Week of March 8, 2026

Did you remember to spring forward? Tomorrow morning could be tough for students (as well as parents and teachers) to get up! Be sure students get to bed at a reasonable hour tonight!


The trimester has ended, conferences are at the end of the week, and report cards will be published on Skyward by the end of the day on March 16. Bring on the last trimester of the 2025-26 school year!


We should be able to get outside for recess every day this week - please remind students sneakers are best for recess and required for PE.


Kindergarten Registration is open - please spread the word to neighbors and friends who may have a kindergarten student ready to start school this September! If you have younger children who are ready to join us for Kindergarten, please register them so we can begin planning! More information is below.


Attention All 5th Grade parents - A Message from Northley:

We’re looking forward to March 26 and our 5th Grade Parent Night. If you’ve got a 5th grader, come spend the evening with us. You’ll meet member of the Northley team, hear what middle school is really like, and get a feel for what next year will look like. It’s a big transition, but it’s an exciting one.Take a look at the flyer for the details. We’d love to see you there.

Technology Tip

Parent Tech Tip from our Technology Teacher, Ms. Cameron


Conference Week Tech Tip

Parent conferences are a great time to align home and school expectations for technology use. When children hear consistent messages from adults, they are more likely to follow them. Open conversations about screen time, online behavior, and learning tools help everyone stay on the same page.


Action step: 

If you have a technology question, consider emailing it ahead of time or after conferences. That way, conference time can stay focused on your child’s progress while still keeping communication open.
