Principal's Message
Dear Nord Families,
As we approach the Thanksgiving season, I want to take this opportunity to express my personal gratitude to all of our Nord families. Thank you for your support and commitment to your child’s academic success. I am so thankful to be a part of the Walter G. Nord School community and to serve as your proud principal.
As a reminder, Amherst Schools will be on Thanksgiving Break from Wednesday, November 23rd - Friday, November 25th. School resumes on Monday, November 28th. I wish you a Happy Thanksgiving and send best wishes for a break filled with family, friends, love, and laughter!
Take Care,
Mrs. Harigan
