During the week of January 26, our school will be participating in the "National Kindness Week". We are encouraging our students and staff to do kind acts for one another. Please look in your child's backpack for activities that can be done at home to promote kindness and for the week's Spirit of Dress Down Days. Thank you!
On behalf of Mr. Guzzo, here is the Parent Newsletter for January 26, 2026. Don't forget to look out for next week’s updates!

Hello, Metacomet Families,
As long as the temperatures stay above freezing, we would like to have our students get fresh air and go outside for recess. We will allow students to walk in the snow only if they have their winter books and snow pants on. If they do not, students will only be allowed to play on the playscape and the blacktop. We do not want them getting their clothes wet. Thank you!
