News & Announcements

NMRHS Performing Arts Center Stage

When: Monday, November 18th @ 6:00 pm
Where: NMRHS Performing Arts Center

As you are aware, the state funding formula for regional school districts continues to underserve our students and put undue stress on the taxpayers of our member towns.

School and town officials are working under the premise that for a community to be desirable, it needs both a strong public school system and strong town services. Both require proper funding.

The purpose of this forum is to inform the public of the current state and federal mandates that cause annual increases to our operating budget, even with declining enrollment. In addition, the challenges that the towns face will be shared.

Please join the NMRSD central office and town leadership as we begin to plan how to advocate properly for our youth, staff, and taxpayers.

As our state and federal governments continue to find ways to fund other initiatives, we all have to prioritize that NM and the towns it serves are properly supported.

I would like to inform you of an enrichment opportunity for your child(ren) here at Ashby Elementary School. Unlike our other enrichment classes this one will run in the mornings from 8:00 to 8:45. This is a 12-week program being offered to our 3rd and 4th grade students beginning on Thursday, January 9th with the final class taking place Thursday, April 3rd. We will meet most Thursdays for those 12 weeks (please see attached chart for specific dates). The program will be offered through Reebok’s “BOKS Program” (Building Our Kids Success).

“The BOKS Program” is currently offered in over 10,000 elementary and middle schools across the United States and Canada. The program’s main purpose is to help prepare students’ brains and bodies for a day of learning. Additionally, the program allows for students to increase their level of weekly physical activity by 45 minutes per week. The two focuses of the program will be physical activity and then towards the end of the 45 minute period, a discussion about nutrition.

If interested in signing up your child(ren) please fill out the attached form and turn it in to the AES main office by Thursday, December 12th. This program will operate on a first come, first serve basis and has a limit of 30 students. The program has a cost of $60.00 per student and requires a parent or guardian to transport the child to the school at 8:00am. If your child(ren) is/are one of the first 30 forms we receive, we will contact you and provide you with a registration form and require a $60.00 fee.

***PLEASE NOTE: If we do not have at least 20 confirmed sign-ups by Thursday, December 12th then the program will be canceled and all money will be fully refunded.***

Please feel free to send me any questions that you might have regarding the BOKS program. You might also want to take a look at the BOKS website for information regarding who they are and what they do (https://www.bokskids.org/).

Thank you for your continued support,

Report Card Update for K-4 FY25

North Middlesex will introduce an updated report card for students in grades K-4 this year. A committee of teachers, along with the Curriculum Office, worked throughout last year to update our standards-based report card to be more reflective of the math and ELA curricula being used in the district. The hope is that it is a clearer and more concise way for caregivers and families to know how their students demonstrate their learning. A quick presentation can be found here, and if you have any further questions, please contact Kevin Cormier at kcormier@nmrsd.org

Bus Safety

🚨Do Not Pass a Bus in the parking lot if the lights are blinking and/or the stop sign is extended.

🚨If a school bus or a school pupil transport vehicle has its red lights flashing and a stop sign extended, you must come to a complete stop. It is the law.

🚨Parents, please remind your students that the bus expectation is to remain seated with their hands to themselves.

🚨Parent pick-up reminder - the inner circle is for kindergarten parents, as they sometimes hold up the line as they need assistance buckling in their car seats.

🚨Also, please remember that changes to students' dismissal procedures should be sent with your child to school. If you need to remember to send a note and email the school, make sure it arrives before 2 pm. If a note was not sent into the school, the email must include your child's homeroom teacher, secretary, and principal.
