The Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is used to determine eligibility for federal grants and loans. Most colleges also use your FAFSA to determine their own scholarships and discounts — so it’s worth filling out.

Please join us! We’ll walk through the application process and serve up pizza while you learn. There will be time to ask questions and chat with school counselors/advisors.

There will be a special presentation by the Assistant Director of Financial Aid Services at UMass Amherst.

The high school French classes prepared a spectacular event for National French Week! They put together a special French Dance Workshop for their peers. It was a chance to step into the world of French culture and learn some iconic moves, including Le Can Can, Les Positions de Ballet, and La Gavotte. Many students came to join us, got moving, and immersed themselves in the fun and history of French dance. It was a unique opportunity to celebrate!

The final school portraits have been captured! Thank you to the students who have worked hard to photograph SBRSD and SBCCP.

The online galleries will be closing on November 15th, so please be sure to:
Order your photos as soon as possible.
Download all your purchased files before the deadline.

We appreciate your support!

Fifth-grade science students created storyboards for their stop-motion animation project about photosynthesis.

🎃 Pre-K pumpkin fun!
Mrs. Krom's pre-K students have been diving into some wonderful pumpkin math and science fun!

These fantastic gourds were generously donated by Hilary and Jim Collingwood of MoonFlower Farm and Floral in Sheffield. Hilary and Jim supplied pumpkins to all elementary school teachers so every student could enjoy this engaging hands-on learning experience.

What an amazing morning of science in action! Our seventh graders successfully launched their hot air balloons this morning.

SBRSD really brought the spooky spirit today! 🎃

To represent their unique artistic voices, students in the Art Portfolio class crafted thematic collages.

Our NMC PreK class just wrapped up an exciting Apple Unit filled with multisensory learning!

We kicked off the unit with a class-wide taste test, sampling three different colors and varieties of apples. Afterward, the children colored small paper apples to create a class bar graph, which visually represented which apple color was the most and least popular. We also channeled our creativity into a bulletin board display, where children created their favorite color apple out of paper.

For our culinary adventure, we put on our chef hats for some baking. The kids loved helping to prepare apple calzones, assisting with cutting the slices, spreading the dough, and sprinkling on cinnamon and sugar. Delicious!

The unit also included an in-depth apple investigation. Each child selected their own apple from the bag, drew it, identified its color, and measured its height using connecting cubes. The highlight was cutting the apple open to count the seeds inside—and, of course, they got to taste this investigative apple, too!

Even our learning centers were apple-themed. Activities included rolling playdough into "apples" for counting games, using tweezers to sort pom-pom apples by color (great for fine motor skills!), and creating apple dots with dobbers and Q-tips. We truly had an absolutely apple-licious time learning about apples!

The AP Spanish Class and Spanish IV students visited the Clark Art Institute today. They received a tour conducted entirely in Spanish by an excellent docent, focusing on “La vida y Arte en España” (Life and Art in Spain). The students learned about works by artists such as Goya, Mary Cassatt, Murillo, and Degas. It was a successful day of immersion, combining language practice with cultural learning.

Our theatre department is proud to announce that the grades 3-6 play this year will be The Wizard of Oz Youth Edition. Performances will be on Friday, October 24th, at 7:00 p.m., Saturday, October 25th, at 7:00 p.m., and Sunday, October 26th, at 2:00 p.m.

Mr. Masters' NMC class begins the academic year by reading Do Unto Otters, a book focused on the golden rule. This reading initiates a discussion on how to create a kind, caring, and supportive classroom community. The students then use the themes and ideas generated to collaboratively establish their classroom rules. The illustrated otters are the product of a directed drawing activity, which guides students through the main steps before allowing them to personalize and create their own unique otter characters.

The NMC third-grade class wrapped up a fantasy poem about a boy and a dragon. Their next task was to identify the phrases and words the author used to convey the characters' emotions and how those feelings evolved throughout the story.
