Happy Spring PHE Families:
This weather is fantastic and is allowing our students to enjoy their time together outside. Fifth grade had a wonderful overnight excursion to Balarat, and 2nd grade did an amazing job at their "Where the Wild Things are" performances this week. Kudos!
Class Placements - In May, our teachers will begin the thoughtful process of placing students into classes for next school year. This is done with extreme care and intention. We take a lot of factors into consideration to ensure the most appropriate placements for all students. We appreciate your trust in this matter. We plan to email placements out in early-mid June as in past years.
Enjoy the weekend!

RSVP to Healthy Cell Phone Adoption Town Hall Tuesday, April 15th, 5:30-6:30. Northfield HS Cafeteria: Our school has been collaborating with several other elementary and middle schools in the area, and we are excited for a joint community town hall on the subject of healthy cell phone adoption. Whether families simply wait to get a smartphone for their child until much later in middle school or explore 'teen-safe smartphones' that only have texting and basic apps, there are real options available. We expect medical experts, educators and parents to speak. RSVP here. Here’s a video about our project.
