It has been wonderful to see your children this week. We are enjoying being back in person and working with our learners. Here are some changes and details for this school year:
New start time
- School starts at 8:00a.m. this year.
- Classes enter the building at 8:00 promptly, so it's great if children can arrive a few minutes before 8:00.
- You can drop your child starting at 7:50.
Breakfast and lunch
- This year, all students can get hot lunch and breakfast free of charge.
- Classroom teachers are sending home sign-up papers each week. Check your child's home folder for this paper.
- The September lunch menu is here.
- If a day's lunch contains meat, a vegetarian option is available.
- If you would like your child to have the vegetarian option, check "vegetarian" on the sign-up paper.
- Breakfast comes in a paper bag and is given to kids at the end of the day. They can take it home and eat it at home. We are not eating breakfast at school this year.
Stay home when sick!
If your child has any of the following symptoms, please keep them at home and contact your family doctor or our school nurse, Megan Spaulding (225-8206 or meganspaulding@mpsvt.org).
- Fever (100.4 F or higher)

Home-school communication
- Our principal, Peter Farrell, sends a weekly newsletter with lots of important information. It's called the Swoop Scoop. You can see the latest issue here. To subscribe, click "follow Peter Farrell" on the right side.
- We have a new administrative assistant in the office named Alyssa Hamel. If you see an email from her, please open it! Diana Koliander-Hart is still at UES and also sends emails sometimes.
Please contact us at any time with any questions!
