A Vibrant Student Centered Learning Community

Dear Peaslee Families and Caregivers,

I am extending Mr. Martineau, Northborough Superintendent's invitation to attend the Peaslee Elementary School Community Forum. This forum is an opportunity to learn about the project, hear about the work underway with the Massachusetts School Building Authority (MSBA), and share your questions, ideas, and feedback.  For more information about the project and future meetings of the Peaslee Elementary School Building Committee, please visit: northboroughma.gov/peaslee-school-building-committee

Your questions or comments may be shared at: peasleeproject@town.northborough.ma.us as well.


Parent-Teacher Conferences will also take place on Thursday. We hope you’ll stop by the community forum while you are in the building, even if you need to step out briefly for your scheduled conference(s). These conferences are an important opportunity for us to come together as a school community and focus on the growth and success of our students. Our teachers are putting the finishing touches on their preparations and are excited to connect with you, share student progress, and celebrate the learning happening in our classrooms. Thank you for being such an important partner in supporting our students.

Sincerely,
Dr. Mary Coakley, Principal

GET READY TO READ! The Annual PTO Read-A-Thon BEGINS Monday MARCH 9!


The PTO will KICK OFF the Annual Read-A-Thon on Monday! The yearly Read-A-Thon challenges students and teachers to read as many minutes as they can from March 9th until March 27h. Every minute spent reading helps us reach our school-wide goal of 27,000 minutes! The minutes we log will help raise money to purchase more books for our library and classrooms.


A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CAME OUT TO SUPPORT OUR FABULOUS FIFTH GRADERS


We are so proud of the way our students stepped up to run the Bingo games, hand out prizes, prepare crafts, share their creativity, and working together to raise money for their upcoming Nature’s Classroom field trip. Their leadership enthusiasm, teamwork, and entrepreneurial spirit were on full display!


A special thank you to Mrs. Jordana Emerson for organizing and coordinating such a wonderful event, and to our amazing parent volunteers who stepped up to help make it all possible. Your support helps create meaningful opportunities and memorable experiences for our students. We are so grateful for this incredible community!
