Dear Kittredge Families,
Welcome Spring! Now that the nice weather is finally here, I'd like to ask your help regarding spring fever concerns. Although mornings tend to be cool, by lunchtime it is usually warm enough for a light jacket or sweatshirt. We suggest your child keep a piece of lightweight outerwear in school for those days when a heavy jacket is too warm for recess. Remember to label all of your child's belongings so we may easily return misplaced items directly to them.
MCAS NewsThe 3rd graders will be taking the MCAS Reading tests next week. The tests will be administered on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday (March 30th, 31st and April 1st). It is important for your 3rd graders to be present and on time, get plenty of sleep and have a good breakfast. This year, the 5th graders will be taking a reading try-out test. It will be administered on Monday, March 28th. Please encourage your children to do their best!

Seasons of North Andover Prints and PostersThe North Andover School Enrichment Council is pleased to announce that you can now view our "Seasons of North Andover" prints and posters on our website at www.northandover.k12.ma.us/NASEC. Those of you who have visited the foyer of the Middle School will recognize these as being the very same pictures of local landmarks depicted in the murals that flank the auditorium. This artwork was created by local artists who taught in the North Andover school system. There are three posters: Fall, Spring/Summer, and Winter. Winter and Spring/Summer are also available as signed and numbered prints. The cost of the posters is $10 each, or a set of three for $25. Prints are $20 each. All proceeds support the Enrichment Council's efforts to bring high quality cultural arts performances and curriculum enhancing programs to our schools.
