Welcome Letter and Important Information
August 19, 2026
Dear parents and guardians,
Welcome to the 2026-27 school year at South Bristol School! We hope that your summer was nice.
School begins for students on Monday, August 31. Ms. Wright and Mr. Bigonia look forward to working with you and your child(ren) this fall. Ms. Wright will be the 6/7 homeroom teacher and teach 6-8 English/language arts, social studies, and ELA MTSS. Mr. Bigonia will be the 8th grade homeroom teacher and class advisor. He will teach 6th-8th grade math, math MTSS, and science. Ms. Jordan will again be our PE and health teacher. Ms. Amy Noble is our new art teacher. Our middle school chorus and band teacher will be Mr. Phillips. He’s coming back! Mrs. Thibodeau will teach guidance classes and counsel students individually and in small groups.
Our first couple of days of school will be focused on building relationships and classroom routines in our homerooms. Academics will begin on September 2.
We don’t ask that students bring any school supplies but we know shopping for school is a fun thing for families, so do as you see fit. The only item that is challenging to keep up with is pencils. Sending your student with some pencils to begin the year can be very helpful. And restocking in February is a great way to get to the end of the year. We have bought pencils for the middle schoolers and they are available to anyone who asks.
School drop off starts at 7:45 AM and breakfast is available upon arrival. The Pledge of Allegiance will take place at 8:05 AM each day in the Center.
If students completed any reading over the summer, they should go ahead and track it on the attached reading log! Students can complete this digitally, print and fill it in, or create their own log by hand. These can be turned in during our first week back. We will have a reading celebration soon!
Enjoy the remainder of your summer!
Sincerely,
Mr. Bigonia and Ms. Wright
