Welcome Back to School, Haggerty Families!
Posted on 09/10/2014
Despite how hard it is to say good-bye to the summer, it’s been a terrific start to the
school year for the staff and me. The smiles and excitement in the children bring
joy to our work each day. In a few short days I have witnessed veteran Haggerty
students welcome new students by reaching out and offering help and friendship. I
have witnessed new families reach out to other Haggerty families and new staff
effortlessly form relationships with one another and their students. I am sure you
feel the same energy in the building that I do.
Getting the building ready is no small task and I know you’ll join me in a public
“THANK YOU” to the custodial crew for their tireless work in getting the building
ready and looking so beautiful! Having a clean, safe and orderly school
environment is critical for teachers to ensure that students learn. Thanks to Joe and
James for their ongoing efforts to keep our building safe and clean!
Thank you for sharing your children with us and celebrating this new beginning.
The trust you place in us in the care of your children is a tremendous honor and we
will work hard with you to make sure your children get what they need to be the
best they can be! We will also do our best to communicate with you about school
news, events and procedures.
Communication With Your Child’s Teachers
In the coming days and weeks you will create the best form of communication with
your child’s classroom teacher. We view our work with parents and families as a
partnership and we see you as our child’s first teacher. I encourage all of you to
determine the best form of communication with your child’s teacher so that we
maintain open communication throughout the school year. You will also find a list
of contact information on the Haggerty website.
Please don’t hesitate to call the
office with any questions or concerns. We all have the same email format: first
initial last name @cpsd.us. We will make sure that you are pointed in the right
direction! As I am sure you have come to learn, Lissa Galluccio, our family liaison,
is another tremendous resource! Thank you for joining us in this partnership, we
couldn’t do it without you!
Here’s to a great year!
Warm regards,
Nancy
