Good Afternoon Birch Lane Families,

As we continue to prioritize the safety and well-being of all our students, we want to remind everyone of the importance of following our Drop and Go arrival procedure on Nassau Street. This routine, outlined in the attached letter, helps ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient start to each school day.

Please take a moment to carefully review all details of the procedure, paying special attention to the sections highlighted in yellow. These areas, when not followed, can lead to very dangerous situations. We also kindly ask that you share this information with anyone who may be driving your child to school—such as grandparents, babysitters, or other caregivers.

Thank you, as always, for your continued support and partnership in keeping our students safe.

Best regards,
Stephen Aspetti & Joyce Larkin

Dear Birch Lane Families:

We are writing to inform you that this school year, we would like to continue our tradition of implementing Positive Thought Thursday. To help promote our building’s positive energy and kindness themes, we will be encouraging our students to wear a T-shirt displaying a positive message on Thursdays, beginning on September 25th
.
T-shirts can include messages such as, but not limited to: “Choose Kind,” “Be the Nice Kid,” “Don’t Worry, Be Happy.” Shirts can include any phrase or picture that sends a positive thought and puts a smile on someone’s face!

This is completely optional of course, but we hope you consider having your child participate on Thursdays! Thank you for being such a positive part of our school community!

Best Regards,

Stephen Aspetti & Joyce Larkin

Good Morning Birch Lane Families,

This September 11th marks the 24th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. The day was officially designated as Patriot Day. On this national day of Service and Remembrance, we pay tribute to the heroes and victims who lost their lives on September 11, 2001 and we recommit ourselves to the spirit of unity, patriotism, and service that carried our Nation through in the days that followed.

We are asking for all students and staff are asked to show their patriotism by wearing red, white and blue tomorrow. We will begin our day by observing a moment of silence to reflect upon the lives lost and the impact of that day.

In Remembrance and Unity,

Stephen Aspetti and Joyce Larkin
