News & Announcements

Parent Pick up will now be in the back of the building in the staff parking lot. Cars will enter via Tucker Avenue, turn left down the side street, and take a right into the parking lot. As cars line up, please be sure to pull to the right side, and allow space for vehicles to travel in the other direction.

Students must exit on the passenger side for safety. We have refined the process each day this week; students must only exit when a staff member is there to support- we will load/unload approximately 15 cars at a time.

Older siblings coming to VBES for pick up, must remain on a sidewalk path while entering the back parking lot. It is for their safety, please support this message.

Bus routes have been established. Please note that bus 6 has been eliminated. If your child was a car rider last year and you would like them to take the bus this year, please email Mrs. Proulx at PProulx@nmrsd.org and let her know. Also, please email Mrs. Proulx any special arrangements your child may have for after school transportation. Please contact Dee Bus at (978) 597- 2860 with any questions or concerns regarding bus routes or pick up times.

Each year, our district receives federal grant funding to provide additional support to students through Title I. We have prioritized this funding to support student needs at the elementary level. Our federal allocation is based on the percentage of students identified as low-income. Further, the amount of funding that needs to be allocated within each building is based on the percentage of low-income students in that building. To qualify for services, the building must have a low-income percentage higher than our district's low-income average. Based on the state’s calculations, Spaulding Memorial School does not meet the criteria to continue to receive Title I funding. To ensure parity of support between our three elementary schools, we have submitted a one-year waiver request, allowing us to continue supporting students in each building. Our focus this year will be on supporting students with early literacy skills.

In accordance with federal requirements, we are providing families with notice of this waiver. If you have any questions about the waiver, please contact Dr. Gary Burboa-Reese at gburboareese@nmrsd.org

The District will again conduct ALICE drills in all of our buildings this year in collaboration with our police and fire departments. Please remember that certain drills require students to leave campus to a “rally/reunification site.” As has been past practice, families and community members will not be notified in advance of these drills. Reassuring your son/daughter that these drills are practice and are in place to keep staff/students safe if we ever need to employ this response.
