A few things....

CMT Morning Tutorial begins tomorrow, January 29 at 7:50am.  If your child was asked to take part in the Reading/Language Arts CMT Tutorial, classes will be held on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.  If your child was asked to take part in the Math CMT Tutorial, classes will be held on Thurdays and Fridays.

If there is a late start to the day due to weather, CMT Tutorial will also begin late the same number of minutes school is delayed.  For example, if there is a 90 minute delay to the school day, there will be a 90 minute delay to the start of the Tutorial session.  If school is cancelled due to weather, that class will be made-up on a Monday determined by the Grade-Level teachers teaching that session.

WE HAD A GREAT DAY!

I'm sure that many of you were nervous about today and how your child would do.  I am happy to report that all did well and the day continued as normal.  Many walked in and were whispering to friends about what they had heard/seen over the weekend, however after a brief statement from me saying that we had to think positively - students continued with their work and put the events, that I'm sure repeat over and over in our minds, behind them.

The following was sent by Monroe's First Selectman, Stephen Vavrek:

The BoE of Newtown and their First Selectman is requesting that any and all volunteer efforts wait until they know what will or will not be brought from the Sandy Hook School....We need to respect their wishes.


If you have any ideas please feel free to send them to me at svavrek@monroect.org. Please do not organize any efforts as again we must abide by the needs and desires of the Residence of Newtown.

PLEASE DO NOT go to the school and ask to help as there is a very well orchestrated professional effort between federal, state and local custodians making true miracles happen..
