Neary’s Parent/Teacher Conferences will be held on Thursday, November 13 (afternoon: 1:00–3:00 p.m. and evening: 5:00–7:00 p.m.) and Friday, November 14 (afternoon only: 1:00–3:00 p.m.).

Teachers will share conference sign-up information through ParentSquare on Tuesday, October 14, at 9:00 a.m.

In addition to classroom teachers, our specialists and student support team are also available for conferences during these times. They can provide valuable insights and updates about the students they work with. If you would like to meet with any of these team members, please reach out to them directly using the email addresses listed below.

Please note that both days will be early release days, with students dismissed at 11:50 a.m.

Parent-teacher conferences are an important opportunity to strengthen the partnership between home and school, supporting your child’s academic and social-emotional growth. We encourage you to sign up early to secure a time that works best for your schedule.

Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Our Kindness Garden continues to grow in Neary's front garden. Some of our rocks are being shared with the Senior Center, too! Thank you to our SOS for their generosity in purchasing the sign, to Mrs. Theve for leading this initiative, and to our students and staff who have painted rocks for the garden!

Since 2004, Neary School students have collected Halloween candy, which was then sent to soldiers stationed all over the world, donated to local food pantries, and, for the last five years, donated the majority of the collected candy to a local group, Rise Above.   

This year, we are back to donating candy to US soldiers.  We will be sending candy to several former Neary students who themselves participated in this collection when they were fourth and fifth graders, as well as the father of a current Neary fourth grader. Candy will be sent to Rick Scott, a former Neary student. Rick is the commanding officer of the USCGC Earl Cunningham stationed off the coast of Kodiak, Alaska.  We will be sending candy to Evangelos Baltas, a former Neary student and the brother of a current fifth grader. He and his wife are in the Navy. We will be sending candy to Drew MackNair, the father of a current fourth grader, who is currently stationed in Europe. Finally, we will be sharing the candy with U.S. Marine Captain Jack McLaughlin, who is stationed in San Diego, California, and is a friend of Mrs. Valenti.  If you know of any soldier who would like to receive candy, please contact Mrs. Turieo (jturieo@nsboro.k12.ma.us).   If you would like to help with the postage, we would appreciate your help. Please send in money with your child.

There will be collection boxes outside of Mrs. Turieo’s room (Room 2) for candy donations from Monday, November 3rd, through Friday, November 7th. Children who want to participate can bring the candy to school and place it in the box themselves. For storage reasons, please send only prepackaged candy. We will be mailing out the packages the following week.

The response from the students each year has been fantastic.  Most of the children anticipate Halloween so eagerly.   Although we do collect food items throughout the year, giving a small amount of their own candy makes the donation even more personal for the children.

Thank you for your support.
