FROM THE PRINCIPAL...
This week is Kindness Week at Northeast! We look forward to spreading kindness throughout the school all week! Please see below for our planned activities for Kindness Week.
Valentine's Day is on Friday, February 14th! This is always an exciting day in elementary school.
If your child is planning to bring in Valentine's, we ask two things:
1. Please send in a Valentine for every child in the class.
2. Do not send in candy or food.
Also - please do not feel obligated to send in Valentine's. It is not required! However, if you want to, that is great. Homemade Valentine's are also always a great idea!
Waltham Public Schools is conducting an audit to help develop a more comprehensive understanding of how our community is impacted by district practices, behaviors, and policies. An important part of this process includes your feedback. We are asking students (in grades 6-12), families, staff, and community organizations to complete a confidential and anonymous survey. This survey is offered in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and Haitian Creole. The survey includes questions on a variety of topics, including instruction, resources, and community engagement. We estimate that it will take about 15-20 minutes to complete. If you have already participated in a focus group related to this audit in the last month – please disregard this email. The survey is designed to capture the voices of those who did not provide their input in a focus group. Your voice matters, so please take the time to complete the survey, which is linked below, by February 18. We ask that you do not forward this email or survey link to anyone outside of the Waltham Public Schools community. Here is the survey link:
