Welcome Back To School!
Welcome back to everyone in the Weathersfield community — staff, parents and students — to the 2015-2016 school year.
The Weathersfield family is proud to announce the launching of our new school app. Simply search “WEATHERSFIELD” in the App Store or Google Play. Our new app will improve communication by providing quick links to our website, upcoming events, calendars, lunch menus, fundraisers, teacher websites, and one-tap attendance calling.

I am really excited about the opportunities that will be offered to your children during the year. I am fortunate to speak for such a talented staff in saying we are excited about working with you and your children this year!
James Marshall, Principal

Girl Scouts Cadette Troop 60228 and their families
worked over the summer to ready the classroom that will serve as the new science lab at our school. All of the Cadettes are alumnae of Weathersfield. The
Weathersfield PTA will be requesting the general association approve $5,000 in the budget at the September 10 meeting to purchase supplies and
equipment needed for the science lab which is expected to be operational in October. Additionally, PTA funds will be used to pay for a new science
teacher to be hired. Girls TK-5th grade are eligible to join Girl Scouts. Contact Kim Stafford at [email protected] for more information.

Be Part of PTA’s Reflections Art Program!
2015-16 Reflections Art Program Theme:
Let Your Imagination Fly!
The National PTA Reflections Art Program has been encouraging students to get involved in the arts since 1969. Participation in this terrific program encourages students to be inspired by the annual theme to create an original work of art, use their creative talents to express themselves imaginatively, and receive positive recognition for their art.
How to Participate in the PTA Reflections Program:
Students are invited to participate in the Reflections Program by submitting an entry form and an original work of art based on the 2015-16 theme in one of the six areas:
Dance/Choreography
Literature
Photography
Film Production
Music Composition
Visual Arts
Artwork will first be submitted to Weathersfield PTA where it will be recognized, celebrated and judged by grade level division (Primary Division: Kindergarten-2nd Grade, Intermediate Division: 3rd-5th Grade, and Special Artist Division for student artists with special needs). Entries that score the highest in the judging at Weathersfield will then be sent to Conejo Council PTA for judging at the council level.
Please join us for a special Reflections Workshop for students on Monday, September 21st from 2:45-3:45 p.m. in the MPR. At the workshop you will learn more about the Reflections Art program, get information about the six areas of art for the program, and pick up entry forms!
