Kittredge Elementary School

The placement teams will be meeting before the end of June to create class assignments for students entering grades K-5 for the 2007-2008 school year. The placement procedure is a very involved and thoughtful process. Factors we consider for placement include academic performance, achievement, gender, as well as social and personality factors. Written input from parents regarding placement for students in the fall of 2007 will be welcomed until Friday, April 13th. Please include in your comments what you see as the learning style of your child and the class environment in which you believe he or she learns best. A request for a particular teacher cannot be accepted. Our goal is to create classes balanced academically and socially to meet each learner's needs. Any letter stating the name of a particular teacher is disregarded and not considered for placement. Please send your letters directly to Nancy Jukins, Principal, for careful consideration. Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
Nancy Jukins

The team is heading to Worcester for next level of competition.

Residents have until April 13th to order a rain barrel at a 25% savings off the retail value. A rain barrel system collects water and stores it for when drought conditions (and a watering ban) may prevail in the summer months. Your flowers and shrubs will appreciate this eco-friendly system. The first 50 barrels ordered are eligible for an additional $10.00 savings. See offer on line. Visit: http://www.nerainbarrel.com/NorthAndover.html

The Change-A-Light campaign and competition with the town of Andover continues. We hope for a strong finish to overtake our neighbors to the south. By joining the pledge to replace standard incandescent light bulbs with the new CFLs (compact florescent lightbulbs) you will save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The new CFLs are brighter and even more efficient than earlier models. You can use them most anywhere. To pledge, go to: http://www.energystar.gov/. Click on "Take the ENERGY STAR Change a Light Pledge" and be sure to identify with the "Town of North Andover" under "organization." Our competition with Andover concludes on May 13th. Make your pledge today!
