Sag Harbor Elementary School

DON’T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN COVID-19 Infection Rates are Rising Keep your circle of contacts small. Lower your risk of exposure to COVID-19, even during the holidays. When you are around others, stay 6 feet apart and wear your mask. If you’re sick, stay home! Don’t go to work or school. Get tested and isolate until you know your results. If you have been in contact with someone who has COVID-19, stay home and away from others for 14 days. Download the COVID-19 Alert NY app at https://coronavirus.health.ny.gov/covid-alert-ny and get private COVID-19 exposure alerts.

The Mitten Line is a long-standing project at Sag Harbor Elementary. It is an opportunity for Sag Harbor School families to both give and receive assistance during the winter holidays. The Mitten Line allows our community to come together and provide a joyful holiday for all Sag Harbor children. If you are able to purchase a gift to donate, please sign-up for a "wish" on The Mitten Line. You may access the gift list at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30E0949AFA62FA5FA7-themitten We encourage families to speak with their children about their own "wish list" and consider removing one of their own wishes in order to fulfill the wish of another child. The book, The Mitten Line by M.L. Grant (https://youtu.be/wXvg335VcsA), was shared with the students at Morning Program so they are familiar with the idea of trading a wish for another. Please bring all purchased items, unwrapped, to Sag Harbor Elementary between 8:00am-4:00pm by December 15. Gift cards and monetary donations are also accepted. Please contact Mrs. Grant at mgrant@sagharborschools.org if you have any questions. Thank you for your care and consideration!
