The SPMT is our cross-team leadership group that uses data and community voice to set school priorities, align resources, and track results. We meet regularly to coordinate improvement efforts and share updates with staff and families.


Kindergarteners (Regular Ed Students):
Students must have a physical per Connecticut state law to begin school
Kindergarteners and families use the back door to drop off/pick up students
Kindergarten drop off is 7:45 - 8 and pick up is 2-2:10 by a designated adult. Please be timely.
Bus Students will have a tag that must stay on his/her bookbag, and will be tagged daily with a wristband.
East Rock is a peanut-free environment. If families send lunch, please do not include peanuts or peanut products.
On the first day of school, Teachers will greet students at the outdoor tables in the back playground beginning at 7:45a. and staff will confirm transportation at that time.
If your student will ride the bus that day, please let us know. Thank you for your partnership and attention to these details. We are excited for a great year.!
