School Pictures
Picture Retake Day
The picture packets arrived on Monday! Some students even brought them already and others will receive them Tuesday to bring home. For students that missed the first picture day or if you wish to have your child's picture retaken, we will be holding Picture Retake Day on Wed. Nov. 2nd. (Note: Two class pictures will be taken that day: Ms. Kristine's preschool class and Mr. Joyce's 3rd grade class.)
Bus Information
Our NRSD Business and Operations Manager met with Dee Bus last week and included the MassDOT project representative in their meeting. MassDOT was able to provide a construction update and projection of work in the coming months. As this is an ongoing and extensive project, we may see updates to routes occasionally and will communicate with families accordingly.
