Hello Bobcats,

Good afternoon!

Report Cards will be released in the Aspen Portal today - the report card goes to your student’s email account. Please take the time to open the email and discuss it with your child. If you have any questions, please reach out to your teacher so they can discuss it with you. We created a video for parents so you will be able to understand the report card, attendance, and how to continue supporting your child’s learning.

I hope that you have a restful break. Since September, you, your child, your family members, your friends, our faculty, our support staff, our community workers - you have been so helpful, supportive, creative, and resilient in supporting our children. Thank you for being amazing bobcats.

Wednesday is a learning day for all students (remote). Please have your students log in. It is an early release (which means staff will sign off at 11:15am). Please assume our staff is not available during the break - they are in need of some rest and relaxation just like you are!

See you in the new year!

Dr. E

Fun Winter Contest via Elliot Hospital

The Elliot Hospital’s Trauma Team is holding a “Winter Safety Drawing Contest”. Have your child draw and color a winter scene promoting outdoor winter activity safety, and send it to Elliot Hospital’s Trauma department (JPhelan@Elliot-HS.org). Every child that submits a drawing will be entered into the contest for a chance to win a winter helmet from Ken Jones Ski Mart!

Remote Winter Series

Friends of Aine continues to offer peer-to-peer support groups during COVID. If you know of a grieving child between the ages of 4 and 18, please invite them to join us for our Remote Winter Series beginning January 3rd through March 28th. This series will focus on building a "coping bag" for grief.

Our groups are organized by age and facilitated by trained volunteers. All Services and materials are free.

• Provide them with our family registration and waiver form

• Forms can be emailed to mandi@friendsofaine.com or mailed to 146 Lowell St.

• Once we receive their forms, we will send them a link to SignUp Genius

• Call us with any questions

The Girl Scouts of America have included three fun flyers for January! Be sure to check them out for some fun virtual activities that will support your student’s social and literacy needs.
