CLASS PLACEMENTS
Class placements will be sent through ParentSquare on August 13th at 3:00pm. Everyone will receive this notification of their teacher for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year. Please contact Mrs. Ferrante (kferrante@nsboro.k12.ma.us) if you did not receive a message information.

IMPORTANT LINKS ON THE PEASLEE WEBSITE
Our school webpage offers a variety of resources and links. We hope that these links will be helpful for you and your child as you return to school at the end of the month. The links include school supply lists, a monthly lunch calendar, and school hours. Additional resources will be added throughout the year. Be sure to take a look!

NOTES FROM THE NURSE
Medications, doctor's orders, or health action plans can be dropped off to Mrs. Perkins, the school nurse, from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM on August 27, 2025. If this is not convenient for you, please email our school nurse, Mrs. Perkins (lperkins@nsboro.k12.ma.us), to schedule another time.

Students starting Kindergarten and new Fourth Graders are required to have physicals to begin school on August 28th. You may drop off a copy or email Mrs. Perkins (lperkins@nsboro.k12.ma.us).

ARRIVAL AND DISMISSAL
We want to eliminate any confusion about arrival and dismissal, especially during the first days of school. We ask that you provide a written plan to your child's teacher and Mrs. Carbone, jcarbone@nsboro.k12.ma.us, prior to the first day of school. 

The information required should include how your student will arrive and return home each day, including bus numbers. The note or email should include your dismissal plan during the first days of school. If we do not receive your plan, we will send your child home on the bus. If you plan to pick up your child, let us know the person the name of the person who will pick them up.

An additional note will be needed if this plan changes for any reason throughout the year.  If you plan to have someone other than noted pick up your child, please include the name of the person who will be picking them up. All changes to dismissal and arrival should be emailed to both your child's teacher and Mrs. Carbone before 1:00 pm. If there is a late change that needs to be made to your child's dismissal please call the office. We cannot guarantee that teachers will be able to get to their email late in the day. 

BUS RIDERS
The District usually sends Bus Assignment Letters on in mid to late August, through ParentSquare. This information included letters to families via ParentSquare that contained your child's bus number, bus stop location, and tentative pick-up and drop-off times. Plan to be at your bus stop 10 minutes early each day and plan for the buses to potentially be late until the drivers iron out the kinks during the first weeks of school. 

When your child arrives in the morning, they will exit the buses and go directly to recess on the playground until 8:55 AM. Students will line up by class and enter the building to their classrooms with their homeroom teacher. On days when the weather is wet or extremely cold, students will enter the school immediately upon arrival. In the afternoon, students line up outside on the blacktop until the bus arrives. Staff will assist students in boarding the school bus each day.

PARENT DROP OFF 8:35-8:55 AM
It is crucial that the line moves efficiently during this peak time to achieve our goal of getting our students to school safely. Families entering the school zone during this time should line up and enter from Maple Street. It is important that all drivers follow the procedure, which includes not making a left turn into the Peaslee School driveway during arrival. Be mindful of the buses dropping off students, stay alert in the driveway, and always remain in the parent pick up line. Do not pass the driver in front of you. 

Drop off begins at 8:35 AM. Once staff are on duty, students can exit their cars. Parents can drop off their child when they are near the sidewalk at the front of the school. Students should enter the school using the front door and proceed through the school to the playground or their classrooms. Parents are asked to prepare their student to exit the car quickly so the line can move efficiently. Staff will be on-site to assist our younger students in exiting the cars. 

Staff and student helpers will be in the lobby to greet students on the first day of school and assist them in getting to the playground or their teachers' classrooms.

PARENT PICK UP  3:25 PM
Families entering the school zone during dismissal should line up and enter from Maple Street. It is important that all drivers follow the procedure, which includes not making a left turn into the Peaslee School driveway during dismissal. Parents can pick up their students from their car in the driveway at the front of Peaslee School beginning at 3:25 PM. We ask that you have your child's name displayed on your dash. Staff will radio the names of students who are in line inside, starting with the cars at the front. We ask families to create a paper sign with their child's name and place it on the car dashboard to help staff quickly identify vehicles. Drivers should not exit their cars. Staff will be on-site to assist our younger students in getting into the cars. It is important that all drivers follow the procedure.
