The last day for the FREE grab-and-go breakfast program at Nixon School will be the last day of school, Thursday, June 16, 2022. Please know that while the grab-and-go breakfast program will be in effect next year, there will be a charge. More information regarding this will be forthcoming in my August newsletter.

Thank you to Ms. Anthony for her leadership in conducting the concert and to all of our guests who attended the 4th Grade Concert! We hope everyone enjoyed the performance. It is greatly appreciated that everyone was so cooperative in following the procedures that were outlined! Also, thank you to our PTA for hosting the PTA Ice Cream Social after the concert.

Today Nixon School students and staff participated in our monthly Fire Drill exercise. Everyone evacuated the building smoothly and we were able to return to our daily routines in a timely manner.

As our fourth graders' time at Nixon School comes to an end, we want to be sure to give them a proper send off. As a result, on Thursday, June 16, 2021 at 1:20 PM, we will host a Fourth Grade Clap Out. Following is information that will help the day to run smoothly. Any updates to this information will be emailed prior to Thursday.

Guests are encouraged to carpool, as parking will be challenging. No one will be permitted to park in the driveway of Nixon School, as this is where guests will gather to clap out our fourth graders. Please stand in the driveway, as the fourth graders will use the sidewalk. K-3 students will be located on the other sides of the building.

After our fourth graders are clapped out, the staff will have the fourth graders gather on the side of the building. There will be a series of cones set up... families should not go beyond these cones. Rather one member of the family can come to the cones and stand in a line by the respective teacher's name. The teachers will pair their individual students with the family members and keep record of these pairings.

All families are asked to please clear the front/side of the building no later than 1:35 so that we can prepare for dismissal.

If you have a younger child at Nixon School who you want to stand with you for clap out, you must come to the security vestibule between 1 and 1:20 to sign your younger child out. By signing your younger child out, please know that your child will not be able to re-enter the building after clap out, as we will be preparing for school wide dismissal.

Thank you in advance for helping to make clap out memorable for our fourth graders and for helping to ensure a smooth dismissal for our student body.

If you notice something in the picture that is your child's or you know that your child has something missing, please be sure to ask your child to check out the Lost & Found table on Monday or Tuesday next week. Any items remaining on Wednesday will be donated to Roxbury Social Services. Thank you!

Every August, our district hosts a new teacher orientation. This year as a way to kick-off the series of training days, the district is looking to have students from each of the schools share with the new hirees "what it means to live and go to school in Roxbury?". For Nixon School, we are being asked to have TWO students share their thoughts to this question, in person at Eisenhower Middle School on Monday, August 22, 2022 at 8:30 - 8:45 AM. If your child would like to be a part of this presentation, please complete this Google Form and submit by Friday, June 10, 2022. Two students will be randomly selected to a participate in this experience. Thank you!

Fill Out our Bucket Filler Nomination Form and we will recognize that individual (student or staff member) during Morning Announcements. Click the button below for the nomination form.
