Midpoint of Trimester #1

Hard to believe, but we are at the midpoint of Trimester #1. This is a great opportunity to check with your child on their progress and review grades in Powerschool. The Trimester will close on Tuesday, December 02.
 

Assistance with Absences and Tardies

A reminder to all families, if your child will be absent or tardy to school, please send an email to our main office at JWoffice@npsct.org or call our main office at 860-667-5888 to report the absence or tardy.

We have had several parents ParentSquare or email the classroom teachers. While the heads up is appreciated, our staff members are teaching and not always able to get the message in a timely fashion. We would appreciate your assistance in ensuring the main office is always notified of any absences or tardies. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
