  • We are scheduling a supplies pick up on Wednesday, October 7 in the Sheffield parking lot between 1:00-3:00 for all grades.  If you picked up a manilla folder with beginning of the year paperwork back when we handed out chrome books, please complete forms and bring them with you.  If you did not, no problem, we will have a folder ready for you.  It would be wonderful to have you plan to complete the paperwork when you arrive so it’s one less thing to have to remember to do and return, but not required. Please bring your own pen.

  • School committee voted to slowly bring back our high needs populations placing priority to 10 Sheffield students first, for a tentative mid October date.

  • There is a flu clinic for families scheduled for October 21 from 4:30-6:30 pm.  Please contact Nurse Sue at 863-7441 between 8:30-3:15 to sign up.

  • Our Social Emotional Learning (SEL) book this past week was Black is a Rainbow Color by Angela Joy.  The story is how a child reflects on the meaning of being Black, about a people, a culture, a history, and a legacy.

  • Just a heads up that Monday, October 12 is a holiday and there is no school.

Hello, Sheffield families! We miss your smiling faces! 

If you aren’t familiar with us, or if you are new to our school, we are the Friends of Sheffield - a group of parents and caregivers, school staff and community members who help support the amazing learning community at Sheffield Elementary School.  FOS plans events for our students, organizes fundraising, and coordinates staff appreciation activities.  During a normal school year FOS sponsors a variety of fun, family events including an annual pumpkin carving party, a booth at The Great Falls Festival, field day at Camp Kee-wanee, class t-shirts for all students, staff appreciation week, a trivia night fundraiser, and other small projects, celebrations, and improvements within the school.  Although we aren’t together physically right now, we hope to keep many of these traditions alive!

 

With Sheffield Pride,

Melissa Pitrat, Principal
