Dear Families of Elementary Students,
The Board of Education on March 9, 2010, for the purpose of a Budget
Workshop. During this meeting a resolution was made and passed in a 4-3 vote
to close
All elementary students in the
A transition plan for students and families is currently being developed to
help ensure a smooth transition from GES to BES. This plan will include all
of the following: *
A survey for families to gain input on what should be included as part of the
transition plan *
An opportunity for each grade level to have their own “visiting day” at *
A collaborative PTO meeting where GES and BES PTO members meet to discuss
which pieces from the history of GES are important to bring to BES for
continued implementation *
A Parent Night where families from GES come to BES to meet their child’s teacher
for the upcoming school year
Frequent communication regarding the transition plan will be sent from school
to home via the BES and GES WebPages, as well as newsletters. From now until the end of this school year, thoughtful
planning about events and activities that will assist with a positive
transition that will honor and celebrate Grafton's history, as well as
provide a seamless move to Berlin Elementary for students and families in the
fall of 2010 will be a priority.
If you have any specific questions or concerns related to the information in
this newsletter, please feel free to contact my office at 658-2690. Thank you
in advance for your thoughtful consideration in helping us to plan this
transition process. Sincerely, Ms. Charlotte A. Gregory, Interim Superintendent of Schools |
