SCHOOL INFO

November 22, 2021

Dear L&G Families:

I hope that this letter finds everyone relaxing and enjoying some time with family and friends during this Thanksgiving break!  These last few months have been the longest stretch that schools see without a prolonged vacation opportunity.  We all need the rest and relaxation, and I am thankful for the progress we have made this fall as a school community, in returning to 5-day a week learning!  While it hasn’t been without challenges, the opportunity to see your children every day has surely helped all of us!

Upcoming events:

• Nov 22-26, 2021 - Thanksgiving Break - No School

• Nov 30, 2021 - Picture Makeup Day

• Dec 8, 2021 - Early Release Day (Teacher In-Service)

• Dec 23, 2021 - Early Release Day

• Dec 24, 2021 - Jan 2, 2022 - Winter Recess Break

Vaccination Clinics:

Please see the Vermont Department of Health website for opportunities for your 5-11 year old children to access a vaccination.  We strive to get to a place where once the state announces we can go mask-free (after achieving 80%) that we can celebrate that freedom knowing that our children are protected by several mitigation measures.  

Have a great vacation!

Refuse to Use:

**Refuse To Use Passes were distributed to students during school TODAY: FRIDAY, NOV 19th.**

All RTU students received an envelope either containing their 2021-2022 Stratton Season's Pass or a letter explaining why their pass is on-hold.  On-hold reasons include lack of current photo for the pass, missing an event, or missing a payment. As soon as the "hold" is lifted, the pass will be in the student's hands.

 ENJOY THE MOUNTAIN THIS WINTER!

Note: This same information is on the RTU page on the Leland and Gray website. Go to the Leland and Gray homepage and follow the Refuse to Use link.
