SCHOOL INFO

December 2, 2022


Dear L&G Families:


We have returned from Thanksgiving break to a Welcome Back assembly where the students heard about Winter Activities!


We are now midway into the holiday season, and these times are a celebration for most families, but we recognize that the winter season - with cold weather and family drama - can also be challenging.  If you or your family struggles with heat, food scarcity or other challenges, please be sure to reach out to our new Home-To-School Liaison, Ms. Alicia Carey at acarey@windhamcentral.org and she might be able to find some resources for your family.


My position of L&G Principal has just been posted to fill for next year.  If you know of anyone who might be interested in being our principal, please refer them to me or to Schoolspring.com where we post our job openings.

West River Valley Thrives:

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 

Earlier this month, we mailed out our 2022 Parent Survey. We want to thank those of you who have sent in your completed surveys so far. As we mentioned in the mailing,  our annual Parent Survey allows us to gather your valuable insights on, and perceptions of, substance use by students. This information helps inform and improve the work we do to reduce substance misuse by teens in the West River Valley.  We appreciate your time and thoughtfulness in completing this anonymous survey

and hope to receive your response soon.


Thank you for all you do,


Meg Gonzalez

West River Valley Thrives Director
