Schoolers and explained the coming eclipse to them. The kids left excited about this upcoming phenomenon! Just a reminder that April 8th is a school day.  The bus company has asked me to remind parents that any balls transported on the bus should be tucked into backpacks before boarding. Apparently, there have been some issues with loose balls rolling around buses and this can be a safety hazard. Thanks for your attention to this matter.  As you may know, our courtyards are maintained by volunteers. They are due up for their spring cleanup . Ms. Santello will be leading a group of volunteers to tackle the Bangrazi courtyard on Saturday, April 6th from 9:00-2:00. Help clean up the raised garden beds, rake leaves, weed, and plant. Snacks and coffee provided. Contact Ms. Santello at elaine_santello@wrsd.net

I'd like to introduce our newest staff member. This week, we were lucky to have Caitlyn Lafleche join our team as a paraprofessional. She mostly works in 5th and 6th grades but we all know our paraprofessionals jump in to help everywhere so you may hear her name. This means we are nearly fully staffed! We are, however, still looking for help in the kitchen. We have a great team down there in a newly updated kitchen. If you'd like to learn more about joining us, please don't hesitate to reach out with questions or even better, apply here .  As we look ahead to next week I wanted to remind everyone that Wednesday is a half day with dismissal occurring at 11:55. Please make sure to update your School Dismissal Manager if your child's dismissal will be different on that day. If your child will be taking a different bus or getting off at a different stop, please send them in with a paper note as well to give to the driver.  This is followed by our Open House on Thursday even
