Hello Eagle Families!

May is here and we are arriving at the end of the 24-25 school year. The 2nd semester really flew by!

I want to extend my thanks to all our parents and the continued support they show our students and school staff.

Thank you to our Norwich Booster Club and Home and School Club for all the special things they plan for our students and staff throughout the year.

Thank you to the community for continuing to show up at school events for our students.

Norwich is such a special place to be because of YOU!!

Now, let's FINISH STRONG!

Seniors parents this year has been full of finalities for you and your senior. You have made it to the final week! Don't let up now! We will be celebrating our seniors throughout the week and can't wait to watch them walk across the stage on Saturday!

Prek-11th grade parents we are in the final stretch and it gets exhausting! Stay strong and help your student persevere through the final projects, exams and performances. Make sure they are getting enough sleep and are able to reach the personal goals they set for themselves this school year.

I am so proud of each and every student for what they have accomplished this year. The growth and personal development they have made has been incredible to watch and be a part of.

As I sign off on my final newsletter of my career I want to thank you all for welcoming me to Norwich 32 years ago. I had no idea how this little community and school would impact and change my life for the better. Your children warm my heart each morning when they walk through the door.

Thank you for sharing them with me! I will always carry a piece of them with me!

I will always consider myself a Norwich Eagle at heart!

Is your child sick or plans have changed during the day? If you need to contact the school office for any reason by email, please use our new email address norwichoffice@knusd331.com. This will help us get messages to your child when there are substitutes in the office for the day.

We are so grateful to the South Central Community Foundation and the Kingman-Norwich Innovative Learning Grant 2024–2025 for funding our Academic Language Therapy Training!

A portion of this grant supported Year 2 of Take Flight training for Mrs. Schroeder. Take Flight is a comprehensive intervention program specifically designed for students ages 7 and older who have dyslexia or related language-based learning differences.

In addition, the grant provided BUILD training and materials for Mrs. Schroeder, Mrs. Buchanan, and Mrs. Walter. BUILD is tailored for kindergarten and first-grade students, focusing on early literacy development through structured, multisensory methods.

This grant represents a meaningful investment in our educators and a continued commitment to meeting the needs of every learner. We are deeply thankful for the opportunity to strengthen our literacy programs and provide targeted support that will make a lasting difference in the lives of our Eagle students.

Anyone who is available and interested in assisting at any of our track meets should contact Coach Foley by e-mail at rfoley@knusd331.com, Mr. Wilmott at mwilmott@knusd331.com, or by phone 620-478-2235.

Out of respect, we ask everyone in attendance to show appropriate conduct during the ceremony. Any behavior that could cause distraction to the ceremony are not permitted.
