Community Day of Service May 2

Hello Community,

On Saturday, May 2, ABS in Collaboration with SCIP will host a Green Up gathering to celebrate our community. This year we have a unique focus:

Resuming local posts

Hello Community of Explorers,

I have been asked to resume with blog posts and am happy to do so!

Welcome back and I hope Spring break was a time of great exploration!

Our snow has finally melted and the rain is coming down. This Wednesday is our Next Walk and Roll to School day and now that we have sidewalks to walk on, we will resume our monthly tradition! We hope you join us at one of 4 meeting places.

Windsor Prisoner Alert

October 6, 2014

Dear ABS Community,

Albert Bridge School was alerted by the Windsor Prison that an inmate was missing from a worksite in Windsor this morning at which time we went into a preliminary stage of precaution with what is referred to as "clear the halls". This means children stay in their classroom with their teacher and continue with learning. If a child needed to be in the halls for any reason, (bathroom, nurse) he or she was escorted by an adult. We kept our students inside for the remainder of the day and assured all exterior doors and windows were secure. We kept an administrator in the building until all students are cleared from the bus (meet by an expected adult at the bus stop) or picked up from school by an approved adult. The students and staff did an exceptional job continuing to learn while following procedure. Thank you all for your response and flexibility.

If you did not receive an “alert now” message via phone from Dr. David Baker, our Superintendent, please call the ABS office and let us know so we can check and update our records.

Please call the school if you have any questions.

Sincerely,

Jenifer Aldrich

First week of exploration has been a success!

Our first days of the 2014 and 2015 school year have been a great success. We welcome our new learners and their families. There are many initiatives going on this year- please consider sharing your time, talent and energy! Our SCIP (Parent organization) team is looking for new faces~all are welcome…even if you do not have a student in the school!

Looking forward to an adventurous week ahead as 4th and 5th graders head off to STAR BASE on Tuesday! Kindergarteners have been so awesome in working hard to learn all the new routines of our school day…way to work hard and accomplish a lot!

As always, don't hesitate to stop with ideas, concerns, or thoughts!
