Patrick C. Daly, Superintendent

  Dear North Reading Parents and Families,   Thank you all for your support during our first full week of school and for your patience as we worked out some of the kinks to the schedules and adjusted between cohorts. From the feedback I have received things seem to be going very well. A few items for your attention. 1. October 9, 2020 will be a full day of school. This was originally listed as a 1/2 day TBD and we have decided that with the later start to the year it is in the best interest of students and staff to have a full day on October 9th. Our full day Professional Development day for teachers on November 3rd will remain on the calendar as a no school day for students and we will continue to review the upcoming 1/2 days in the future. 2. Below you will find a list of additional school influenza clinics. Thank you to Mr. Bracey and our Town Health Department for making these arrangements. Please note that here are additional clinics listed for the com...

  Hello parents and families, As we prepare for our first cohorts of students to arrive tomorrow I want to thank all of you again for working so hard to prepare for this moment. We are all so fortunate to work in a supportive school community and I have said several times that we're all rowing in the same direction. This has allowed us to make the best and safest decisions, to remain upbeat, and to be well prepared for welcoming our students back to school. Tomorrow all students in cohorts B and C will be attending in person while A and D are in remote. Michael, Cynthia, Gina and I, along with central office staff, and Mr. Buckley and Mr. McGowan, will be honorary bus monitors tomorrow morning (and Monday). We can't wait! A few reminders and updates. *Please continue to complete the  daily health screener . This document has been an effective tool to help our nurses and administration communicate with those who have questions or concerns. This link can be accessed every d...

 Hello parents and families, I begin today by taking a moment to think of those we lost on September 11, 2001. The students entering our schools were almost all born after those tragic events took place but it is still so important that we teach them to never forget what happened that day.                                                    --------------------------------------------------------------- This week concludes our first full week back with our staff who engaged in professional development and collaboration. It was a very successful week for learning, sharing, and growing as a community. Last evening our Teachers and School Committee passed a Memorandum of Understanding and our buildings and Educators are prepared to begin receiving students next week. Your building Principals should have sent information to you about the visitation schedule f...

  Dear North Reading Public Schools Parents and Families, I hope that this email finds you well as you enjoy these last days of summer. This weekend looks to be another beautiful one and I hope that you are able to enjoy it with your friends and family. Most of my time will be spent finishing a skateboard ramp with Will, my eight year old who’s heading into a new school for third grade this fall. His big brother, Jack, is heading into fifth grade and the youngest, Oliver, is starting Kindergarten. And with the proposed hybrid schedule for the year in our district  my wife, Marisa, is now a teaching assistant at home!  Our staff is excited for the first day for students on September 17th. Our summer has flown by, marked by press conferences, DESE guidance, and a never ending series of meetings about reopening. I cannot thank our reopening committee enough for their work from June until mid-August when we submitted our plan. Comprised of dedicated parents, students, teacher...
