Final Weekly Blog for 2015-2016!

Dear Wines Families,

So here we are nearing the end of a wonderful year together. For many of you, this is the last message you’ll ever receive from me and for others this is the last one for a while (and I’m sure that regardless of which group you are in, you are ready to stop hearing from me!!).

This year marks a somewhat special year for me personally as the 5th graders who are leaving us on Friday were in Kindergarten when I arrived as principal six years ago. It is a source of great pride to know I’ve been with these kids for their entire elementary school career. I look forward to being with many more classes!

I want to thank our community for another fantastic year at Wines. This school is such a special place and I continue to be excited to come to school each day. The support we receive from our parent community is without comparison. We couldn’t do it without you! I want to give a special thank you to our fabulous PTO who works so tirelessly to support our school. They seem to never say no to anything we ask for and are always looking for more ways to help our school. Special thanks to our Executive Board including Nicole Brittis, Rhonda McCammon, Kelly Collins, Colleen Van Lent, Jen Haft, Kerianne Tupac, and Molly Bazzani. Even at a school with such tremendous parent support, it is our Executive Board the really does ALL the heavy lifting!

I want to extend my deep appreciation to Annemarie Dolan who is finishing her time as PTO president at the end of this year. Annemarie has worked side by side with me for the past six years starting out as an outstanding parent volunteer and ultimately taking on the role of PTO president for the past three years. She is a true partner to me and a true champion for our school! Thank you, Annemarie!

I wish you all a safe and relaxing summer. Below are a couple of important end of year reminders.  

Enrollment for 2016-2017: Important
Again this year, each family  needs to electronically register your child. The week of June 1st, the district sent an email communication from backtoschool@a2schools.org with instructions on how to access the system for your child. The email contained a link/instructions and a secure “snapcode” that links directly to your child’s information. Please check your inbox or SPAM folder for a message from backtoschool@a2schools.orgPlease click the link and complete the process asap! Thank You!

Medication Pick Up Reminder
Please make sure you pick up any medication we have at school for your child. After the office closes for the summer, we are required by law to dispose of medications.


Thanks for another wonderful year. Enjoy the next few weeks and we’ll be right back here before you know it! I’ll be available via email all summer if you need to reach me.

Best,

David
