Teacher Appreciation Week! May 6-10
Lets celebrate our hard-working teachers! Each day of the week is a special day for your child to recognize their teacher and the amazing jobs they have done this year!
🏅🏅 Field Day Fast Passes 🏅🏅
May 16th from 8:30-12:30 will be the PK-2nd grade Field Day.
May 17th from 8:30-12:30 will be the 3rd and 4th grade Field Day.
Norwood Elementary's Field Day is fast approaching. We are excited to have all registered Norwood students participate in this fun event!
If you want to watch your child participate in the activities planned, you will need to clear our security system in order to participate (similar to coming to lunch or volunteering on campus.) All parents and/or guardians will need a Visitor's Badge to be on campus. We have an opportunity for you to receive a Fast Pass in advance so that you do not wait in the line on the day of your child's Field Day. Keep in mind, if you choose to not fill this out, you will have to wait in the Raptor line to get your Visitor Badge.
As a reminder, for the safety and security of all participants, non-school aged children, including babies and toddlers, or children not enrolled at Norwood are not permitted to accompany an adult vistor for Field Day.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. We appreciate your cooperation and support for making Field Day a special day for our students!
If you are going to come to your child's Field Day, please note the dates and times above, and click on the link below that coincides to your child's grade level. If your child is in the Fine Arts or STEM Academies, they have a separate link.
The Fast Passes form will close on May 13th.

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.
