NB Final 2026 Update

• Clapout Procedures: Each year we clap out our fifth graders before the final dismissal on 6/18. Students will line the hallways and clap as the fifth graders take their final walk through the building. Full-day preschool students will be dismissed at 11:50am from their usual doors. Fifth grade parents should line up on either side of the blacktop on the side of the building by the basketball court. All other K-5 students will be in the building, clapping out the fifth graders. Fifth grade students will come out the door by the blacktop from 12:30-12:40pm. Following the release of the fifth graders, all other students will exit through their usual dismissal doors.
• Supply kit orders are due by this Friday 6/19.
• Summer work information is linked below.
• Please take note of the unusual dates for the first two weeks of school during the 26-27 school year, as students start before Labor Day.
• Have a fabulous summer!

To keep your child's skills up this summer, take a look at the district website for summer work. There are activities that encourage reading, and math reviews for students to maintain their math skills.

Please make sure that your child is wearing a helmet if they are using a bike or scooter, both to keep them safe and to comply with the law. Once students are on school grounds, they should walk their bikes or scooters so that they don't ride into students walking into school.

Summer plans and international travel? Unvaccinated? Measles is highly contagious. Did you know that 9 out of 10 people exposed to measles virus will catch it? The American Academy of Pediatrics is a great resource for health education:

As I retire, I would like to thank the staff, students and families over the years for the support I have received. North Boulevard is truly a family community where kindness, and caring prevail. It has been an honor to care for, support and watch each of the students grow throughout the years. I believed in teaching our children to help themselves through learning first aide skills and mindfulness coping strategies as life skills. I hope that all the children remember to take care physically and emotionally. Thank you for allowing me to be part of their lives.

Wishing happiness, good health and success in every journey ahead.

With appreciation,

Lorraine

For your planning purposes, please note that elementary Back to School Nights will be held on Thursday, 9/10.

Please take a moment to watch this district promotional video that was put together by some of our high school students. They have been planning this project since last spring and the final video is impressive, and has some familiar faces!
