Camelot's Weekly Events 4-30-20


Hello Families,

In addition to the PTA meeting tonight (see below), we have another save-the-date for you.  On Thursday, May 7, at 7:15pm, we are hosting a meeting for parents and guardians on the topic of The Zones of Regulation.  This school year, we introduced The Zones to students in order to help them learn to classify emotional responses and regulate behavior for a given situation.  On Tuesday of next week, teachers will share a letter with more details about our work with The Zones.  We will also send out a link to the meeting in next week's messaging.

Happy Poem in My Pocket Day!  

Aileen Flaherty, Principal

Matt Salerno, Assistant Principal

PTA MEETING TONIGHT- 7:15 pm

Please join us for our PTA meeting this evening. You don't need to be a member to join the meeting; everyone is welcome! We will once again hear updates from Ms. Flaherty and have a chance to ask her questions. Given our difficult situation and the many changes in our kid's education, this forum provides a great opportunity to share your thoughts and connect to our community.

We will also review our PTA executive board slate.  We are pleased to announce we have nominees who are willing to serve the community for 4 of 5 of our board roles. Nominees include: President: Andrea Themely; VP Ways & Means: Terri Pendleton; VP Social: Kelly Pike; Treasurer: Jenn Curry Briggs and Secretary: Ally Paddock. We still need someone to serve as VP of Membership, Education and Outreach.
