16 days left!

As we roll into the final 16 days of school there, are many activities and appointments. This is when it is most important to stay on top of our procedures. Please make sure you are updating School Dismissal Manager with any changes before 1:00 daily. 



This week grades K-4 went on a field trip to see Ada Twist, Scientist & Friends at the Hanover Theatre. The musical is based on the books Rosie Revere, Engineer; Iggy Peck, Architect; and Ada Twist Scientist by Andrew Beaty. It also ties in nicely with our STEAM school as a celebration and a great shared community experience. Judging by the students' reports and the joyous pictures, fun was had by all! 



Congratulations to our 5th - 8th Track team! Both boys and girls brought home the hardware in the district meet this year. We had several wonderful individual performances but they won this as a team. TPS - District Champs!

Speaking of track, a note from one of our former runners: 
"Dear TPS families,
Summer is just around the corner, and we would love for you to join us for our 3rd annual, 4-week running clinic from June 18th through July 12th. It will occur on the backfield at TPS 1-2 times a week. There is no charge, and children of all abilities who are rising from 1st through 6th grades are welcome, even if you can't make it to all of our sessions. We hope you can join us!"

Save the date! Field Day 2024 is coming! Thank you to Mrs. McDonald and the PTA! We are looking forward to another EPIC field day to close out the school year on June 12th. Details can be found in the electronic folder. We are looking for volunteers. If you'd like to join us you can sign up here.

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

Fun Run!

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
