Happy Spring!
The sun is finally out, the breeze is warm, and the playground is buzzing! After a few months of bracing against the cold, it's a joy to see our students enjoying the fresh air and sunshine during recess every single day.
Rehearsals are underway for the Kindergarten Festival. The students have been busy learning their songs with Mr. Fisher and practicing their impressive maneuvers in PE with Mr. Stevens. Just wait until you see them! It truly is everyone's favorite day of the year.
We also have some very exciting news... the chicks have just started hatching! The children are thrilled to see them emerging and to hear their sweet little chirps. It is such a special experience for the students to witness this new life firsthand and watch them settle into their new environment.
We recently had a wonderful visit from the K-9 unit. The students were fascinated to see the amazing ability of a police dog as it demonstrated how to find a lost article. Later this month, the Ambulance Corps will also come to visit us. This experience is very similar to when the firefighters visit Sapphire; the children will have a chance to go inside the ambulance and see what it looks like.
I hope you are all able to get out and enjoy this beautiful weather.
Warmly,
Allison Borriello

Link: When to keep your child home
If your child has any medications that they need to take while in school, a doctor's order is required for every school year. Please get updated orders over the summer for the 2026/ 2027 school year.
While we don't want to alarm parents, it is important to be aware of head lice and to be proactive in checking your child's hair on occasion.
The New York State Department of Education requires that all Kindergarten & 1st grade students have a physical exam. A valid physical for this school year is one performed on or after September 1st, 2024 or new entrants within 1 year prior to start date.
Additionally, per NYS law, we will be screening all Kindergarten & 1st grade students' vision and hearing if not done and documented on their current physical exam.
