2027 SCIP & AO Haunted Trail 

Mt. Ascutney School District 6th Grade Volunteer Opportunity: SCIP & AO's Haunted Trail

We are looking for 6th-grade student volunteers from Albert Bridge School and Windsor Middle School to help run the Chairlift Haunted Trail at Ascutney Outdoors!

The trail features a spooky walk to give local kids a fun scare, along with trick-or-treat stops where volunteers hand out candy. Jenifer & Annalise's location is a prime spot for photo opts or other fun Halloween activities. If a 6th grade student has a suggestion, or an idea for what would be a good addition to this location should get in touch with Ms. Aldrich or Ms. Annalise prior to October 30th to ensure materials, items, etc are there.

Student Volunteers

Ms. Aldrich and Ms. Annalise just ask that parents let either one of them know if their child is allowed to wander while the event is taking place, or if they are planning on departing before the event is over.

Welcome 6th Grade Parents/Families

Congratulations on being a 6th grade parent/guardians. Having once been in your position I know that this transition can be exciting and challenging all at the same time. 

This site is set up to help give you information about the transition and opportunities your child might have within our district/supervisory union that is not open to younger students. 

Things that are important things for you to know your child can look forward too are; 

Shadow days at Windsor Middle School students will have opportunities to go to the Windsor Middle School to meet their future teachers, reconnect & learn from ABS students who are in 7th & 8th grade. It is also an opportunity for them to learn the lay out of the school, how to go through the bigger lunch line, etc. These days generally begin to happen after February vacation. 

Fall Connection Day there is general a day in the fall where the 6th grade from Windsor meets up with ABS 6th grade students to start establishing forms of connection with their future classmates. This day is currently TBD. 

6th Grade Class trip- nearing 6th grade graduation, students in the 6th grade class will go on a trip that is educational based, but by their choice. Trips from the past have been trampoline parks, muesums, trips to Boston, and sea ports. 

Graduation - 6th grade graduation is the time for ABS 6th graders to say good bye to their school communitty and be recorganized for the achievements they've accomplished while at ABS. While also being able  reflect on their own personal experiences throughout the years at ABS. 

Now if you have any questions/concerns about your child's 6th grade year at ABS the key contacts are: 

Cindy Parent- 6th grade classroom teacher cparent@wsesu.net

Andrew McPhillips- school counselor & head of the ABS/Windsor transition (on the ABS side) andrew.mcphillips@wsesu.net

ATTENTION 6th Grade Parents/Guardians: 

Students in grade 6th will be going over to Windsor Middle School this coming Wednesday starting from 12pm and will remain in the Windsor Middle School until dismissal time on that day. Students will be transported to the middle school via the school van and a staff members personal vehicle. Students will be expected to find transportation from Windsor either via the Windsor/ABS bus or being picked up at the dismissal time of 2:40pm. 

Students who require the bus can grab the Windsor/ABS bus at the end of the day by walking down to the bottom entrance (gym area/lower parking lot). That bus will transport ABS students back into Brownsville where they will be able to board the ABS bus for their transporation home. 

Students needing to be picked up can either be picked up in the lower parking lot area off of State Street, or they can be picked up "up top" off of Ascutney Street location at 2:40pm. 

Then the following day at 12:30pm we will be transporting 6th grade over to Windsor again to see a play being performed by their middle school peers. The play will be 1pm to 2pm at the latest. Students will be transported to Windsor and back to ABS via the school van and a staff member vehicle. 

If you have any question/concerns feel free to contact either myself (Annalise), Mr. Andrew (andrew.mcphillips@wsesu.net) or Cindy Parent (cparent@wsesu.net).
