We would like to thank The International School at Dundee PTA Events Committee for sponsoring this event at no charge to ISD Families.

Dear ISD Parents, 

Please save the date of Tuesday, February 26th, when Dr. William McKersie, Superintendent of Schools, will be our guest speaker per an invitation from the ISD PTA.  The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 pm in the media center.  Dr. McKersie will address questions he receives ahead of time, regarding issues or topics you would like to have more information on, or would like more detail on.  Please submit questions to the ISD PTA at isdpta.ct@gmail.com .  This is a great opportunity to hear his thoughts and vision of our schools so please make every effort to attend if you can.  

Several parents have asked about outdoor recess on cold, winter days.  As you know, this week, outdoor recess was canceled for two days given the extreme temperatures.  On the other two days, outdoor recess was abbreviated.  As an advocate of giving the students any opportunity to go outside and run around and play, canceling recess is a difficult decision. However, when we are dealing with single digit temperatures plus wind chill factors, it becomes a safety issue.  Please be sure students have the proper articles of clothing, ideally, with their names on them.  

Last fall after Hurricane Sandy, the third graders led the school in a campaign to raise funds that were donated to the American Red Cross.  I received a lovely letter from the organization this week thanking us for our gift of $2,332 which our students raised by doing chores at home.  It was a great example of our students "taking action" to help others.  As always, thank you for your role in this project and your ongoing support.  Stay warm.  

Sincerely,

Terry Ricci
