Callahan Family Newsletter

Students had so much fun participating in fall activities at the Pumpkin Palooza. As a school, we raised $6,591! Thank you PTA for organizing this amazing event. Special thank you to all staff and PTA volunteers for lending a helping hand!

We had a GREAT turn out at the Monster Mash on Friday evening! Many students were dressed in costumes and had a great time playing games, taking pictures at the photo booth, and enjoying yummy treats. Thank you PTA for sponsoring this event! Special thank you to our custodial team for helping with set up and break down. There were SO MANY smiling faces throughout the evening!

You should be hearing from your child(ren)'s teacher(s) to schedule a time for parent teacher conference. Families can choose to attend conferences either in-person or virtually during the following time blocks.

Afternoon conferences: 12:25pm to 2:25pm

Evening conferences: 5:00pm to 7:00pm

We still have many jackets, sweatshirts, water bottles, lunch boxes and shoes! If your child is missing any of these items, please have them check out the lost and found rack located in the cafeteria.

This Friday, November 4 all Norwood elementary schools will practice the Run-Hide-Fight Drill facilitated by the Norwood Police Department. The Callahan School is scheduled to practice at 1:00pm. This drill is a safety measure undertaken by all Norwood Public Schools to ensure staff and students understand what to do if we need to engage in our "Run-Hide-Fight" protocols. Check out this video and response protocols from the district.

Norwood Students have the day off on November 8th! Bring the kids to XTreme Craze to burn off some energy and have fun with their friends.

A portion of Callahan sales will be donated to our PTA to support our school!

Be sure to spread the word to families and friends -- not just Callahan families!

Please note, this is not a drop off event.

As we work towards building stronger connections between our schools and families, we would love to hear from you. Please complete this short 3-question survey to share your thoughts on how we can support our students and families.

The district requires that each family completes the "Aspen Returning Student Registration" via Aspen Family portal to update emergency contact information. Please review this video for instructions. If you have any questions or concerns, please email npsaspensupport@norwood.k12.ma.us or call the Main Office. Please note that Aspen is not available on mobile devices.

Please send a note or call the Main Office if your child will be absent or if his/her dismissal plan has changed (ex. picking up child earlier for an appointment, getting picked up instead of riding the bus, etc.). That way we can ensure that your child is going to the right place at dismissal time.
