Getting Ready for the Big Day

Everyone here at Newbury Elementary School is working hard to get ready for a wonderful year.  We look forward to seeing all of the students very soon!  

Going back to school can be an exciting time for kids, but sometimes they can become anxious.  The following links may be helpful as you prepare your child for the big day.

See you next week!

Summer Reading and Exercise

One of the best ways to keep our minds sharp and ready for the next school year is to keep reading.  I hope that all Newbury Elementary students are enjoying some wonderful books this summer.  Whether it is an independent read, a book read with a parent or family member, or even a book group, it is very important to explore different books and stories to expand our thinking.  I always love to hear about what books students are reading, so I will be asking about their favorite books as I learn more about each student.

It is also important to keep moving in the summertime.  I know it has been hot, but students need to get outside and move around.  Healthy bodies feed healthy minds, so keep moving and I look forward to hearing all about your students' summer adventures.

Welcome!

I am very excited to join the Newbury Elementary School community as the new assistant principal.  I look forward to working with all of you to promote the mission of learning.  I will use this blog throughout the school year to provide updates of what is happening within the school.
