Dear West Shore Families-
¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo! It looks like the weather is making a change in the right direction and it will soon feel like May!
On Friday last week, I had the pleasure of attending the Southern CT Association of School Superintendents’ award luncheon where our very own 8th grader Akshitha was given an award for her academic achievement and outstanding citizenship. I love the opportunity to show off one of our many amazing Wildcats!
Speaking of amazing Wildcats, 7th grader Bhavana won the Milford Prevention Council’s billboard contest! You can see it by the train station. We are so proud of her!
The administration of the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA) continues next week with our ELA assessments. Please make sure all students come to school with their Chromebooks charged so they will be able to access the testing platform.
Tickets for our bike raffle go on sale next week during the lunch waves. The tickets will cost $5.00 and there is no limit but you must be present at the BMX bike show to win. We will raffle the bike at the end of the performance. The flier is in the information section.
Next week is Teacher Appreciation and our PTA has been busy planning treats for the staff. Thank you to all of the parents who donated and helped make this happen.
