EMAIL RE: TARDIES- Earlier today I sent an email regarding unexcused tardies. This was sent to all parents in an effort to provide information. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. Your support is greatly appreciated.

High School Options – Although most of our students will be attending Ledyard High School, students have five other opportunities available upon leaving Ledyard Middle School. The following schools presented their programs to students on October 6: Grasso Tech, Norwich Tech, Agri-Science at LHS, Marine Science HS, Science and Technology Magnet HS. Amanda Fagan, principal of Ledyard High School, also talked to our students. Each of the technical/magnet high schools will have an Open House that you are encouraged to attend if your child is interested in their program. These dates are available on the individual school’s websites. Applications will be available through Guidance or they can also be found on the school websites. Students are encouraged to complete and turn in their applications to guidance as soon as possible.


PRUDENTIAL SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY AWARD- The Prudential Spirit of Community Award is America’s largest youth recognition program based solely on volunteer service. It recognizes students who have participated in meaningful activities for their communities. Students who have done so over the past year are invited to fill out an online application at spirit.prudential.com or nassp.org/spirit by November 7th. The application may then be submitted to Mr. Pomroy. The school’s top volunteer (if he/she has met a minimum number of volunteer hours) will become eligible to win $1,000 and an all-expenses paid trip with a parent or guardian to Washington, D.C.

LEDYARD HIGH SCHOOL AGRI-SCIENCE- The Agri-Science Department will be hosting an 8th Grade Open House to all students who are interested in learning more about our Regional Agri-Science Program on November 9th from 6:30-8:00 p.m. Interested eighth grade students and their parents should plan to attend this event. Additional information may be found also by visiting: www.ledyardagriscience.com.
