This Week's News

Rochambeau is Back!

Rochambeau Playground is back and better than ever! With a newly painted sports court and blacktop, we're thrilled to be back and so are our students!

Thank You to the KPA for Our Teacher Appreciation Breakfast!

We really are the luckiest little school in the world! Our parents association has treated our faculty to a yummy breakfast spread to kick off Teacher Appreciation week. We really do feel appreciated, and we are so, so grateful! Thank you KPA!

Screen-Free Week

From Monday, May 5th through Sunday, May 11th Kittredge School will be participating in a Screen-Free Challenge. Our hope is that students will use screens only as needed for school related assignments and activities. We challenge our students to find new ways to entertain themselves and engage with others. This might be playing basketball, doing an art project or reading a book.

Each class will have a screen-free goal in order to win the challenge. As your child comes to school each morning May 5-11, they will have an opportunity to share how they are doing with this challenge.  If your child's class reaches their goal on May 11th they can look forward to a class reward, to be announced in class.

Good luck and remember, enjoy the process! There is a lot to be done when we put down our screens and look around.

Kittredge Sports Banquet

This evening is the annual Kittredge Sports Banquet! Student athletes and their families are invited to come to Rochambeau Playground from 5-7pm for pizza and celebration of another fantastic year of Kittredge sports!

Hot Lunch

Two more to go! This week's hot lunch will be a caesar salad. You can sign your child up for hot lunch here.
