Hello Families,
Thank you to all of you who joined for our Scotch Parent/ Caregiver Night on Thursday. Connecting with the community continues to be a passion of mine and Scotch will always be a space where all are welcome! I am committed to ensuring the transition into the 2024-2025 school year is a successful one. If you were not able to attend, please find all four elementary slide presentations below. We look forward to getting to know all of our families in the months to come!
We also have an upcoming assembly sponsored by our PTO and we are thankful for their continued dedication to providing fun activities and exceptional experiences for our students!
As a reminder, WBSD now has a half day for students on April 26th, with dismissal at 12:12 p.m. This important half day will allow elementary teachers to meet with their new principals at their new building for transition activities and middle and high school teachers to receive important professional development including student wellness and safety training.
Kindly, James Scrivo |

Brown is Beautiful By: Supriya KelkarOn a hike with her grandparents, a young Indian-American girl makes note of all the things in nature that are brown, too. From a nurturing mother bear, to the steadiness of deep twisting roots, to the beauty of a wild mustang, brown is everywhere! On her way, the girl collects the beautiful brown things she encounters as mementos for a scrapbook to share with a very special new addition to her family--a baby brother!
