Family Newsletter

Dear Momauguin Families,

We have an exciting and busy week ahead at school!

Tomorrow, our Grade 5 students will visit Joseph Melillo Middle School as part of their transition activities. Please remember that all students must have a signed permission slip in order to attend the trip.

Second graders will be on our first beach field trip this Wednesday, June 3rd. Please check ParentSquare for important information from your child’s teacher, including trip details and reminders. Be sure to return all required permission slips as soon as possible.

This Thursday is Field Day! The weather forecast is calling for warm and sunny conditions, and we are looking forward to a fun day outdoors. Please apply sunscreen to your child before school, and have students bring a water bottle and wear a hat if possible. Comfortable clothing and sneakers are recommended so everyone can safely enjoy the day’s activities.

Friday evening will be our Grade 5 Carnival. This special event is for Grade 5 students only and is designed to provide a fun opportunity for students to celebrate the end of their elementary school experience together. Additional details and reminders will be shared with Grade 5 families this week.

As we move into the final weeks of the school year, we appreciate your continued partnership and support in helping our students finish the year strong. We are looking forward to many memorable experiences and celebrations together!

In partnership,

Julie Oca Church

Principal

Momauguin Elementary School

The June 10th PTO Meeting has be cancelled.

Attention Grade 4 Families:

We are looking for parent volunteers to help decorate and set up for the 5th Grade Stepping Up Ceremony on Thursday, June 18th from 8:30–10:00 a.m. The ceremony will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m.

This year, we would love for the families of next year’s Grade 5 students to help support our current Grade 5 families by assisting with preparations for this special event. Our hope is to begin a wonderful new tradition where each incoming Grade 5 class helps prepare the celebration for the class ahead of them. In turn, when your child is a 5th grader, families will do the same for you!

If you are available and would like to be part of this special tradition, please email:

jchurch@east-haven.k12.ct.us and Momauguinpto@gmail.com

Thank you for your support and partnership in helping make this a memorable celebration for our students!
