Norwell Public Schools is accepting registrations for community preschoolers for the 2023-2024 Preschool Lottery. The Preschools, located at Cole  & Vinal School, are integrated programs for 3 and 4 year olds both with and without disabilities. Community preschoolers  serve as peer models for students with disabilities; these students should be toilet trained and  display developmentally appropriate speech and language skills, social skills, and play skills. Space is limited. We expect fees to be approximately 2,475/year for 3 year olds for 3 mornings/week and ($3,300/year for 4 year olds for 4 afternoons/week). This fee may increase next year. A student who enters the program as a community student is entitled to remain until he/she reaches school age. The registration period is through 1/20/2023. The lottery will be held 1/23/2023

Any Norwell preschooler who will be 3 or 4 before September 1st of the following school year is eligible for the Norwell Public Schools PreSchool Lottery. Non-resident Norwell Public School teachers and town employees are eligible to enter the lottery.

As part of Vinal’s First Six Weeks and our commitment to clear and consistent behavioral expectations for all our students and staff, we use a positive behavior matrix. The positive behavior matrix sets clear student friendly expectations for all areas outside of the classroom. It also incorporates our C.A.R.E.S. (cooperation, assertive, responsibility, empathy, self-control) acronym which emphasizes key social skills children need to learn and practice if they are to succeed socially and academically. Behavioral expectations must be taught to students. This is done through discussion, interactive modeling, role playing, and the use of reinforcing, reminding, and redirecting teacher language. Our behavior matrix can be accessed here.
