Budget referendum – June 8 from 6 – 8 p.m.
Last day of school will be the only ½ day; an all school assembly will begin at 10:00 AM. Please come join us if you can.
June 15 will be a full day of school; Move up day for the fourth grade students will be in the afternoon.
Field day is June 11th.
Finished with the testing and are reviewing the data which looks good. Last year it was 90 students and this year it is 60 students.
Summer school for North Windham and Sweeney will be at our school.
All Kindergarten classes will be located in the same hallway next year. We didn’t receive any volunteers to relocate their child, we may need to look into non-voluntarily moves (will have to review the criteria). The alternate school will be Nautchaug School.
Uniforms – will not be voted on for this September, there is not enough time. 85% voted yes.

We will look into using Coach buses for field trips, would it be cheaper than using a school bus?
The Treasurer will have a box in the main office, and a request slip will be created.
6. District Wide PTO:
Nothing new, still discussing the insurance and the tax exempt issues. All schools need to have the insurance before September.
7. Yearbook:
Done and it is at the printers; we should have the books by the end of next week.
We will need to have somebody trained next year as Jodi will no longer be doing it.
They wil be given to the 4th grade students and teachers could buy one if there are extra’s.
