Message from North Main Principal Roger Davis

Dear North Main Families,

October was a busy and exciting month at North Main! Together, we created positive and engaging activities filled with meaningful learning experiences for our students.

A Look Back at October

Red Ribbon Week: Students participated in activities that encouraged healthy choices and positive decision-making.

Breast Cancer Awareness: Staff and students showed their support by wearing pink to recognize Breast Cancer Awareness.

St. Jude Coin War: Our school community came together to raise an incredible $3,200 to support St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Thank you to everyone who contributed!

PTA Spooktacular: What a fantastic event! It was wonderful to see so many creative costumes, smiling faces, and families enjoying an evening together.

As we move further into the fall season, please remember to send your children to school dressed appropriately for the cooler weather. Students continue to participate in outdoor Physical Education classes and recess whenever possible, so warm jackets and appropriate clothing are important.

Looking Ahead to November

November brings several meaningful opportunities for our school community. We will celebrate Veterans Day by recognizing and honoring the men and women who have served our country. We will also take time to reflect on the importance of gratitude as we approach Thanksgiving.

Important Dates

November 19 and 20: Parent-Teacher Conferences
Parent-Teacher Conferences provide an important opportunity to discuss your child's progress, celebrate successes, and identify ways we can continue to support their learning and growth. I encourage all families to take advantage of this opportunity to connect with their child's teacher.  pickAtime will close on November 17th.  You must make an appointment before 11/17 for a conference.

November 19, Evening Parent-Teacher Conferences (virtual) 5:00-8:00 PM

November 20, Afternoon Parent-Teacher Conferences (in-person) 1:30-3:45 PM

PTA Fall Bookfair:  November 17 and November 18.  See more information below in this newsletter.

Wishing all of our North Main families a wonderful Thanksgiving filled with happiness, gratitude, and time spent with loved ones.

We are reminding all M-W families to please have arrangements in place for your child in the event they need to be picked up due to an illness or injury and to make sure your child’s school Main Office is aware.

 MEDICATION:

If your child has any medications that they need to take while in school, a doctor’s order is required for every school year as well as the medication.  Please have the doctor provide the nurse with updated orders for the 2026/ 2027 school year and drop the medication off in the original box to be stored in the nurse’s office, thank you..

The New York State Department of Education requires that all 3rd & 5th grade students & New Entrants have a physical exam. A valid physical 2026-2027 school year is one performed on or after September 1st, 2025 or new entrants within 1 year prior to start date.  Physicals must also be performed by a provider licensed in the state of New York or in the tri-state area.
