Attendance Letter
If your child has 10 or more unexcused absences this school year, you will be receiving a letter from my office. This is a DESE requirement and I want to assure you that receiving this letter is not punitive in any way. I invite open communication from families to myself, your child’s classroom teacher and our school social worker if you have any issues around attendance. We are here to help and our #1 goal is to have your child come to school every day. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out.
Clipper Courses
If you registered for a Clipper Course for our upcoming session, you should have received a confirmation email from Allie Byrnes this morning. Courses start next Monday, April 1st. If your child is attending a Clipper Course please update their dismissal plans in SDM as soon as possible.
Lost and Found
We will be cleaning out the lost and found on Friday. Please stop by the Main Office if your child is missing an item. After Friday, all remaining items will be donated. Thank you!
NBPT Student Artwork
Come out to see student artwork on display in the NBPT Public Schools Youth Art Exhibit hosted at the Senior Community Center. The show features student work from kindergarten to 12th grade and is on display until April 4th.
