Traverse Rock Wall
We are so thrilled to have our very own traverse rockwall! We are so thankful to have such a great opportunity for students here at Norwood.
Norwood is one of four elementary campuses that has a traverse rockwall.
I want to thank our donors for their contribution in bringing this rockwall to Norwood.
Thank you to the Tally family and to our PTA, we wouldn't be able to have this without your continued support.
We will be starting to use the rockwall in these next upcoming weeks, before that I wanted to send an opt-out form.
If you do NOT want your child to be utilizing the rockwall here at Norwood, please fill out the opt-out form found here:
Norwood's Rockwall Opt-out Form
Please only fill out the form if you do NOT want your child to be climbing the rockwall.
If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to Coach Grimme.
MISD Bond
Proposition D in the MISD 2024 Bond Program allows for the construction of a Fine Arts Multi-Purpose Addition at each high school. This space can be used as a classroom for programs such as band, cheer, dance, drill team, and JROTC. Also included in the proposition is the renovations of existing band halls for orchestra. These additions will allow all fine arts students more access to function spaces. For more information on the proposed projects, visit mansfieldisdbond.com/proposed-projects
2024 Summer Resource Guide
It's prime time to plan out the summer by registering for campus, developing that summer schedule, etc. We want students to keep their minds engaged this summer to reduce that summer lapse. Please see the attached!
