Norwood Primary School would like all families living in the boundaries of our school district to “pre-register” their Kindergarten students for the 2025-2026 school year. This applies to those children who will reach the age of five on or before September 1, 2025.
Phone registration will be Monday, March 10 through Friday, March 21, 2025.
Please call 697-6312 between the hours of 9:00AM - 3:00PM and provide us with a small amount of information. After receiving this information, a kindergarten packet will be mailed to you at a later date.
We are so proud of our student for all of their hard work and kindness toward others. These are our January PRIDE winners.
Did you know that students who miss too much school in PreK and K are less likely to be reading by 3rd grade?
Dress comfortably and bring a good book to help us celebrate reading.
We love to celebrate the holidays! Starting next week we will be having dress up days to get us in the holiday spirit.
Please remember to bring your donations for the Santa breakfast raffle to the office tomorrow. Thank you.

Dear Norwood Families,
Keeping our students safe is our TOP priority. Unfortunately, bus behavior has been a concern lately and is creating an unsafe environment for our students.
In an effort to fix this problem, we are taking the following actions:
Reteaching bus expectations in every classroom.
Posting bus expectations in the hallways and on the buses.
Offering incentives for positive behavior.
Creating a seating chart to place students strategically throughout the bus.
We know the kids can do it, but we need your help too! Please review the bus rules with your child at home AND stress the importance of safe bus behavior.
We greatly appreciate your support with this matter.

Norwood Families,
As part of our ongoing commitment to student safety, we want to inform you that we will be conducting our annual, required lockdown drill in coordination with law enforcement on Monday, September 23rd. The drill will take place at both school buildings. In accordance with Illinois State requirements, we are notifying students, staff, and families in advance.
If you would like your child(ren) to opt out of the drill, please contact the office. To opt out, you will need to either pick up your student just before the drill or bring them to school after it has concluded. The drill at NES will begin around 9:15 a.m. and at NPS around 9:45 a.m. Please note that since the entire building will be participating, we won’t have an alternative space for students who are not participating.
If you have any questions or would like more information about the drill, feel free to contact your building secretary. Please also be aware that this is a routine drill that we have conducted in previous years. There will be no special effects or sounds, and our local law enforcement will simply walk the hallways to ensure doors are locked and our safety procedures are up-to-date.
Yours in safety,
Norwood Administration
Friday is a great day to be a Tornado! We have some awesome behavior ticket winners this week. Way to go!
First grade wrapped up their fable unit by making puppets of their favorite characters to help retell the stories.
Fourth grade learned about being kind to people who are different today. They also celebrated their awesome attendance for August with Pizza at lunch.
