PERMISSION SLIPS: Eighth grade students need to remember to turn in the signed permission slip for leaving campus for CoFo visits. Groups will be leaving campus on Wednesday and each student must have a signed slip turned in before that time.
BOARDING SCHOOL VISIT: An admissions representative from Pomfret School will be visiting Colegio Franklin Delano Roosevelt on Friday, March 16th at 2:30 pm to meet with students and parents who are considering an American boarding school. Pomfret is a co-ed, college preparatory boarding school for students in grades 9-12. Over 12% of Pomfret’s 350 students are international, and in the past few years Pomfret has hosted students from more than 20 countries. For further information please visit http://www.pomfretschool.org Please contact the Middle School office if you plan to attend.
WALKING GATE: There is a gate for MS and HS students to use in the mornings and at 3:30 p.m. To use this gate at 3:30 p.m. students must have a pass with a photo. If your child has lost the pass they may pick up a form in the office for you to sign. Please remember to send another photo. Students who need to use the gate once in a while may get a temporary one-day pass by bringing a note signed by a parent authorizing the student to do so. This is a safety issue.
