Coffee wtih Crespo will be facilitated by Waters parent Katherine Buoscio; please feel free to contact her with any questions at kbuoscio@gmail.com 
INCLEMENT WEATHER
Coldness greets us. Stay warm. All students are welcome in the Annex until bell rings at 8:15. Parents can join their kids if they want to in the annex. It may be crowded so Mrs. Crespo asks that if you can get there as close to 8:15 as possible (instead of too early) that will alleviate some crowding. Extra staff will be available to help kids, if needed, to their classrooms from the Annex. (Note that parents need to stop at the annex doors and let their kids continue to their classrooms) Homeroom teachers will continue to greet their students at their entrance doors at 8:15. |
