I hope you were able to relax and enjoy spending time with family and friends during the vacation week. We are looking forward to seeing all students back in school tomorrow, Monday, February 24th! We had a wonderful week before the break celebrating Kindness Week at Northeast! We will continue to promote and celebrate acts of kindness moving forward.

Northeast BINGO Noche.

Every year, each public school and school district in Massachusetts receives a report card. Just as your child’s report card shows how they are doing in different subjects, the school’s report card is designed to show families how our school is doing in different areas. We are very proud of the work we are doing at Northeast. We are also looking forward to continuing to grow and make progress. Here is Northeast's report card:

Nurse Lynda would like to remind families that we are in the height of Flu Season and we are seeing a high volume of Strep Throat, Stomach Bug and Flu. The best way to avoid the spread of infection is keeping children home when they are not feeling well. This, in addition to frequent hand washing is a great way to keep all of our students healthy and ready to learn! Thank you!
