This week we held our kindergarten orientation for students entering kindergarten in the fall.  It is always exciting to meet the new group of parents who will join the ISD family.  Of course, it is also good to see current ISD parents, as well, who may be registering their youngest child.  If you know of anyone living in our attendance area whose child attends preschool outside of Greenwich, please ask them to contact our office.  Our rosters are generated by the preschools in town, so we want to be sure we capture everyone who lives in our attendance area.  Any spaces available are then dedicated to applicant students who are offered a spot through the lottery, which is tentatively scheduled to take place the first week of March.

On Tuesday, February 24th, a meeting will be held for parents at Old Greenwich School to update them on Phase 3 of the Digital Learning Environment Plan.  The meeting is scheduled for 9:30am.  If you cannot make that particular meeting, there are three other meetings scheduled with the same content but at different times and locations.  There is another meeting scheduled that very same evening at Cos Cob School at 7:00 pm.  On Wednesday, February 25, a meeting will be held at Parkway School at 9:30 am and the last meeting is scheduled for Thursday, February 26th at New Lebanon School at 7:00 pm. Parents of Grade 5 students can attend the Middle School presentation at Central Middle School at 7:00 pm. I hope you can attend one of these meetings.  All teachers will be receiving their device, which is the I Pad, and begin their training this spring.  In the fall, all students in grades K - 5, will receive an I Pad as well.  It is the beginning of an exciting venture into enhancing our instructional programs through the use of technology.  Keep well
