Dear PWS Families,
Week One of remote learning is now in the books. We thank everyone for their patience, understanding, and cooperation as we figure this out together. We can not tell you how warm it made our hearts to see the many pictures posted yesterday of all your pets. Mrs. Cassamassino will be sending out these different "Spirit" Days as we continue, so please pay attention to our Facebook page. If you haven't heard yet, the Governor announced yesterday that remote learning will take place until at least May 4th. We will however still be having April Vacation! We are committed to doing whatever we can to make this process as easy and stressless as possible so please reach out and communicate your needs to us.
We miss you and can't wait to be with you all again,
Cheryl Daley, Principal
Dan Mitchell, Assistant Principal

Google Hangout/Meet
As you know, permission was requested this week for students to be able to participate in Google Hangouts/Meet with their teachers starting on Monday. If you have not filled out the form yet, please do so. This is an optional tool for teachers to use if/when they feel it would be beneficial to students’ instruction. If a teacher chooses to use this tool with their class or a group of students, he/she will only be using it with students for whom parent/guardian permission was granted. If you have any questions about it, please contact your child’s teacher.
Playgrounds Closed
In an attempt to prevent the spread of COVID-19, all district playgrounds and school yards are closed at this time. While this decision pains us greatly, we hope that with everyone's cooperation we can all be back to playing and enjoying our magnificent school yard as soon as possible.
Library News
I have been collecting links to resources for free ebooks and audiobooks so that students can continue to read for pleasure. I have also collected links to online storytimes and author read alouds so that students can have access to engaging stories. To learn all about these, please visit my blog at https://sau25baldia.blogspot.com/. I know this is a stressful time for many families. Reading for pleasure can be a calming and relaxing experience, and we can all use more of that. Stay well, Mrs. Baldi
