And just like that, that’s a wrap on the 2025-2026 school year at Norton Park Elementary! 🎬☀️🎉

From incredible STEM nights and book fairs to student art showcases and everyday victories in the classroom, our students have grown, learned, and shined so bright this year. 🧠✨

A massive thank you to our phenomenal teachers, dedicated staff, and supportive families for making this year such a wonderful success. We could not do it without this amazing community!

Wishing all of our students, staff, and families a safe, happy, and relaxing summer vacation. Have fun, keep reading, and we’ll see you back in August! 🐾🏖️📚

Dear Families,
I want to thank each family and the community for the last four years that I have had the privilege to be at NPK. I have been transferred to Milford ES for the upcoming school year. I will miss all the families, the student conversations, the SOARing student work, the community events, and especially the student smiles when they walk through the doors each day. Thank you for all of your love and support for the children. It’s not a goodbye, but a see you later!
Love, Mrs. Ruiz

🎒 No bookbags tomorrow! 🏫

Parents, please remember that tomorrow is the last day of school, and students should not bring their bookbags or backpacks with them.

Let's finish out this incredible school year strong and safe! See everyone tomorrow for a fantastic last day! ☀️🎉 🐾

These graduates were so excited to see Ms. Liu and Coach Blalock at the final walk. Thanks for making a lasting impact on so many students!

🦅 Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle! 🦅
Our hearts are absolutely full after today! There’s nothing quite like the Final Walk to remind us why we do what we do.
Watching our 5th graders take those final steps through the halls where they grew up—and seeing our former Norton Park Eagles return to walk with them—was a total "tissue box" moment. 😭❤️
To our 5th graders: You’ve worked so hard, and we are so proud of the leaders you’ve become. To our returning alumni: Thank you for coming back to inspire the next generation. No matter where you go next, remember that you always have a home here at Norton Park.
Congratulations to the Class of 2026! Go forth and do great things! 🎓✨

What an incredible day yesterday at Norton Park! Our Field Day Parade was an absolute blast, and it was so wonderful to see the school spirit on full display.
A huge shoutout to all of our amazing students for their energy and the staff for their hard work. Seeing the smiles and hearing the excitement made it a day to remember.
Check out some of the highlights below! 🏃‍♂️🎉🏅
