Trimester 2 Report Cards will be made available to all parents through email and the PowerSchool Parental Portal on Tuesday, March 25th. The district delayed the previous release date of Friday, March 20th due to a technology glitch. We encourage each family to spend time reflecting with their child on their report card to discuss achievements, areas for growth, and to set goals. Linked below is a useful guide to discussing report cards with your child. If you should encounter any difficulties accessing your child's report card, please contact their teacher or the North Street office.

Please see the letter below detailing our MCAS testing schedule for the spring of 2025. All students in grades 3-6 will participate in MCAS testing. Additionally, you can access the Department of Education's MCAS informational website for student exemplars, past questions, and more.
