Scotland Elementary News
There’s nothing we enjoy more than sharing all the great news about our students and staff members. We love featuring their accomplishments and celebrating with them. And we have a lot to share! Stop by here regularly to read about student and staff awards, past happenings, upcoming events, and so much more!
In an effort to ensure that all students are safe and know how they are getting home, you must put all dismissal changes into School Dismissal Manager no later than noon daily. Our office is experiencing a great deal of calls changing the dismissal plans for students at the end of the day. It is challenging to navigate these changes, ensuring that staff are aware and students know how they are getting home so close to dismissal. If you need to make a change to your child's dismissal after the daily cutoff time of noon, you will need to send an email to canderson@ridgefieldps.net and llupinacci@ridgefieldps.net in order for us to make that change. We really appreciate your help with this!
We will continue to use School Dismissal Manager this year at Scotland. Please click below for information regarding this system. This system will be available to families in late August. We will email a welcome letter to families when the system is available. If you have any additional questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to us!
We had a wonderful spring concert on May 25, led by the talented musicians Mr. Tornatore and Mr. Sette! Our students wowed us with their singing and the musical performances of orchestra and band. The concert was filled with such energy and excitement—it was just a phenomenal experience!! The students presented a beautiful concert, so congratulations to all! A special thank you to Mr. Dave Pepin and Mr. Paul Hickey for being accompanists during this performance!
