Hello, Metacomet Families,

We are going to move our Mini Field Day for students who completed the Summer Packets from Wednesday, September 30 to Friday, October 2. Due to all the rain that we had during the past three days, the field is very wet and we do not want our students to get hurt. We expect that by Friday, the grounds will be dry and we will have our Mini Field day from 2:15-3:00 pm. We will not send out permission slips to families. Any student who handed in a completed packet by September 25 will automatically be part of the field day. If you are not sure if your child will be part of the field day you may contact your child's teacher or the Metacomet office. Thank you!
