Week of April 13th

Hello JCS families,

A reminder that this week is a regular school week and April Break starts the NEXT week on Monday, April 21st. Lots of our neighbors in RI do have their April Break this week, so it's easy to get confused. We DO have an Early Release Day this Friday, 4/18.

Important Update: Change in Last Day of School for Kindergarten Students

We are writing to inform you of an important change regarding the last day of school for Norton kindergarten students, both at JCS and LGN.

Due to the upcoming kindergarten screening and placement process for new students, we have made the decision to adjust the last day of school for all Norton Kindergarten students from Tuesday, June 17th to Friday, June 13th. Kindergarten students' last day on Friday, June 13th will be a full-day, not an early release day. This adjustment will allow our staff the necessary time and resources to ensure a smooth transition for both our current and incoming kindergarten students.

We understand that this change may impact your family plans, and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience it may cause. Please know that we have carefully considered the needs of all our students and believe that this adjustment will ultimately benefit our kindergarten community as a whole.

If you have any questions or concerns about this change, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or your child’s teacher. We are here to support you and your child every step of the way. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

Norton Public Schools’ Summer Enrichment Program!

We are pleased to offer a variety of opportunities for students entering grades K-12 to take part in this summer. There are four different weeks offered from Monday, July 7th through Thursday, July 31st. Sessions will take place Monday-Thursday, 9am-12pm.

Norton Middle School will be the host site of the Summer Enrichment Program. All students may be dropped off at NMS between 8:45am-8:55am. Each morning, a parent or family representative must bring the K-4 students to be checked into NMS. Students entering Grades 5 and up do not need a parent or family representative to check them in. Attendance will be taken each day at 9:00am. Once the day begins, your child may not leave without permission. Students must stay within school boundaries and remain in registered sessions until release at the end of each day. Pick-up is expected at the conclusion of the sessions at 12:00pm at Norton Middle School.

Please see the linked brochure for more information, including on how to register your child.
