This subcommittee will look at the school buildings across the district to consider the best configurations for capacity to best promote teaching and learning for the students of North Andover.

The subcommittee will review the space study to be commissioned by the Superintendent and Town Manager.  The subcommittee will develop options and engage the public to gather input, vet and respond to plans.  The subcommittee will bring its recommendations to the School Committee for a vote by June 2021. 

This work is concurrent with the MSBA funding proposal for the middle school.  The work of this subcommittee will parallel and inform the work of the Facilities Master Plan II Committee.  With Town Meeting approval in May 2022, it is anticipated the town will commission a school building plan to begin work on the first of a series of projects in FY23 to be overseen by the School Building Committee. 

The subcommittee will consist of the subcommittee Chair, the Assistant Superintendent for Facilities, faculty/staff, parents and community members who represent a cross section of the stakeholders with a focus on elementary and middle school interests.The School Committee Chair will serve on the subcommittee ex officio.

Those who wish to serve on the subcommittee can submit a letter of interest to the subcommittee chair, Holly Vietzke-Lynch with their availability, background and reason they wish to serve.  vietzke-lynchh@northandoverpublicschools.com

The Patriotic Observance Committee invites you to tune in and watch the

2020 Virtual Veterans Day Ceremony

Wednesday, November 11, 2020 at 10:00am

The broadcast will be available on North Andover GovCAM Verizon - Ch. 26, Comcast/Xfinity - Ch. 8 or online at: link.northandoverma.gov/govcam

View the program here.

*There will be no in-person ceremony or parade.*

As communicated at the start of the school year, students who selected OLA would have a chance to switch to Hybrid at the end of the Trimester, December 11, 2020. If you are interested in making a change, either into Hybrid or OLA, please complete the google form found here by Friday, November 13, 2020. We will do our best to honor requests to change from the OLA to Hybrid and will also consider Hybrid to OLA requests, although our OLA classrooms are near capacity. 

NAMS Parent/Guardian requests will be reviewed, in consultation with district administration. Additional *factors may apply and it is important to know that change requests may necessitate **changes to student assignments. When a change is not possible, NAMS will maintain a wait list for consideration at the next trimester mark or as space becomes available.

*Student priorities (per DESE) will be given first consideration for switches including other factors such as physical distancing and staffing. 

** It is important to know that in order to accommodate changes and all health and safety guidelines: 

• Your child may need to be waitlisted until space is available. 

• Your child may not have the same teacher/team.

• Changes may impact student schedules of students not requesting a change, but not necessarily their team/teacher assignments.
