Each grade level has a supply list to share with families for the first day of school. Some grades have their supply lists ready to go and other grades will share their lists after classroom teacher assignments are shared on August 15th.

Please find links to the Kindergarten, 2nd Grade, and 3rd Grade supply lists. 1st grade and PreK teachers will share supply lists with families after classroom teacher assignments are shared.

One of the most exciting things for a student is to find out who their new classroom teacher is going to be for the school year! The three Norton elementary schools are going to send out classroom teacher assignments to families on Friday, August 15th (assuming that the technology systems cooperate).

At the end of last year, teams consisting of the principal, teachers, and support staff work collaboratively to create balanced groups of students, taking into consideration such factors as learning styles, classroom performance, developmental levels, peer relationships, social development, and class size. As listed in the Elementary School Handbook, "requests for a specific teacher will not be accepted".

The Norton 2025-26 School Calendar is posted on the district website and the JCS website, https://jcs.norton.k12.ma.us/calendar-25-26. We appreciate families referring to the calendar whenever possible when scheduling appointments to avoid students missing school. One of the goals of the district and all schools is to increase overall student attendance rates.

Our custodians are working hard this summer to get all of our classrooms clean and shiny. Thanks Mr. Eric, Mr. Paul, Mr. Mike, and Mr. Jason!
