Dear Parents,

You and your child are invited to visit the classroom prior to the opening of school and to bring the required supplies. At this time, Mrs. Calamita will discuss her objectives for the coming year and answer any questions that you might have. Mrs. Feldman, her aide, will also be present.

The orientation will begin promptly at 10:00AM on the date designated by your last name:

Last Names A – L : Wednesday, September 1st

Note that all necessary medical forms are due before your child can start school. Please call the school at 203-288-6792 if you are unable to attend.

Thank You
Mrs. Calamita
