Welcome Back, Stratfield Families!

We hope you've soaked up every last bit of summer, because the new school year is almost here! 

It’s hard to believe that just a week from today, we’ll see old friends and new faces in each classroom at Meet the Teacher Orientation. 

Your PTA has been busy behind the scenes getting ready for a great year, and we can't wait to share what's coming. There are so many ways to get involved, and plenty of opportunities to connect with your school community. 

We’ll be introducing a few new things, bringing back a handful of beloved traditions, and working closely with teachers and staff to ensure everyone in our community feels welcomed and supported throughout the year.

A big thank you to our 53 summer survey participants – your comments and feedback are invaluable in informing how our PTA supports students’ school experiences. We’ll be sharing the survey results – along with a financial report from the end of 25-26 – in the coming weeks.

Here's to a fresh start and a fantastic year ahead for all!

Warmly, 

Kristyn Miller, President

Christine Marks, Vice President
