REQUIRED YEARLY FORMS
We extend our heartfelt thanks to the families who have completed the required yearly forms in PowerSchool. As of today, we have achieved an 80% completion rate! If you have not yet submitted these forms, we kindly ask that you do so at your earliest convenience. These forms are essential as they provide us with accurate emergency contact and updated medical information, enabling students to participate fully in all school events. Additionally, they help us honor family preferences regarding the use of photos and are necessary for student attendance on field trips. Let's work together to reach 100% completion by next week! If you encounter any challenges, please feel free to reach out for support at pssupport@natickps.org.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED FOR THE MORNING DROP-OFF LINE
Our morning drop-off line is made possible thanks to the wonderful support of our parent community. In October, we are seeking 4th-grade parents to assist students as they exit their cars and navigate to their designated areas. Live drop-off begins at 8:05 AM, and we ask volunteers to arrive between 8:00 AM and 8:20 AM. If you're interested in helping out, please sign up here!

ACTIVE KIDS/ACTIVE MINDS IS BACK
We are excited to announce the return of our before-school activity program, led by Adam Payne, a parent and Active Kids facilitator!
