Dear Alcott Families,

I hope this letter finds you doing well and enjoying the remaining days of summer!  I am incredibly excited to meet all of you next week! I just wanted to remind you of several important upcoming dates.  On Tuesday, August 27th, you and your child are invited to attend an Open House from 8:30am to 9:30am. This is a great opportunity to visit the classroom and meet your child’s new teacher!  The first day of school is Wednesday, August 28th. School begins at 9:00am and ends at 3:30pm. There is no school on either Friday, August 30th or Monday, September 2nd. Our annual Back to School Night will occur on Tuesday, September 10th.  To accommodate families with children in multiple grade levels (and to minimize congestion in the parking lot!), the evening’s schedule will be as follows: Grades 4 and 5 from 6:30-7:00pm; Grades 2 and 3 from 7:00-7:30pm; Grades K and 1 from 7:30-8:00pm.

I would also like to take a minute to encourage you to consider volunteering to help the Parent Teacher Group (PTG) this year.  There are several events still in need of coordinators as well as leadership positions that need to be filled. If you are able to support in any way, please reach out to PTG co-presidents Jane Baldini and Elena Sukharsky.  We both look forward to working with families, new and returning, to bring incredible enrichment opportunities to our students here at Alcott.

Again, enjoy these last days of summer!  The staff and I are all looking forward to a wonderful opening day next week!

Warmly,

Naomi Krakow
Principal
