Announcements

Town Hall

Due to the threat of Hurricane Lee we cancelled the Town Hall on Thursday, 14 September. We have reformatted the Strategic Plan delivery and have scheduled Coffee with Riki Q&As.

• Thursday 21 Sept. @ 8:30 am in the school Library
• Tuesday 26 Sept @ 8:30 am in the school Library
• Wednesday 27 Sept. @ Time TBD - Location TBD (around 2pm in town)
• Wednesday 27 Sept. @ 5:30 pm in the school Library

Coffee, fruit, and pastries will be provided.

It has come to our attention that the previous question form was not anonymous. We've created a new Google form that is anonymous.

Hurricane Lee Update

We are closely monitoring the approach of Hurricane Lee, which is currently a threat to Bermuda.

Term 1/Full Year Pizza Lunch deadline: Sunday, September 17 @ 8 pm

September 15 pizza lunch make up day will be on Wednesday, October 4.

If you have ordered hot lunch, you can ask for a refund from Kara's Kitchen or send an extra container and dinner is whichever lunch your child did not eat.

Volunteer to help run a smooth Pizza Friday for the students. Don't have a lot of time? Some of these commitments are only 15 mins!

Spirit Week starts Monday!

This annual event is a fantastic opportunity for students to come together, showcase their creativity, and build school spirit.

Parent Communication Guide

We've introduced a parent communication guide to clearly outline Somersfield’s protocols and methods for addressing concerns or questions.
