Pajama
Day ( 12 / 8 )
This Friday , the Enfield Public Schools , will engage in our annual PJ fundraiser to support our local Connecticut Children ’ s Hospital ( CCH ). Every donation made directly supports cancer and blood disorders being treated at CCH . Students are encouraged to donate $ 1 and wear their PJ ’ s this Friday . The donation page is accessible HERE .
Bus Request
If you are requesting a formal bus change due to a residency relocation or other circumstance , please ensure you make this request through the proper channels . Smyth Bus Company places a great deal of logistical effort into creating bus routes and to ensure all resident requests are fulfilled . Bus lists and resident locations are part of a larger security measure that ensures accountability while transporting our students . Any requests for a permanent bus route change need to be requested via our liaison , Mrs . Sue Perry . Once received , we work with the bus company to accommodate the request . Once completed , we will communicate the start date with the parent / guardian . This bus information is strictly for long term or permanent bus changes . We appreciate your attention to this matter .
* Reminder : We dismiss buses approximately five minutes after our dismissal time . We do not hold buses for those who elect to socialize and / or “ create ” on social media platforms .
