Welcome Back!
It is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the 2010-11 school year. I am looking forward to an exciting year of educational and spiritual growth for your children.
Some projects that were completed during the summer months included the creation of a second Pre-K classroom, and the relocation of the Kindergarten classroom to the second floor. Both of these classrooms were painted and equipped with new furniture. The new Kindergarten classroom has a brand new SmartBoard with an integrated projector and sound system.
Returning to St. Dominic's but newly assigned to the following grades are Mrs. Jennifer Zarzycki as the new Pre-K teacher for the second Pre-K class, and Mrs. Sandra Dolisi as the new grade 3 teacher.
Please help me in welcoming our newest faculty and staff members:
Mrs. Christina Gorey, Music Teacher
Miss Jessica Maltz, Art Teacher
Mrs. Valerie Wendt, Pre-K Teacher Assistant
The first day of school for students in grades Kindergarten - 8 is on Wednesday, September 8th.
The school day begins at 8:00 A.M. this year. Children should arrive to school between 7:40 A.M. and 8:00 A.M. Please do not drop your child/ren off before 7:40 A.M. as there is no supervision in the Social Room prior to that time.
Once again, the little green flag men will be outside on Anstice Street to designate the morning drop-off zone. Children should be dropped-off between the flag men. Please drive all the way up to the first flag man in order to provide room for cars and buses behind you. The flag men will be brought into school at 8:00 A.M., and the Social Room doors will be locked. If you do not see the flag men outside, then you must bring your child/ren to the School Street entrance. Children arriving after 8:10 A.M. are considered late and will receive a late pass.
Please join the School Board on Friday evening, September 10th for the annual Back to School Cocktail Party at 7:00 P.M. at the Mill River Club. This year the Board celebrates A Night of Appreciation and Thanksgiving to you for your commitment to our school.
Please join me on Tuesday evening, September 14th for Meet the Teacher Night at 7:00 P.M. in the Social Room. You will have the opportunity to meet your child/ren's teachers and visit the classrooms.
Lastly, please register your email address on the new parent email registration form found on the bottom left-hand side of this page. Registering your email address enables you to receive newsflashes from the school office as well as updates from your child/ren's teachers.
Have a Happy and Safe Labor Day!!! See you on September 8th!!!

The students of St. Dominic Elementary School formed an American Flag in observance of Flag Day on June 14th. The students prayed the Hail Mary, recited the Pledge of Allegiance and sang the National Anthem. After, they enjoyed a special treat of red, white and blue ice pops.
