Notes from the Enfield Principal
Happy Winter!What a beautiful time of year to be in Enfield! Hopefully we will have °`
nice,fluffy snow—not too much and not too little—so that we can get everyone on skis and
sleds and truly enjoy the season.
I would like to mention just a couple really exciting things that are happening at the
school. Our school-wide behavior plan is being implemented and is already meeting with a
great deal of success. In the first weeks of school,teachers have concentrated on ^
community-building and teaching the children about the expectations for the areas within
the school and within their classrooms.All classes meet and to set the tone for the day
during Morning Meeting time.This structure is also reflected twice a month school-wide in
our all-school Morning Meeting where whole grade levels and classrooms take turns sharing greetings and learning
activities with their schoolmates.This is becoming a highly anticipated routine for the whole school and one in which
everyone from the community is invited to attend! Please call for the schedule.
Another recent and exciting development at Enfield is our GED satellite program that is being held on Tuesday
and Thursday evenings from 5 until 8. If you or someone you know is at all interested in getting a GED, please call the
school for more information. It is my hope that we can continue to house this program at the school and help our
community members with this important educational accomplishment!
As always, please give the school a call if you have any questions or comments!
