Our summer updates are not just about the building — we're updating what happens inside our classrooms, too!
📚 New Math Program: Ready Math — Kindergarten through Grade 8
📖 New Language Arts Program: Sadlier — Kindergarten through Grade 8
🔬 New Middle School Science Program: Grades 6–8
We are excited about these new programs and the opportunities they will provide for our students and teachers. Our goal is to make sure that our learning environment, our programs, and our building all continue to move forward together.
We aren't just updating our building — we're investing in teaching and learning! 💜
More updates to come as we get ready for another great school year!
Another update from Paul School!
Mr. Nason is hard at work painting our green middle school lockers black.
We are excited to see these changes come together and give our middle school a refreshed look for the upcoming school year!
He also put a fresh new look to our Wakefield School District logo in our hallway. The blue and black lines added to our district logo in the hallway, giving the space a clean, updated look that reflects our school spirit and school colors.
Creating an engaging learning environment starts with providing students with comfortable, functional, and flexible classroom furniture that supports learning and collaboration. These new desks and chairs will help create classrooms where students can focus, work together, and take pride in their school.
This is just the beginning of our vision for the future of Paul School's middle school. Throughout the summer, we have been making improvements that reflect our commitment to providing a safe, welcoming, and engaging place for every student to learn and grow.
We are grateful to our School Board and the Wakefield community for supporting these investments in our students and our school.
Together, we are creating learning spaces that inspire success.
This summer, we completed a full seal coating and restriping of the parking lot to protect the pavement, improve safety, and create a clean, welcoming entrance for our students, families, staff, and visitors.
The fresh striping provides clearly marked parking spaces, improved traffic flow, and enhanced pedestrian safety, while the seal coating helps extend the life of the pavement and protects this important community investment.
We are truly lucky to have a community that believes in our students.
This is our new gym floor.
Great work kids!

8th Grades Students will be taking the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on Tuesday, March 17
2026.
Your child will/may take a mathematics or reading assessment. In addition to subject-area questions, students voluntarily complete NAEP survey questions. These questions provide valuable information about participating students’ educational experiences and opportunities to learn both in and outside of the classroom. More information about NAEP survey questions is available at https://nces.ed.gov/nationsreportcard/parents under the section “Survey Questionnaires & Your Student: What You Need to Know.”
The assessment takes about 120 minutes for most students, which includes transition time, directions, and completion of survey questions.
There is no need to study in preparation for NAEP, but please encourage your child to do their best, get a good night sleep, eat a well-balanced breakfast, and arrive to school on time.
Please contact Aaron Nason at 603-522-8891 or at aaron.nason@sau101.org if you have any questions.
We are excited that our school is participating in NAEP. We know that Paul Elementary School’s students will show what our nation’s students know and can do.
