Dear Bulldog Families –

As we plan for the remainder of the school year, your involvement will be critical in planning and supporting school social events and end-of-year activities.

Our student council has been discussing many ideas with school administrators and the PTO, including:

· Game Night Social Event – February 23

· Multicultural Night – March 28

· Spring Social Event – April or May

· 8^th Grade Dinner Dance – May

· 6^th Grade Field Trip to Holiday Hill– June

· 7^th Grade Field Trip to Urban Air – May and Quassy Amusement Park – June

· 8^th Grade Field Trip to Lake Compounce – June

· 8^th Grade Graduation – June

Making these events happen requires parent involvement. We need your help to plan events, volunteer at events, and to help fundraise to reduce the per-student cost of field trips.

Our fundraising efforts so far this year have been disappointing. The Charleston Wrap fundraiser generated only $1,200 and the December Pizza Sales netted only about $250. The Annual Holiday Sale lost money. When you consider that every out-of-town field trip costs at least $8,000, it’s possible that we will not be able to offer some of these opportunities this school year.

The Student Council, the PTO, and the Cloonan Administrative team are inviting you to attend one of two meetings to talk about how you can get more involved in our school community. The meetings are as follows:

· Monday, February 5 at 5 pm via Zoom – School Governance Council Meeting. Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/84768988080?pwd=VnRHYk1nNk5UNURxNi9ORm5BbGZ5UT09

· Friday, February 9 at 9 am at Cloonan – PTO monthly meeting with Cloonan administration

We cannot stress enough what a positive difference it makes in our school community to have parents and family involved. The Cloonan Community is what we make of it, and together, we can make it truly great.

Regards,

David Tate, Principal & Grade 8 Administrator

Hector Huertas, Assistant Principal & Grade 7 Administrator

Jillian Churchill, Assistant Principal & Grade 6 Administrator

Dr. Peter Hadley, Restorative Student Support Specialist, Student Council Advisor & School Governance Council

Dr. Freddy Fuentes, Eighth Grade Mathematics & School Governance Council

Dr. Lori Rhodes, Associate Superintendent for Access and Opportunity, joined us in our Cloonan Town Hall on Wednesday October 25 at 6:30pm. She presented a plan to accelerate the Long Term Facilities Plan. This was one in a series of community conversations about the plan. We are looking for your feedback. This plan affects students districted for Cloonan from the Fall 2024 and beyond.

Here is the video recording of the meeting. Here is the link to the transcript:
