K-12 Action Team and Delay Procedures Updates

K-12 Action Team

Please save the date of September 25, 2024 at 6:30 p.m. in the Distance Learning Lab at the middle/high school for our first K-12 Action Team meeting. If you are interesting in attending or learning more please complete this brief online form.

This first meeting will be an opportunity for everyone to learn more about the ideas for our school and community based-teams to engage in action-oriented conversations around the following topics:

• Health and Wellness 

• Outdoor Time and Recess

• Cell Phones, Social Media, and Mental Health

• Bullying Prevention and Intervention

• Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging

This first meeting is open to anyone interested in learning more and from here we will form our subgroups for the year. We will have three additional K-12 Action Team meetings throughout the year to receive updates from all of our subgroups (12/4 at 3:30 p.m., 3/12 at 3:30 p.m., and 5/28 at 6 p.m.).

Did you know? 

Outdoor recess times at all three elementary schools is now at 20 minutes and our School Committee and many active parents and community members have goals for increasing outdoor time at all five schools!

The Surgeon General has released an advisory about the effect of social media on mental health? What can we do about the impact on our children? 

We held a community forum in June to discuss topics related to Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging and bring forward additional opportunities this school year for students, staff, and the entire community!

This is a great opportunity for the entire community to become involved in the work of our schools under the umbrella of the Town of North Reading’s Community Impact Team. I hope to see you on the 25th!

Changes to our Morning Delay Procedures

On this beautiful day it’s hard to imagine a morning of inclement weather but I wanted to inform everyone that the School Committee supported a recommendation to update our morning delay to now be a 2 hour delay. More information and the complete schedule is available on our website here. 

Thank you and have a wonderful weekend!
