Please go to the Suffield District Website for the BUS ROUTES,

Would you like to participate in an exciting program that will help welcome new students and families to Spaulding School?
Starting in the fall of 2010, we will begin a Buddy Family program.  We are looking for families to join our efforts in building strong connections with students new to town or those joining our community through the Project Choice Program. 
We are looking for Buddy Families to:
·         Join us at an early evening family picnic at Spaulding School in the fall.
·         Provide new families with phone communication/reminders prior to “special events” at school.
·         Be available to answer new families’ questions about our schools’ procedures and practices.
·         Support opportunities for out of town students to participate in after-school and evening events.
Your participation can be as extensive as you would like. 
To get involved, please contact Angie Roman by emailing aroman@sps.suffield.org or by calling the Spaulding School office at 860-668-3826.
