It is hard to believe that this is the last school week of 2024.  As we approach the holiday break, we want to say how grateful we are for the entire Saxe community.  Without your support, we would not have been able to learn about working hard and never giving up from Mannie Nogueira, show teachers and staff how loved they are with Professional Learning Day lunches and Open House dinners, and pack the auditorium for three amazing shows of Elf Jr.  The list could go on but just know how grateful we are for your dedication to your Saxe Hawks and the entire Saxe family.  We hope this holiday season is filled with love, laughter and fun and we are excited to see what 2025 brings.

Warmest wishes,

Jess and Emily

Upon completion of the exam, please email or bring the completed CT health assessment record to the lower division health office. Please contact your school nurse, Joelle Graham, with any questions. She can be reached at joelle.graham@ncps-k12.org or at (203) 594-4526.
