From the Principal: January 2019 Reminder

January 2, 2019

Dear Middlebrook Families,

There is no school on  Monday January 21st. This is in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day.

We had some sad news during the holiday break. One of our cafeteria paraprofessionals, Nancy Phillips, died in the loving care of her family.  We did not share this with the children, as we respect that each family chooses how they share the death of someone. Nancy loved working with our students and appreciated the positive energy of our school. Middlebrook will miss her smile.

Wishing you blessings in 2019!

Regards,

Patricia Frillici, Principal

Dear Parents,

You are invited to Open House -Visitation Day at Middlebrook School. This is a day to visit your child’s classroom to get a snapshot of the teaching and learning process. The sessions are 30 minutes each. To help spread the timing of visits, please use the chart below to determine what time you may come.

(Example: My last name is Frillici, so I would attend my grade 2 child’s class from 10:30-11:00.) We encourage you to enter and exit the classroom in a quiet manner, so that the students can continue to learn. Here is the schedule:

Day/Date Grade Last Names Beginning A-H  Last Names Beginning I-P  Last Names Beginning Q-Z
Monday, October 15th Kindergarten 9:00-9:30 9:30-10:00 10:00-10:30
Monday, October 15th Grade 1 9:00-9:30 9:30-10:00 10:00-10:30
Monday, October 15th Grade 4 9:00-9:30 9:30-10:00 10:00-10:30

Tuesday, October 16th Grade 5 11 :00-11:30 11:30-12:00 12:00-12:30

 
Trumbull Public Schools has provided the following guidelines, so that teaching and learning are the priority of the day:

  • We encourage a limit of 10-12 visitors in a classroom at one time.
  • Visits should last no more than 30 minutes.
  • Parent/ Guardian visitations are not open to grandparents, infants, or siblings.
  • Cell phones and pagers must be turned off or set to vibrate while in the classroom.
  • Photographing or videotaping is absolutely not allowed.
  • Food and beverages are not allowed in classrooms.

On the day of the visit, please sign-in in the front foyer. Be ready to show a photo ID and wear a visitor’s tag. Proceed directly to the classroom you are visiting without stopping at other classrooms. While in the classroom, respectfully follow the teachers’ guidelines, so learning is not interrupted. At the conclusion of the visit, report back to the front foyer to sign-out. We thank you for your assistance in making this a safe, positive learning experience for all.

Sincere thanks,

Principal Frillici Signature

Patricia Frillici, Principal
