Beginning Monday, November 3rd, all dismissal changes must be entered into PickUp Patrol by 12:00 PM. This earlier deadline will give teachers additional time to plan ahead. Students are often dismissed during lessons or specials, and having this information in advance helps minimize classroom disruptions. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Emergencies Only
** We kindly remind families to request dismissal changes only for emergencies. While we understand that last-minute doctor’s appointments or unexpected situations can arise, keeping a consistent dismissal routine helps both students and teachers have a smoother, more focused day. **

The Pick-A-Time scheduling program will open on Wednesday, October 22nd at 7:00 PM and close on Tuesday, November 4th at 7:00 PM. After the program closes, no additional conferences can be scheduled to allow teachers and staff time to prepare.

A letter with additional details regarding Fall Conferences will be sent out shortly.

For fall conferences, we will be using the online program “Pick-a-Time” to schedule appointments.

• If you have previously registered for conferences in the district, simply log in using the e-mail and password you used before.

• If you are new to the system, you will need to register first.
  
  

To register:

1. Enter your e-mail address and click “Login/Create Account.” If you do not have an e-mail address, you may use the format: first initial + last name @fakemail.com.
   
   

2. Complete the required fields to register.
   
   

3. For each child, enter their student ID, which is their full first name (not a nickname), a space, and their last name. Then enter their security value, which is their birthdate in m/d/yyyy format (for example: 5/3/2010, not mm/dd/yyyy). Click “Add” to include each child.
   
   

When scheduling appointments:

A. Each colored square represents an available meeting time. The legend shows which teacher corresponds to each color. You will see only the teachers your children have classes with. Click on a square to book your preferred time. Your priority should be your child’s classroom teacher.

B. Choose when you want the reminder e-mail to be sent, then click “Create Appointment.”

C. You can click “Printable Schedule” at any time to print a hard copy of your schedule.

Picture Retake Day has been scheduled for Monday, November 17th. Any family wishing to have their student participate in Retake Day, please sign up on the Google Form below.

For any photograph order questions, please contact CoffeePond's Customer Service Team directly by EMAIL at lifeguards@coffeepond.com or by calling them at (508) 907-6633 ext. 0

*Note* Class pictures will be distributed to all students once the Retake Picture Packets are received.

We’re looking for one or two parent volunteers to assist students during Picture Retake Day in the Auditorium. Volunteers will help students line up, ensure they have any picture packets to return to CoffeePond, and provide general support as teachers will not be accompanying their classes. Picture retakes begin around 9:00 AM and typically wrap up by 11:30 AM. Please email jfrommer@nrsd.net if you are interested in volunteering.
