Students and their loved ones gathered outside of Clear Stream Avenue School, Forest Road School and Shaw Avenue School for the first day of the 2018-2019 school year on Sept. 5. 

With backpacks and school supplies in hand, the students were warmly greeted by faculty, building principals, assistant principals and members of central administration, including Superintendent of Schools Dr. Nicholas Stirling and Assistant Superintendent for Curriculum and Instruction Dr. Roxanne Garcia France. Teachers introduced themselves, students met their new peers, organized their belongings and learned their new classroom routines. 

In addition, the schools held a PTA breakfast for families who recently joined their school community. This gave them the opportunity to meet others, learn about the PTA members, the upcoming events taking place and how they could get involved.
