Dear Anna Reynolds Families,

We have been named a School of Distinction for growth in at least one area every year since 2017-18.  However, this is the first year being named for growth in four out of four categories! And the first time in the area of ELA since 2018-19.

• Food and Snacks - We recognize that many of our students and families may need support with food and snacks beginning on November 1.  If you are without food or having challenges with snacks, please contact Mrs. Masulli, our Social Worker, or the main office and a staff member will follow up with you to support you with accessing local resources.  If families are interested in donating student snacks to school, please send in Pepperidge Farms Cheddar Goldfish boxes.   In addition, Connecticut Foodshare’s Mobile Pantry provides food at more than 100 locations in a no questions asked, outdoor “farmers market” setting. Items offered typically include fresh produce and other perishable foods. Review these frequently asked questions to learn more.
