Principal's Column

 

 

Dear Polk Street Families,

 

Welcome back to another wonderful school year.   We start this year with the continued expectation that together, we can make a great educational program, outstanding.  I look forward to an exciting, challenging and engaging year of growth and high expectations as we learn, work and inspire our children together. 

To support the goal of strengthening communication, I ask that each parent please complete the new parent email registration so that important information can be sent to you directly during the school year. (If you registered in the past, there is no need to re-register).  This will also lessen the use of paper as well as help you to receive information about daily occurrences and weekly updates in a timelier manner.    Mr. Riccobono and I have been very busy putting together schedules and addressing building issues to make for a great startup to the new school year.  Enjoy these remaining days of summer with your family and let's have a terrific school year.

 

All our best,

Gilbert A. Torossian
Principal
Thomas A. Riccobono

Assistant Principal

 

    Parent E-Mail Registration
    For the 2010-2011 school year we would like to try something new and exciting!  With our current eChalk webpage system we have the ability to gather emails and send out mass email messages with one click.  This would enable us to help save paper and time and allow you to receive important information immediately, without having to search through your child's backpack!   If you are interested in participating, upon completing this form, you will be sent a username and password that will enable you to register with your email.  Upon completing the registration form and confirming your registration, you will be on a list to receive any electronic communication from the school that may be available.   Thank you in advance for your willingness to help us explore using 21st century tools for communication!   Sincerely, Mr. Gilbert Torossian, Principal Polk Street School
