Subject: Happy New Year and Important Updates for 2025

Dear Norwood Families,
 
Happy New Year! As we wrap up the first semester, I want to take a moment to express my gratitude for your support and partnership in your child's education. We have celebrated many academic achievements, and I am excited about the upcoming events for the second semester, especially in Quarter 3.
 
This is a pivotal time for our 8th graders as they prepare to choose their high school, while our 7th graders will be getting ready for 8th grade. Additionally, we will be conducting SBAC state testing, benchmark assessments, and iReady reading evaluations to assess student performance at their grade levels.
 
Please remember that we continue to enforce our “Away for the Day” cell phone and technology policy. All students attended a policy refresher workshop with Administration.  It’s important for students to follow the Noble way, as this ensures their access to enjoyable field trips, school activities, sports participation, and end-of-the-year events like promotion.
 
We are looking forward to a great mid-year push! Norwood remains committed to working with our community to support our students both emotionally and academically.
 
Thank you again for your continued support.
 
Best regards,
Dr. Kiwan
