Greetings to all Taylor families! I hope that you were all able to stay warm as we battled harsh temperatures this week.
Our first half-day of the school year is tomorrow, Friday, January 14. While breakfast will remain available as normal, students will not be served lunch and they will not have specials on this day. With respect to dismissal for our students in grades K-5, those who are being picked up will be called down to the cafeteria beginning at 11:25 am, and those taking the bus will be dismissed shortly after with buses rolling away from the building and on their way home at 11:50 am. If you are planning on picking up your child on this half-day, please send in a note ahead of time so that we can prepare for the busiest dismissal of the year, and we will open our cafeteria door to have you sign your child out at 11:20 am. As is our normal daily practice, no bus passes will be issued, so unless we have a pick up note, your child will take his/her normal bus home. With respect to our pre-k dismissal, we will alter our regular routine with dismissal beginning at 11:15. Designated pick-up persons can arrive at our main entrance around 11:10! Thanks in advance for your support with this half-day schedule!
Virtual Parent Forum: Mark your calendars for Wednesday, February 9, 2022, as Spencerport will be hosting a parent forum to discuss the district's approach with student assessment. This virtual event will begin at 6:00 p.m. and a Zoom link will be posted in the coming weeks. Topics will include the different types of assessment; how assessment supports teaching and learning; impact on grading; NYS 3-8 assessments; and Regents examinations. The presentation will be facilitated by our Director of Curriculum, Kristen Paolini, and Assistant Superintendent for Instruction, Ty Zinkiewich, and will be about 30 minutes in length.
Take care and remember that school is closed UPK – 12 on Monday, January 17 in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr!
Sincerely,
Telcie Pincelli
Principal
