Winter has arrived. Please keep that in mind when sending your child to school each day. If the temperature is one degree or above, studentsetter DO go outside for recess. Also, there are times when students are outside – waiting for the bus, going to and from the car before and after school to name a few. Boots, hats, gloves, snow pants and a winter coat are all priorities this time of year! We have recently passed the mid-point of the school year and I hope that to this point it has been a successful one for you and your child(ren). Students and staff have been working hard. Our assessments are complete and you should have received your child’s report card. If you have any questions – please feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher. Technology has changed the way that we all live our lives. Social networking (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), cell phones, instant messaging, and texting have allowed each of us to conveniently and instantaneously communicate. Cyber bullying has seen a rapid rise in school-aged children throughout the country, and unfortunately, seldom does a day go by without hearing these stories in the media. Although we do not allow this sort of communication here at school with students, we have seen students come to school upset about something that was posted from home.

    New York State Office of the State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli Division of State Government Accountability Universal Pre-Kindergarten Program: Monitoring of Health and Safety Requirements State Education Department Report 2016-S-10 December 2016 2016-S-10 Executive Summary Purpose To determine whether the State Education Department’s (Department) monitoring of the Universal Pre-Kindergarten providers’ compliance with applicable health and safety regulations is sufficient. Our audit scope included the period January 1, 2013 through August 4, 2016. Background The Universal Pre-Kindergarten (UPK) program was established through Chapter 436 of the Laws of 1997 to provide all four-year-olds in the State with the opportunity for an early childhood education. UPK provides four-year-old children access, at no charge, to comprehensive early childhood education experiences that promote their social-emotional, creative expressive/ aesthetic, physical, cognitive, linguistic, and cultural development. The early childhood agencies (eligible agencies) collaborating with school districts comprise a wide range of early child care and education providers, including: day care centers, nursery schools, Head Start programs, group family or family day care providers, preschool special education providers, Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES), and private schools. Department regulations require buildings and classrooms used for UPK to be safe and to comply with applicable fire safety, health, and building codes, and for equipment and furnishings to be safe and suitable for children and maintained in a state of good repair and sanitation. For the 2014-15 school year, there were 1,338 UPK providers operating outside of New York City that reported serving 43,623 children.

  • (July-November 1863) Lincoln's Popularit
    Chapter Thirty-one “The Signs Look Better”: Victory at the Polls and in the Field (July-November 1863) Lincoln’s popularity soared after the victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Port Hudson. His old friend from Illinois, Jesse W. Fell, reflected the changed public mood. In August, Fell told Lyman Trumbull that during the early stages of the war, “I did not like some things that were done, and many things that were not done, by the present Administration.” Along with most “earnest, loyal men, I too was a grumbler, because, as we thought, the Gov't. moved too slow.” But looking back, Fell acknowledged that “we are not now disposed to be sensorious [sic] to the ‘powers that be,’ even among ourselves.” To the contrary, “it is now pretty generally conceded, that, all things considered, Mr. Lincoln's Administration has done well.” Such “is the general sentiment out of Copperhead Circles.” Lincoln had been tried, and it was clear “that he is both honest and patriotic; that if he don't go forward as fast as some of us like, he never goes backwards.”1 To a friend in Europe, George D. Morgan explained that the president “is very popular and good men of all sides seem to regard him as the man for the place, for they see what one cannot see abroad, how difficult the position he has to fill, to keep 1 Fell to Lyman Trumbull, Cincinnati, 11 August 1863, Trumbull Papers, Library of Congress. 3378 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 31 the border States quiet, to keep peace with the different generals, and give any satisfaction to the radicals.”2 One of those Radicals, Franklin B.
