Good Afternoon Norton
Elementary Families
Students who missed their
chicken burgers on the storm day, Feb. 16 were supposed to receive them
today. Due to a mix up, they did not
come and will be delivered next Monday, March 27.
As always, each classroom has
healthy snacks on hand in the event that a student does not have a lunch. NESPA also provided vegetable trays for the
classes today as part of Nutrition Month.
We apologize for the
inconvenience.

Good Afternoon Norton
Elementary Families,
We have a few reminders
before the Christmas break.
Our Christmas Program will be
held on Wednesday, December 21. The
first show is at 10:00 a.m. with a repeat performance at 12:00. The storm date is Thursday, December 22 at
the same times. We want to remind
everyone that all schools are scent free.
If you plan to take your
child home with you after the last show, please send a note to your child’s
teacher.
Also, please take a moment to
check the lost and found if you are missing some of your child’s
belongings. The box is quite full.
January Hot Lunch orders are
due on Wednesday, December 21.
On Thursday, December 22, we
are planning a school wide pajama day.
Friday, December 23 with be a
half-day. Students will be dismissed at
11:00 a.m.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
December 2, 2016
Due to the cancellation of
school on Wednesday, the soup that was ordered for that day will be delivered
on Monday, December 5.
We also would like to remind
parents that students need mitts, hats and snow pants as we are now into the
snowy, wet weather. Extra socks at
school are always a good idea so little ones do not have wet feet should they
get water or snow in their boots.

Good Afternoon from Norton Elementary School,
Welcome back to all our returning students and parents as well as those new to our school. We are looking forward to seeing everyone next week.
The first day of school for students in grades 1 – 5 will be Tuesday, September 6.
Kindergarten students will start school on either Tuesday, September 6, or Wednesday, September 7. This information was included in the letters sent at the end of June. If you did not receive your letter, please call the school at 839-3000 for your child’s staggered entry date.
Please ensure that you send a note with your child’s after school arrangements on the first day.
Students do not need to bring all their school supplies on the first day. Just send what is comfortable for your child to carry.
Anglophone South School District is in the process of converting to a new student database program. A new Data Collection Form with your child’s personal information will be sent home the first day of school. We ask that you correct or fill in any missing information and return the sheet the next day.
Busing should be the same as last year, so if your child is travelling on the bus, we ask that you be at the stop a few minutes before the usual pick up time. If your child is a new bus student, you can contact the school for information on the bus number and approximate time for pick up.
The parking lot will be busier than usual the first week of school so we are asking that you exercise extra caution when entering and exiting. Please watch for little ones who may be exiting vehicles and remain stopped if you are in the yard when buses are unloading.
Thank you for your assistance and patience during this first week of school.
Thank you from the staff of Norton Elementary School
