Welcome to Shelton School's 2021-2022 school year and this year's first issue of the Scoop!
We want to welcome everyone to the 2021/2022 Shelton school year! It is so exciting to see all our returning families and of course our new families – welcome to all!
We hope you are enjoying the very first issue of the Scoop for the 2021/2022 school year. The Scoop is the weekly newsletter of the SPA - the Shelton Parents' Association. The Scoop and the school's weekly ePost to Parents are your key sources for news, events and information happening around our school. The Scoop comes out every Tuesday so be sure to check for it in your inbox! And, the ePost to Parents circulates to all parents on Wednesday. Please note, however, if you choose to unsubscribe from the Scoop, the ePost to Parents or any other Shelton email notice, you will be unsubscribed from ALL Shelton communications (something we can't imagine you'd want to do). If you have any questions or concerns with the Scoop, please contact the SPA's VP of Communications, Corrie Shores by clicking here. For questions concerning the ePost to Parents, please contact Lisa Kresl, Shelton's Director of Communication and Marketing (click here).
We have a lot of wonderful activities and events planned throughout this school year that you can find by reading the Scoop or by going to the Shelton school calendar (click here). The school's calendar can be viewed for all school events or you may select only your division, athletics or fine arts.
We would love to get you involved in the SPA. We all have special talents and skills whether it is data entry at a computer, writing thank you notes, fundraising or decorating for an event. We know we can find the right position for you! Please look over our SPA volunteer form (click here) for more information and join us at the SPA Kick-off Coffee on Tuesday, September 14th at 8:45 a.m. – location will be announced.
We hope you have a great beginning to the school year! If you have any questions for us, please click here.
