Principal's Update
Student Government Mac & Cheese Drive
Student government is spearheading the “I Heart Mac n’ Cheese/Pasta” drive for local food charities from now until April 17th. Please send in any mac n’ cheese and pasta items with your child/children, or donations may be dropped off in the main lobby or library. We are attempting to collect the height (in boxes) of as many students as possible by April 17th to demonstrate to students the power of coming together as a community for a selfless cause. Thank you for your continued support in the quest to eliminate food insecurity in our communities.
Winter Screener Results
Your child’s winter universal screening results are available in the Aspen portal. Please refer to the email on Friday if you need help locating your child's results in Aspen. These results are used along with other classroom data to determine if students will receive extra support in the targeted areas.
Kindergarten Registration
Norwell Public Schools is now conducting kindergarten registration for both Cole and Vinal Schools. Any child who will be five years of age before September 1, 2025 is eligible to be enrolled in kindergarten.
