The 3rd Grade Farewell Celebration is scheduled for Monday, June 22nd at 2:00pm in the JCS cafeteria. We’re looking forward to welcoming families to join us in the celebration.

The 2026-27 School Year Calendar is posted both on the district website and on the JCS website under “Students & Families”. It's also linked below for your convenience.

We respectfully request that families use this calendar to plan family trips, events, and medical appointments on days when school is not in session, if at all possible. In the 2026-27 school year we will be continuing our school's focus on improving daily attendance for students to support their learning.

Your child should have come home with the summer learning packet this past week. The packet included the parent letter explaining the summer learning activities, a reading and math log, a math calendar for your child's grade level, and a resource page with fun reading and math websites and apps.

The summer learning activities are optional. However, to help maintain skills learned during the school year, it is helpful for students to take part in reading and math activities on a regular basis this summer. 

Please have your child return the bottom portion of the parent letter by Monday, June 22nd, which indicates that you have received the summer learning packet. If an additional packet is needed over the summer, the digital packet can be found on the NPS district website.

Thank you for your support and have a wonderful and safe summer!

If your family is moving this summer (or has already moved) and your child will no longer be attending JCS in the fall, please call the school office at 508-285-0120 or email Mrs. Robichaud at crobichaud@norton.k12.ma.us. We want to make sure to update our records and enrollments for next year AND prepare any student files that need to be sent to another school or district.

One of our reading tutors, Mrs. Sall, donated a seed of a giant pumpkin (1000+ lbs.) to JCS! After consulting with our facilities department, we just couldn't find an appropriate spot on the JCS grounds to grow such a large pumpkin. However, we don't want this very cool pumpkin sprout to go to waste and we would love for a JCS family to try to grow it.

If any family is interested in taking this giant pumpkin sprout and growing it, please let Mr. Barrette know and he will gladly give to you. Just be aware, the giant pumpkin that the seed came from grew to over 1,200 lbs!
