Hello Doolittle Families,

Happy Veteran’s Day!

At our Town Meeting this morning, in addition to our usual spotlights, students sang patriotic songs and heard from our Assistant Principal, Mrs. Susan Lessard, who served in the first gulf war; Desert Storm.

At our Town Meeting students also had a chance to say goodbye to our School Counselor, Tamara Kelly. Today was her last day at Doolittle School.  Mrs. Kelly has taken a position in the Wallingford School System. She has made a positive impact on our school and we all wish her the best in her new job.  

We recently completed the hiring process for our new Counselor and hope to have her start very soon. In the meantime, Teri Averack, our current School Psychologist, will be filling in. Mrs. Averack has been a staff member at our school for a number of years and knows many students. If you ever have concerns about your child’s social-emotional well being, please feel free to call the Doolittle office.
