Both JCS and LGN are hosting an Open House for families of incoming 26-27 Kindergarten students on Monday, May 4th at 6:30pm at each individual school. We invite all parents/guardians ​of incoming JCS Kindergarten students to join us Monday night May 4th at 6:30pm at JCS ​for the Open House and to meet our Kindergarten Team! The event is meant just for the parents and guardians.

Registration for Kindergarten for the 26-27 school year is open. See the flyer below and go to https://www.norton.k12.ma.us/13114_2 to register your child. Even students that are currently enrolled in the Little Lancers program that will be in Kindergarten next year need to be registered using this online form. There isn’t any “automatic rollover” registration from Little Lancers to Kindergarten.

We know that the Thursday ice cream service during lunches is popular for many of our students. In partnership with our food service provider, Chartwells, here is the updated schedule for April:

There WILL be ice cream service Thursday 4/30

As the weather continues to get warmer and we spend more time outside, it’s important for everyone to watch out and regularly check for ticks. For more information about ticks and tick-borne illness, check out the following resources:

A quick safety reminder for families who participate in morning drop-off and/or afternoon pick-up; please make sure that students stay fully within all vehicles when vehicles are moving. On the warmer days before April Break, a number of students were hanging out of the windows of vehicles that were moving, which was concerning. We want everyone to be safe during the morning arrival and afternoon dismissal routines. Thank you for your cooperation!

We want to celebrate the animals JCS students and staff love! We are creating a special JCS Community Pet Wall in the hallway outside of the art classroom and we need YOUR help to fill it up! Send in a photo of your child's pet and we'll display it for the whole school to enjoy. Here are the steps:

The deadline for sharing pet pictures is Friday, May 1st. See the flyer below for more information.
