A morning initiative called D.E.A.R. TIME will start your child's day. During morning line up students will have the opportunity to read something of their own choice for fun. Taking time to read will expose students to the written word and develop their reading and writing skills. Parents can help empower their children by providing them with a book, newspaper, magazine etc. to get their morning started off right!
READERS ARE LEADERS!
Physicals

Dr. St. Louis will be at Northern Parkway on May 16th and May 23th to complete physicals on students in grades K, 2, 4, & 5 who are not in compliance with NYS Education Department guidelines. If your child has a completed physical by their primary care doctor and you have not yet submitted it to the health office, please do so as soon as possible.
