Message From the Principal
Dear Families: Welcome to Norton Commons Elementary School (NCES). We feel honored that you have selected us. We know your years here will be exciting, happy, memorable, and rewarding. Our goal is to help your child be successful by offering positive learning experiences designed to motivate and guide your child to achieve his or her maximum potential. We extend our hand in partnership knowing your child will achieve his or her greatest results if we work together. This handbook is designed to provide you with information regarding our current school offerings, regulations, and policies. In addition to this handbook, you will receive a copy of the Jefferson County Public Schools (JCPS) Student Support and Behavior Intervention Handbook and the Student Bill of Rights booklet. Read and discuss both of these documents with your child. With your help, we can provide the safe, orderly, effective learning environment that each Norton Commons student deserves. We know that all students can achieve at high levels and can work cooperatively. We encourage you to become actively involved in the school and its program and activities. Working together, we can make a significant, positive difference in the lives of our students. Please keep in close communication with your child's teacher throughout the year, and do not hesitate to call the office if you need further assistance. Let's make it an outstanding year together!
Sincerely,
Allyson Vitato
Allyson Vitato, Principal

Attendance
Attendance Basics
All students are required by law to attend school every day and to be on time. At Norton Commons, we pride ourselves on maintaining a high attendance rate for students because we understand the importance of attending school each day. Many classroom learning activities and experiences simply cannot be made up at home. Please try to schedule your child's medical and other appointments after school hours in order to avoid absences.
