🥁🎺 Third time’s a charm!

After weather postponed this special evening more than once, the Brien McMahon High School Marching Band and Color Guard finally gathered in the parking lot on Thursday for Family and Friends Night and gave the crowd a preview of their new show, “Johann Sebastian Rock.” 🎸

The weather held out just long enough for the band to offer a taste of what will become a full performance blending classic Bach compositions with rock favorites from The Rolling Stones, Metallica, Led Zeppelin, and more. 🤘🎶

👀 Want to see the full show come to life? Catch the BMHS Marching Band and Color Guard at the Cavalcade of Sound on Saturday, Sept. 19 at Brien McMahon High School!

NPS and Chartwells are excited to share that breakfast is available FREE to all students every school day! Starting the morning with a healthy meal helps students arrive in the classroom energized, focused, and ready to learn.

A balanced breakfast provides important nutrients that support:

✅ Better concentration and memory
✅ Increased energy throughout the morning
✅ Improved academic performance
✅ Healthy growth and development

We encourage all students to take advantage of this opportunity and start each day with a nutritious breakfast. We look forward to serving them!

🎉 Norwalk doesn’t miss a day!

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we’re proud to kick it off by celebrating the continued progress of our students, families and schools. Norwalk Public Schools’ chronic absenteeism rate has now fallen below the state average, marking four consecutive years of declining chronic absenteeism across the district! 📉

📆 Having your child attend school everyday is one of the best ways to keep them on track for academic success. Attending school regularly also helps children feel better about school and themselves.

👏 Thank you to our students, families, staff, and community partners for working together to make showing up every day a priority. Let’s keep the momentum going throughout the 2026–27 school year!

The NPS Portrait of a Graduate is a roadmap to becoming future ready, as it defines the essential skills and mindsets that all students need to thrive in today’s world and in the future. It is a shared vision for teaching and learning that empowers every student to think critically, communicate effectively, collaborate with purpose, and make meaningful contributions to their communities and the world.

In Fall 2024, we launched the Portrait of a Graduate initiative with a focus on developing Critical Thinker skills followed up the next year with strengthening students’ ability to Effectively Communicate.

This year, we’re moving into Phase 3 with the Self-Directed Learner competency, which encourages students to take ownership of their learning as they grow by setting long-term and short-term academic, career, and personal goals, developing plans to reach their goals, monitoring their progress, and evaluating the extent to which their plan was successful while engaging in practices that support their holistic well-being.

You’ve already contributed vital feedback in the development of this initiative, and you will continue to play an important role to ensure our scholars become self-directed learners as well as critical thinkers, synergistic collaborators, effective communicators, self-directed learners and global citizens.

A new school year is a reminder that the heart of a school district is its people.

For Norwalk Public Schools, Pauline Davis has been one of those people for over 50 incredible years. As our longest-serving employee, with more than 30 years spent at Ponus Ridge STEAM Academy and entering her 52nd year here at NPS, Pauline represents dedication in its truest form.

Thank you, Pauline, for your service, your heart and the lasting impact you have made across Norwalk!

🎒🎉 Our schools went above and beyond to welcome students back this week and had plenty of fun along the way!

There were so many creative back-to-school messages and first-day celebrations that we couldn’t share them all during the week. So, as you relax after the first few days of school, we’ll be highlighting some of the fun videos our schools created to introduce their amazing staff and celebrate the start of a new year.

🎥 Lots of friendly, helpful teachers and staff welcoming students on the first day at Ponus.
