Message From our Principal

Dear Families, 

Happy Friday!

Due to technical difficulties and today’s early release, we have adjusted the schedule for mid-year reading and math benchmarking reports. These will now be sent home on Monday, March 2nd. We apologize for the delay and will send a reminder that morning.

District Meetings & Budget Information

The Hanover School District Annual Meeting will be held on Saturday, February 28th, from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm at Hanover High School, with the Dresden School District Meeting immediately following.

If you are unable to attend, you can still learn about the upcoming budget at the Ray School Morning Brew & Budget Review on Monday, March 2nd. Join us for coffee and snacks at 7:30 am, followed by a short presentation and Q&A at 8:00 am. Finally, please remember that Voting Day is Tuesday, March 3rd, from 7:00 am to 7:00 pm at Richmond Middle School.

We hope you have a wonderful February break! Safe travels to everyone heading out of town. The weather looks great here at home, so I’m looking forward to hitting the slopes with my grandson and friends.

Colleen Roy, Ray School Interim Principal

ALL Ray School students and families are welcome! Please stop by the PTO bake sale on your way out the door after the dance! Please bring indoor shoes to change into at the gym door. Students will not be admitted without an adult accompanying and supervising them. Please reach out to Emma Greenough, emmagreenough@hanovernorwichschools.org , with any questions.

 

HAVEN HELPERS

February is a short month and with school vacation - it's even shorter!  Please bring in Macaroni & Cheese this week so we can push over the 1,000 pound mark!  Thanks for your LOVELY contributions!

In case you're planning ahead,  MARCH will be Hand Soap to march out those germs!   Thanks again.

 

ART AT RAY!

Final two weeks to catch the amazing textile artwork at the Howe Library.  Head to the Children's Section and look to the back wall.  You'll see a stunning collection of Ray School artwork from Kindergarten to Grade 5!
