Dear Stratton families:
As the weather gets cold, a few reminders: - We are outside for recess as MUCH AS POSSIBLE, we're ALL a fan of it, but our district policy is that students are outside when the 'feels like' temperature is 20 degrees and higher. Also, the wind at the top of the hill (we call it Mt. Stratton for a reason!) is often more blustery than other parts of town. Many students are not interested in playing outside when it's that cold, and end up simply standing waiting for it to all be over! - We still have a 'recess closet' of extra clothing thanks to parent donations - please reach out to me if your child needs ANY element of winter clothing, we've got it for them. - Swing by the lost and found sometime - things are stacking up! - We will wait for the day to start inside ONLY IF the feels like temperature is 20 degrees or below, please wait for that direction from faculty and administration coming outside to announce it. - PLEASE remember to not use the faculty parking lot as a drop off area in the morning. It is intended to be a safe walk to school environment once all faculty and staff are here by 7:50. On Friday, January 6 at 8:30, the 'Coffee with Michael' topic will be Social-Emotional Learning programming at Stratton, including responses to acts of unkindness and bullying. Please try to make it on site, coffee and munchkins courtesy of the PTO! We will have a Zoom link later if you'd like to attend remotely. Tomorrow evening at the Arlington School Committee meeting, Dr. O'Brien and I will be presenting the Stratton School Improvement Plan for 2022-23, along with the Thompson School. Thanks so much to members of the School Council who helped draft this important annual document that focuses our growth efforts around the district mission and vision. As always, please reach out anytime with any questions or concerns, hope you have a great end to 2022! All the best, Michael Welcome To Our School!Upcoming Events at Stratton

Dear Stratton Families, As we approach winter break, I just wanted to say thank you for being a community that cares so much for each other. It’s an amazing place to work and I am grateful to work with the staff and families here at Stratton. Many folks have been experiencing illness during this viral season. It is a good time to revisit the APS Covid protocols for this year, as well as review our APS illness/attendance guidelines, which are located on Page 16 of the Student Handbook. If you need any COVID test kits, please reach out to me. We held both Flu and COVID vaccine clinics at Stratton this Fall. At the Covid vaccine clinic, 185 Covid vaccines were given! I don’t have an exact number for the Flu clinic, but it seemed well attended when I got mine. Thank you for turning out in high numbers at these clinics. We’ll make this a yearly thing at Stratton as it is so convenient for everyone. I look forward to seeing everyone back in the new year, and please reach out if you have any questions, concerns, or needs. Have a safe and healthy break! In good health, Nurse Jen stratton.nurse@arlington.k12.ma.us 781-316-3752 COVID protocol information from APS
