Note from Mr. FitzGerald Greetings once again Guilford! Hard to believe, but we already have one full week in the "books". Thank you to the students, staff, and parents for all of your efforts to make the start of the school year such a success. Most impressive is how quickly everyone has adapted to the new arrival and dismissal procedures. Having the students separate into two separate groups, rather than coming in and out as one large group, has really made a difference. Just a friendly reminder that the school bell does not ring until 9:10am. Staff will be out to help direct arrival at 9:10am. In the coming weeks, we'll be quite busy at Guilford. Please take a look at the important dates listed below to make sure you don't miss out on anything. Special note, this Friday is the first Coffee and Conversation with Administration Meeting is at 9:30am. Come have some coffee, eat a donut, and ask myself and Assistant Principal Trish Lannon any questions that you might have on your mind. The next edition of Paw Prints will be sent out on Wednesday, September 25th. If there is anything you need between now and then, do not hesitate to contact me. Have a great rest of your week! Justin FitzGerald
