PRINCIPAL UPDATE
We have a busy week coming up with Kindergarten Visitation on Monday, a first grade field trip on Tuesday, our Spring Concert on Wednesday, and Field Day on Friday!
Kindergarten Visitation:
This will be held in the Cafeteria from 10:00 - 11:30am on Monday. If you have a Kindergarten student coming to Northeast in the fall, you should attend with your child. We will be providing parents with a lot of helpful information. New Kindergarten students will be taking a walk to see a Kindergarten classroom, meet the teachers, listen to a story, and do an activity while we are speaking with their adults.
Spring Concert:
Our Spring Concert will feature Grade 5 Chorus, Grades 3, 4, and 5 Orchestra, and Grades 4 and 5 Band. This will be held in the Gym at 9:30am on Wednesday. Please see the flyer: Spring Concert 2024
Field Day:
Field Day is on Friday! This is an all day event full of field activities for all students. We need many parent volunteers to help make this day a fun day for all students.

Grade 5 K9 Demonstration
Our Grade 5 Students had a special treat on Thursday when they attended a K9 Demonstration. They were able to meet Waltham K9 Officer Connarton and his K9, Hondo as well as Weston K9 Officer Rizzitello and his K9, Knox and Newton Police Officer Lau and Community Resource Dog, Leo. Our Grade 5 students learned all about the important work that K9 dogs participate in and how helpful they are to the police, and they were even able to pet Community Resource Dog, Leo! We are grateful to Officer Piantedosi for this opportunity.
