Each month, teachers nominate a student of the month. This student displays attributes of being kind, setting a good example for others, and is an active participant in their learning. We compile all the nominees and the staff vote on our Outstanding Student of the Month who is honored at an awards' presentation at Town Hall with Dr. Brummett.

We also recognize students in our Kindergarten and Pre K. They are our Shining Stars. These are our youngest students who are learning all about the expectations of Elizabeth Green Elementary School. In their short time with us, they have done a fabulous job completing their work, being classroom leaders, and having an overall outstanding attitude.

Here are our Shining Stars:

Pre K - Luca Torone, Brooklyn Brown, and Anastasia Johnson

Kindergarten - Charlie Doherty, Maddie Goldberg, and Selina Hebreo

Here are our nominees and our Outstanding Student of the Month:

First Grade - Amelia Romano, Grace LeBrun, Julian Kessinger,  and Isabella Costa

Second Grade - Daniel Abraham, Alanah Henry Golding, and Sasha Amirov

Third Grade - Rosalie Kallen, Maxwell Greenwood, and Oleksandr Melnyk

Fourth Grade - Juliet Poglitsch, Adeline DeRubbo, and Manny Vazquez Stella

Our Outstanding Student of the Month is Manny Vazquez Stella. Congratulations to everyone!

Each month, we will spotlight a few students for their artistic ability.  Mrs. Gajda has set up a couple displays as you enter our building.  Here are our artists.

This coming week is National Tutoring Week!  In honor of Mrs. Calendriello and Mrs. Adinolfi (our outstanding tutors), we will participate in a Twin Day on Wednesday, October 7th.  Find one, two, or more friends to dress alike with.  During the day, visit with our fabulous tutors to thank them for all they do at E. Green. 

1.  Please remind your children to stop at the crosswalks and look both directions before crossing.  They should look to the adult to tell them that it is clear to cross.  We had a few students run right through the crosswalk without looking.  

2.  Please have your child exit the car on the passenger side so they can hop right onto the sidewalk.  Students should not exit the vechicles until they are near the sidewalk in front of the school.  We had a few students get out on the driver's side and this puts them in the way of cars that are passing by.

Reminder: Depending on the grade level, your child will have either a long morning session or a long afternoon session due to their lunchtime.  Please send in a snack for them to eat during this time as they usually are hungry during these long periods of time.  Thank you.

In addition, a child’s first 9 absences may be excused via a parent note (physical note or ParentSquare message). After 9 absences, a doctor’s note is required (unless it meets specific criteria established by the state). Any further questions or concerns please reach out to our School Nurse Kristen Miner (860) 666-3394 Ext. 1

Please be sure to keep an extra set of clothes in your child’s school bag. It is very helpful for unexpected bathroom accidents, accidental food/drink spills, and/or nose bleeds. The Nurse’s office has a limited supply of clothes and you will be called if your child needs a change of clothes. 

Once again, we will have a Lost and Found rack in the cafeteria and can be accessed by all students during their lunch wave. Please remind your child to check the rack if they come home without an item of clothing. If you have any questions, please email bfigueiredo@npsct.org.

You can make changes to your child's dismissal by clicking the More Links Tab in ParentSquare. Here is the direct dismissal link.

All classrooms are peanut/tree nut free. A snack containing peanut/tree nut may not be eaten in the classroom. At lunch, the cafeteria has designated tables for students with peanut/tree nut allergies. Parents of children with these allergies may opt to have your child sit at this table/s. Birthdays may be acknowledged with non-food items such as stickers, pencils, or other non-food items. Food is not accepted for birthday celebrations.

On Friday, October 23rd, we will be raising money to fight cancer through the Tommy Fund for Childhood Cancer.  Feel free to wear the hat of your choice.  A donation of $1 or more would be greatly appreciated.
