Change in Dental Program:
Greetings Leland & Gray Families,
As many of you may have heard, Dr. Rediske's dental office has closed their Townshend location, creating issues for our current dental program. Our administration has partnered again with the Stratton Foundation to provide students with dental care regardless of insurance or ability to pay. We will be bringing in Barbara Hodgkins, a dental hygienist, to perform cleanings and preventative maintenance procedures. Please keep your eye out for more information and the new paperwork necessary to participate. We apologize for the inconvenience, but look forward to ensuring our students get the care they deserve.
Lauren Shockley, RN BSN
School Nurse

Snow Day Routine Change:
This year we have changed our routine with regards to snow days and our day rotations (green/white and A/B/C). The change - reflected in the attached calendars (click here) is that when we have a snow day, we will SKIP the intended day and NOT PUSH it. In other words, the days are hard-scheduled for the year in advance.Late Bus Calendar:
The late bus schedule can be found here. Please note the bus will only run south this year.ATHLETICS:

Food Resources:
Dear Parent or Guardian,
We are committed to making sure that all students have the tools they need to succeed, including good
nutrition to fuel their bodies and minds. That is why we are writing to you, to let you know of food resources in
your area that, if needed, you and your family can access throughout the year, including during school breaks.
Many of these resources are working to offer healthy and local food. Most of these are free, though some may
have specific criteria to be eligible. We encourage you to access these resources should you need them. To
obtain additional information, please see attached resource list and contact the organizations directly if
needed. Thank you.
Hoops For Hope:
Newfane Town Meeting:
- Newfane Town Meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 5, starting at 9 am at Williamsville Hall, which has a new boiler and will be adequately heated!
- All registered voters in the Town of Newfane can speak and vote at the meeting.
- There’s still time for residents who are not on the voter checklist to register to vote at the Town Clerk’s Office, M-Th 8-6.
- All Vermont voters have a right to take unpaid leave in order to attend Town Meeting, provided their employer can operate without them and the employee notifies the employer in writing seven days prior (Vermont Statute 21 Section 472B). February 26 is this year’s deadline. The law isn’t perfect, but it’s a start.
- The NewBrook Sixth grade will be selling coffee and baked goods to fuel voters and fundraise for their trip to Montreal.
- The Williamsville Hall Committee will provide a soup and salad lunch at noon for a modest fee.
- Children are welcome to attend the meeting with a parent. Anyone willing to provide supervised play should contact Deborah Luskin, Town Moderator. This would be a huge civic service!
- Why should you attend Town Meeting? Here’s one answer: Ordinary Citizens Can Participate in Local Governance.
- Check the Front Porch Forum for when and where there will be a Roberts Rules of Order Refresher for voters who want to relearn the rules that govern the meeting.
