Message from the Principal, Kerry Ford
May 21, 2019
Dear Increase Miller Families,
It is hard to believe we are approaching the end of the school year. We have so much to accomplish before the year ends. I thought it was important to share some special dates, information and upcoming activities so that you can prepare your child and attend family events.
Volleyball Game
This Thursday, May 23, a volleyball game is scheduled to take place between fifth grade students and faculty/staff. The game will be played outside by the gym, weather permitting, and our K-4 students will attend during a designated time. Please have your child wear school spirit wear, bring a beach towel to sit on while outside, and a water bottle. If the weather is inclement, we will have the game on Friday, June 7th in the afternoon. I’d like to thank our PE teachers for organizing this special event.

From the Library
The last day of library classes is Friday, June 7th.
The Lewisboro Children's Librarian will be here on June 10th and 11th to present the library's summer reading program.
Response to Intervention Benchmarking
As part of the Response to Intervention (RtI) process as per New York State, we have been implementing reading and math screenings to students. This data is useful as it informs us about student growth and identifies students’ needs. If your child is receiving services, exits services, or qualifies for services, you will receive a communication from one of our Interventionists in the coming weeks.
We look forward to all of our special activities planned for students as we approach the warmer days of June.
Sincerely,
Kerry Ford & Andy Galotti
