Winter Weather Reminders 

Please remember that the weather in New England can be unpredictable. We make every effort to take the kids outside for recess when the weather allows us to do so. Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately and ready for the ever-changing New England weather. During the winter months, students often forget sweatshirts, jackets, gloves, etc. Please be sure to label jackets, sweatshirts, hats, etc. as many winter items end up in our school's lost and found. The Delaney School Lost and Found is located in the Delaney Main Office vestibule. Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of each month.
