WHAT TO EXPECT ONCE ENROLLED

Stay Connected Every Step of the Way

At Norwood Academy, open communication between our staff and families is at the heart of everything we do. Once your child is enrolled, you can expect:

  • Daily updates via Brightwheel — real-time notifications on your child's activities, meals, nap times, and milestones, with photos
  • Two progress reports per year — detailed documentation of your child's development and learning journey
  • Direct access to teachers — our educators are always available to discuss your child's progress, concerns, or questions
  • Family events and parent-teacher conferences — because we believe the best outcomes happen when families and educators work together
