PWS PrinciPal’s News

PWS Families,

Thank you to everyone that came out and made our annual Family Fun Night a huge success. It is a great event and so nice to see everyone enjoying a special night out. Congratulations to all of the winners of baskets and teacher prizes. I am sure the students are very much looking forward to experiencing the sliming and soaking of their principal and assistant principal! A special thank you to Mrs. Manning, the PWS Events Committee, our many parent volunteers, our high school volunteers and community sponsors for making this event possible. Together we were able to raise close to $7,000 to support and make PWS an even better school and community.

Your child may come home and talk about the bit of excitement we had today. We lost power to a small part of our building this morning. The SAU maintenance team and Eversource responded quickly and got us back to full power in no time. The kitchen wasn’t affected, so luckily it didn’t interrupt any lunches.

Have a great weekend,

Cheryl Daley (Principal)

Dan Mitchell (Assistant Principal)

A note about attendance

We have reached a place in the school year where absences are starting to mount.  A reminder that absences beyond 10 days require a note (i.e, medical, bereavement) in order for them to be considered excused.  District procedure is to send home a 10-day and 15-day absence letter to families.

Snow Day Lunch Info./Announcements

Some parents across the district have asked if there is a rule of thumb when determining the lunch menu on the day following a snow day.  There is no rule, as the menu for that day is dependent upon what was on the menu the day of the snow day, what prep the kitchen had to do, and what fresh produce the kitchen had ordered.  Therefore, our district’s Food Service Director (Emily Murphy) has decided to provide an announcement on the SAU’s website (www.sau25.net) in the District News box, which will detail, by school, what the hot lunch offering will be the day following the snow day.  This information will be available the day of the snow day.
