Class Roster Updates
Each year, we try to get class rosters for the upcoming school year loaded onto Infinite Campus by the second week of August. Our hope is that you will be able log into Infinite Campus by 8/14 to see your child’s classroom teacher. We will send out notification when this is officially done. Thank you for your patience.
Mural at FNS!
You may have driven by and noticed a clean canvas painted on the front of Sweetsir! This is the home of a future art mural funded by the Pentucket Arts Foundation. It is being painted and designed by Merrimac artist Jenn Houle. We are so excited to watch the process and hope you are too!

Youth Flag Football
Youth League Flag Football Registration is open now through August 26th. The League continues to be a relaxed Fall Sport with all teams made up of Merrimac, Groveland, and West Newbury kids of varying skill sets. This year we're 'pumped' to offer PreK/K and High School Divisions in addition to the existing 1st thru 8th Grade ones! No 'pressure' to join, but late fees will 'kick' in soon. One practice a week and Sunday games -- please send any questions to wnylflagfootball@gmail.com.
