We look forward to seeing you for parent conferences this week! Just a reminder - park in visitor parking out front, behind the church across the street, and only curbside at the church (and we mean only at the curb).

Early dismissal for grades 5 to 12:
Grade 5 - 11:30 am
Middle School - Noon
Upper School - 12:30 pm
EC to grade 4 - Regular dismissal

STRATEGIES FOR ENGAGING IN YOUR CHILD / GRANDCHILD'S LEARNING PROCESS
October 30, 8:45 – 9:30 a.m., Shelton parents and grandparents are invited to attend a special workshop in the Dining Hall presented by former Shelton Head of Upper School, teacher and current Shelton Grandparent Judy Browne on the topic of Strategies for Engaging in Your Child / Grandchild's Learning Process.
This informal presentation is designed to share games and topics of conversation with your child or grandchild that can be incorporated into the activities of everyday life: driving in the car, at the dinner table or watching a movie. These conversations and games can help increase a child's language development, critical thinking skills and general fund of knowledge which will, in turn, impact the child's overall learning, social skills and self-image.
