North Pembroke Elementary School

Dear NPES Families,

As we enter the final stretch of the school year, there's a great deal to celebrate here at North Pembroke Elementary.

This past week has been filled with excitement and learning. Our fourth-grade students impressed us with their National Parks presentations, showcasing their research and creativity. In fifth grade, students shared their incredible multi-genre projects, demonstrating both depth and originality across a variety of topics.

Our preschoolers had a blast during their field day, enjoying outdoor fun and games, and today, members of our sixth-grade band had the opportunity to perform at Faneuil Hall, a special trip they will surely remember.

In addition to all of these daytime events, our band, orchestra, and chorus also gave wonderful evening performances at Pembroke High School this week. We are so proud of their hard work and talent.

Looking ahead, we are excited to be hosting our K through 6 Field Day on Monday. A huge thank you to all of our parent volunteers. We are at full capacity and so grateful for your support in making this event possible.

Wishing all of our families a wonderful weekend.

IMPORTANT DATES:

6/9- NPES Field Day (Rain Date 6/10)

6/9 - 5th grade Derby Street performance

6/12- Promotion Night for 6th grade students. The event will begin at 5:30 PM.

6/13- Last day of school

As part of our ongoing efforts to evaluate and improve special education in our district, we are inviting parents and caregivers of students who currently receive special education to complete a short survey about their experiences this school year.

The purpose of this survey is to gather feedback that will inform our practices and help us strengthen support for students with disabilities. If you have more than one child in special education, please fill out a separate survey for each child. Please click on the link provided to complete this survey.
