The Northeast PTO (NEPTO) is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization responsible for providing our students with enriching and community-building opportunities every day.

Take the online survey before the end of the year. If this is of interest to you, we’d like to hear from you! Take the survey here.

The Art Show was a huge success, and Mrs. Dizeo and Mrs. Weiss are taking down the artwork and returning it to the students. They would love some help and are very flexible – you can come in and help whenever you are free. Sign up here and contact Carin Kalt with any questions.

We’ve done mismatch. We’ve done crazy hats. Now, it’s time for students to don their finest and mix it up like the kings and queens that they are on Formalwear Friday.

On Friday, May 26th, have your child dress in their fanciest duds and take some time to make our last Mix-It-Up at Lunch of the 2016-17 school year another success. Like earlier lunches, students will receive random table assignments as they enter the cafeteria and will enjoy their meal with different students than they normally eat with.

We need teachers and parent volunteers to join students at their tables to guide all-new activities and encourage conversations. Sign up to volunteer or contact Mrs. Mould at 203-977-5277 to let her know you can help!

Help welcome new families and the Northeast Class of 2023 by volunteering on Kindergarten Orientation Day, Thursday, May 4.
