Attn. Grade 5 Families:

From: Vincent Cassotta, Instrumental Music Teacher, Eli Whitney School

Dear Parents,

I will be speaking with 5th grade students about the opportunity to learn to play a musical instrument this year. I am excited to be able to once again teach your children in person during the school day. In person lessons will give your child a greater chance to succeed and have a satisfying instrumental music experience this year.

I am enclosing a link with information about the instrumental music program. This will include scheduling information, a description and demonstration of the instruments we offer, an interest form and instructions for obtaining an instrument for your child.  I will also post a link for this form on the Eli Whitney Families Facebook page.

Sign ups will be due by September 24th and lessons will begin the week after Columbus Day Weekend on October 13th.

I look forward to working with your students this year.

Eli Whitney parents.

We had a great first day of school! In order to expedite the drop-off and pick-up process and maintain safety please adhere to the following:

Please enter the parking lot on Olmstead Rd. Do not use the entrance on Middle Road.

Please pull up to the farthest cone.

Please wait for staff to have your child exit. Please have your child ready to exit the driver’s side of the vehicle with backpack in hand.

If students are to be picked up early, please send in a note or an email. Students being picked up without a note may have to wait until after buses have left and traffic has dispersed.

Thank you for your support. Have a good evening.

Good evening, Eli Whitney families, 

I hope you are enjoying summer break and taking the time to relax and/or do the things you love! We are having an in-person orientation for third graders on September 1st from 6:00-8:00pm. For safety, we invite families to attend on a staggered schedule as shown below. One adult will be permitted to accompany each student. Children who are not Eli Whitney 3rd graders should not attend. 

6:00- 6:30 Rooms 10 and 12 

6:40- 7:10 Rooms 11 and 14 

7:20- 7:50 Rooms 13 and 15 

This will be a casual event with no formal classroom presentations … Think of it more as a meet and greet. Students and families will hear the expectations and safety guidelines to follow during orientation. You and your child will get to see the classroom and meet their teacher. Families will get additional information about classroom procedures and grade level curriculum during Open House (details TBD). We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Mrs. Flanaghan, Principal
