End of Year Music Shares: K, 1, and 2
We will host end of year music shares for our primary students as follows:
Grades 1 and 2: Wednesday May 25 at 1:45pm
Kindergarten: Wednesday June 1 at 2:15pm
These music shares will be held outside (weather permitting). You are welcome to take your child home with you following these mini “concerts”. We ask that you please let your child’s teacher know if this is your intent so that we may have them packed up and ready to leave following the program. In the event of inclement weather, we will relocate to the Common Room.
Joint Royle/Tokeneke PTO program at Tokeneke School (See information and RSVP link below)
Parenting Young Children in the Digital Age: Technology Usage in a Post-Covid World
**Please join us for a joint Royle-Tokeneke PTO program for all current 4th and 5th grade students and parents**
How can we help our children develop appropriate habits when using technology? Can we unwind the uptick in screen time resulting from the pandemic? Can my child navigate middle school without a smartphone? The Tokeneke/Royle PTOs are hosting a panel discussion to address these questions and more and is inviting elementary school parents and children in fifth grade from across the district to attend on Thursday, June 2 at 7:00pm in the Tokeneke Common Room. Dr. Joan McGettigan, DPS Director of Instructional Technology, will discuss technology best practices and potential concerns, as well as parental controls on devices. In addition, OK-2-Delay’s Marty Hendrickson and Jacqueline Telgheder will present the parent perspective on smartphones and social media, along with 7th and 8th grade students who will speak about their experience in middle school with respect to smartphones. This is open to 4th and 5th grade parents AND children from Royle and Tokeneke. Please RSVP here if you would like to attend. Any questions can be directed to our Royle PTO co-chairs Lindsay Kollar and Monica Silverman!
Hosted by: 5th Grade Committee (Ann Gallager) ** Please stay tuned for more information!

CT-SEDS – Connecticut’s *NEW* IEP
Attention families! The State of CT has been hard at work developing a new system and document for students receiving Special Education and Related Services. This new system and IEP format, called CT-SEDS, will be rolled out over the upcoming year. Please join us for a District-Wide Parent Coffee Presentation on Wednesday June 8th at 10am to learn more about the new system. Please use the following Zoom link to join: https://darienps.zoom.us/j/93123867726. If you cannot make it, the presentation will be recorded and shared on the Special Education section of the District’s website.
Last Day of School
A reminder that our last day of school will be Monday 6/20 (early dismissal at 12:55pm). We know many families already have camp and vacation plans set. If you know your child will not be in on Monday 6/20, please let Jessica Presser (jpresser@darienps.org) know to assist in our planning for that day. Given that we anticipate many children will not be able to attend on 6/20, all “end of year” classroom events will take place the prior week.
