We hope your summer was filled with time to connect with family and friends while enjoying the beautiful days! Whether you are returning to us or joining us for the first time, we are thrilled to have you as part of the Neary family for the 2025–2026 academic year.
At Neary, our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment that embraces the diversity of our children. We strive to establish a community that fosters each child’s maximum potential as a kind, independent, and motivated learner.
We believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential to student success and encourage families to get involved, whether it be in the classroom, with specialists, field trips, or SOS. Our collaboration builds a strong foundation for success. Please remember that to volunteer, parents/guardians must have a current CORI/SORI on file. If you are unsure of your CORI/SORI status, please stop by the main office, and one of our administrative assistants can help you. You will need a valid ID w/photo in order to complete the forms.
Every Friday, you will receive our Neary Newsletter via ParentSquare. Teachers will also be using ParentSquare to share updates, report cards, and other information throughout the year. On Friday, August 15th, you will be receiving your child’s teacher placement information, and on Monday, August 18th, you will be receiving a welcome letter from your child’s classroom teacher. Both of these communications will be sent via ParentSquare.

In closing, at Neary, our goal is for every student, family, and staff member to feel a true sense of belonging in our learning community. Our school is a place where each voice matters, each contribution is valued, and every individual is welcomed for who they are. My door is always open, and I encourage you to reach out with questions or concerns at any time. I’m excited for the new year, and I am looking forward to having our hallways filled with the exciting sounds and sights of teaching and learning!
With Neary pride,
Kathleen Valenti, Principal
