Hello Bulldog Families!

Our building is ready to go and teachers are so excited to meet their new learners this year. A special thank you to Mr. Bill, Mr. Dave and Mr. Eddie our custodial team for helping to complete some major work this summer. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back next Wednesday! **Remember to bring in your completed Dismissal Forms that came home in your mailing this summer!**

Chromebook Insurance: You Can Renew When You Enter the Parent Portal - Many parents have reached out to us to ask about Chromebook Insurance. We are happy to report that our low-cost Chromebook Insurance program is WELL worth the annual renewal fee ($25 per year). If you’ve got kids, then you already know there’s always the potential for something to happen to the Chromebook during the year: cracked screen, broken hinges, water damage, just to name a few. Do yourself a favor. Purchase the insurance – it will give you peace of mind and save you a lot of aggravation when something goes wrong. You can renew your insurance right on your Parent Portal account when you first sign in next Thursday. If you have any questions, please contact our BIDS dept. at (203) 783-3446.

When is Kindergarten ‘Meet and Greet’? Tuesday, August 30, 2022; 2:00 – 3:00 p.m. - ‘Save the Date’ cards went out a few weeks ago – and all of the details were on the card relating to what you can expect. We can’t wait to meet all of you!
