summer is....enjoying sunrises 

Honestly, I never know when to send out a summer communication.  I overthink it every summer.  Do I reach out in July, at the height of summer activities and fun?  Do I wait until August when all of our minds start to switch to school?  But is August too late?  

And, here I am.  It's August 8, and I can't help but think about all of your children as I look at our new gym floor and think about how much fun they are going to have on it.  I look at the new carpet and think about how awesome that will be when winter sports is underway.  And I peek in the classrooms as they are being shifted back into wonderful learning spaces, and I think  "The magic is starting..."  

...and so I decided today was the day.  

Things to know:

Here is this year's school calendar .  It can be found on our website moretownschool.org and the district's website huusd.org.  We will also send home a paper copy in the first day packet.

Our first student day is August 29.  Note: there is no school on that Friday September 2, or the following Monday September 5.

We will once again have before-school conferences.  These will be offered to all students/families on 8/25/22 (note change).  They are 15 minute conferences with the hope to connect and start the seed of relationship building (for returning students with the same teacher, a little bit of time to reconnect).  Please follow the link and here are the directions for signing up for a conference.  

• Follow this link to go directly to the scheduler. https://www.canyoncreeksoftware.com/scheduler/vt/wwsu/index.cfm
• From the Online Scheduler Home Page
• Choose your student’s school from the drop down list and click “GO”
• Enter the school password: 3742
• Enter your student’s “Student ID”. If you do not know their Student ID, use the LOOKUP STUDENT ID button to access the system.
• Verify the student’s birth date
• A list of your student’s teachers will be displayed. Check the box next to the name of your child's classroom teacher.
• If you have more than one student in the school you can see all of your students’ teachers’ schedules at one time by answering YES to this question “Do you want to schedule conferences for another student?” then repeat the steps above for your other students. If you only have one student, answer NO to that question.
• You will then see the available time slots for each teacher you selected.
• Select the times that work best for your schedule.
• Enter your email address (recommended) if you would like an email reminder sent to you. (Your email address is kept private.)
• Once you have finished you can confirm your appointment details and print your conference schedule.
• Write down the Confirmation Number (you will need this number to cancel your appointment).

PTO Updates

The PTO is helping to sponsor an ice cream social for back to school.  It will be held on the Rec Field Wednesday August 24 from 5:00-6:00.  We hope you will come on down, enjoy some ice cream and have a chance to connect.

Enjoying some sunsets as well...
