At this time of year it is always my pleasure to welcome our students and staff back to our buildings and to share exciting ways for our community can become even more involved with our schools.
Stay Connected
This year we have refreshed our district website: https://www.north-reading.k12.ma.us to make it more accessible and interactive. This is a great place to learn more about upcoming events, see photos and stories of student success, and to follow communications from the schools and central office.
Our Community Bulletin Board is where you’ll find updates on important events and registrations in the community: https://www.north-reading.k12.ma.us/cbb and you can subscribe to receive email update notifications from this page by clicking on the bell in the upper right hand corner.
There is also a page for the North Reading School Committee with information and links to upcoming meetings, recordings of recent meetings, agendas, and minutes. The School Committee can be followed across social media platforms @NRPSSC.
On social media we are also active on X, and following the Superintendent's account @nrschools is a great way to stay up to date. You should also follow the Assistant Superintendent for Finance and Operations @nrpsfinance; the Assistant Superintendent of Teaching and Learning @NRPSlearning; and our Director of Athletics and Student Activities @NRHSHornets.
Join the PreK-12 Action Team
As a part of the Town of North Reading’s Community Impact Team the North Reading Public Schools invites families and community members to engage with us on our PreK-12 Action Team. We meet four times a year as a large group to hear updates from the sub-groups, which for the 2025-26 school year include: Equity and Belonging; Health and Wellness; Recess and Outdoor Time; and Social Media and Cell Phone Use.

Opportunities for Community Learning through Family University
We are committed to provide an ongoing series of interactive workshops, webinars, and learning opportunities through the North Reading Family University. Our first offering, a welcome event for new families, was held in August and was well attended both in-person and online.
In the past we have offered Family University workshops on a variety of topics and we plan to continue these programs this year so please stay tuned for more updates by visiting our website: https://shorturl.at/r4d8T.
