FROM THE PRINCIPAL...

Good Afternoon!

We hope to see you all at Trunk or Treat tonight! There is a sensory friendly experience from 5:00-5:30pm and then general admission is from 5:30-7:00pm. The weather is perfect and it is going to be a great event!

Northeast's Trunk or Treat

Tronco o Golosin a Del Northeast.

Our Inclusive Playground Committee presented to the School Committee on Wednesday evening. We were given the green light to move forward with our plans to build an Inclusive Playground at Northeast! Our next steps involve deciding what features we would like the playground design to include. Here is where we would like your input. Stay tuned for a survey.

Tomorrow, Saturday, October 26 is WHS Homecoming Parade and Football Game. We had a group of football players and cheerleaders who are former Northeast friends visit us today! They played with students at recess. Our students thought the high school students were celebrities and were asking for autographs! They all had a great time together! Hopefully some of you are able to cheer them on at their Homecoming Game tomorrow! GO HAWKS!! Check out the picture below ❤️

On Sunday, October 27 there is a Fall Fair at First Parish Waltham. 12:00-3:00pm. Carnival De Otono

Monday, October 28 - I Like to Move It will be from 3:00-4:30pm in the Gym for those registered through Park & Rec.

Thursday, October 31 is Halloween. NO COSTUMES and NO CANDY are allowed in school! We will continue our School Spirit Thursdays with One Color Day - ORANGE. Wear ORANGE on Halloween! It is also Socktober - so wear your crazy or mismatched socks too!

In the days following Halloween, please remember that candy is not allowed in school and students should not be bringing candy in for snack. Thank you for your cooperation with this!

Have a great weekend!
