Spring Portraits on Friday, Mar 22 and looking ahead

We're through week one of MEA testing and it appears to have gone smoothly.  Our students tend to work on the MEA's Tues-Thurs mornings, with a fresh air break or two. It's so helpful if your child comes to school on time, well rested and having had breakfast and looking forward to a healthy morning snack. 

Lifetouch will be here Friday, March 22 for a short time in the morning. This is for any students interested in spring portraits. You must have an order completed to have your child's picture taken. Spring photos are not mandatory from our point of view. Please remember to send your child with their order form if you want to have your child photographed. 

Be watching for Trimester 2 reports which are expected to go out on Friday, March 22th. 

Next week Mrs. Courand returns to Grade 4.  We are VERY thankful to Ms. Sperry for her diligent and professional attention to detail during Mrs. Courand's leave. 

Looking ahead at the last week of March (so soon!), grade 2 and 3 will have a FARMS unit, grade 4 repeats swimming and grade 5 begins DARE. The Battle of the Books team is reading/meeting during lunch. Archery Club continues with a 5-8 competition on Friday, March 29. (No archery on Tuesday because 5&6 and 7&8 have a combined time on the 29th.) Spring sports are starting up. NCS pitchers/catchers meet next week. See the NCS family calendar for dates/times. 

Happy Spring!

Reminder to Nobleboro Residents

Voting for town officials is held Friday, March 15 at Nobleboro Town Office.  The annual Town Meeting is Saturday, March 16 at NCS. The meeting begins at 10am.  

Enjoy the weekend!

March 11-13th

 It's a short week for students.   No school for students on Thursday 3/14 or Friday 3/15 (staff development days). 

Kieve after school activities wrapped up last week. Thanks to everyone who participated, and thank you to Noah and Nelson for organizing the activities and making the program a success again this year.  

Because of the short week, Archery Club has a change in their schedule.  Both 5&6 and 7&8 grade archery club will have one practice this week on Wednesday 3/13/19 (instead of their Tuesday/Friday times).  We'll return to the regular schedule next week.

Lifetouch is coming on March 22 for spring pictures. Spring pics are a little different from the ones in the fall.  Lifetouch will only take photos of students who have signed up. Order forms will go home this week.  You should be able to order online too.  The spring portraits are a little fancier than school photos. Signing up for this is totally optional to families. There is not a makeup date for the spring pictures. 

Trimester 2 ends this week.   T2 reports will be available a week from Friday, March 22.

Some 8th grade news:

Congratulations to Alden Hunold!  He will represent our school at the next level of the National Geographic Geography Bee on Friday, March 29. Alden was one of the classroom representatives at our school Geo Bee, next came a written test, and now he's been invited to the Maine State Geography Bee to be held later this month at University of Maine, Farmington.

Town meeting is Saturday. We appreciate the fact that our 8th grade students will be there to help welcome Nobleboro residents and observe the town meeting process.  

Enjoy the week!
