PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
Wishing You a Wonderful Winter Recess
As we head into our winter recess, I want to take a moment to wish each of you a restful, enjoyable, and productive break. This time away from school is an opportunity to recharge—whether that means spending time with family and friends, enjoying the winter weather, or simply taking a well-earned pause from the daily routine.
I encourage our students to stay active, embrace the fresh air, and make the most of this time. Whether you’re catching up on assignments, getting ahead in your studies, or diving into a good book, use this break to set yourself up for success in the weeks ahead. Balance is key; find time to relax, but also keep your mind engaged and ready for the next chapter of the school year.
We look forward to welcoming everyone back refreshed and ready to go! Have a safe and wonderful winter recess!
Mr. Yorke
Friendly Update: Elementary Drop-Off and Classroom Visits
At Sharon Springs CSD, we pride ourselves on being a small school with a big heart, where our community comes together to support our students. As we continue to foster independence in our youngest learners, we kindly ask that parents refrain from stopping into their child’s classroom without a pre-arranged meeting with the teacher.
To ensure a smooth start to the school day, as well as to keep our school building secure, we ask that all student drop-offs take place within the visitor’s entrance vestibule. This small step helps our elementary students gain confidence and independence while allowing our teachers to remain focused on all of their students. (The only exception to this are students with pre-arranged plans based on health concerns).
If you have a specific need to meet with your child’s teacher, we would be happy to arrange a time for you. Please contact our main office secretary (Mrs. Keaney, mkeaney@sharonsprings.org / 518 284 2266), who can assist you in scheduling a meeting.
Thank you for your cooperation and for being such a vital part of our school community. We appreciate your support in helping us maintain a safe, nurturing, and productive learning environment!
