6th Grade Holiday Cheer Event:
The 6th grade class from Farmington River Regional Elementary School visited Berkshire Rehabilitation and Care Center in Sandisfield, MA on December 20th. They delivered homemade cookies and cards that they decorated with Ms. DiGrigoli, Ms. Flower, and Ms. Catullo,
as well as read poetry that the students had written in class with Ms. McArthur, Ms. Fleming, and Ms. Bush to the residents. It was a nice opportunity for the students to learn the importance of giving during the holiday.
A few reminders:
- Keep us updated to any changes to your contact info, such as: Address, telephone number, email address
- Call by 9:00am if your child is absent or will be late
- A note from parent/guardian must be sent into school for any change to the usual after-school dismissal routine
- NO CARS are allowed in the driveway during arrival / dismissal. It is best to park in the Visitor’s Lot or the side lot and have your child walk on the sidewalk.
- Consider paying for your child’s meals monthly—either online or with cash or a check—for your convenience.
Thanks for your cooperation!
