REMINDER - There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, September 7, 2026 because of the Labor Day holiday.
North Park Families - we love our NPES grandparents! We will have an ice cream social for grandparents on September 17th and 18th. More information and the assigned dates for your child's classroom can be found at the link below. Since we have so many students, we have to divide the classes across two days. **Preschool families - we know that these events are sometimes tricky because of the three different preschool schedules. If your child attends on a different day than your teacher is assigned, your child's grandparent may bring them on the assigned day in time for the event. Unfortunately we cannot always accommodate our dates with the different preschool schedules.

NPES families - I know many of you saw the district message about completing the parent update. It’s a little tricky since our families are all mostly new. If you registered your child for school since March, you won’t really have an “update” like returning students or older children, but you can verify your child’s Infinite Campus information and have a portal account for the future. Parents who previously had a student here can check and complete an update. We want all of our families to to get a parent portal account as soon as you can. See directions below:
💻Go to our school website - https://northpark.hardin.kyschools.us/ and click on the MORE tab.
🧑🧒🧒Click on parent portal information.
➡️Click on request to sign up for parent portal. You will then be directed to a Google form. Fill that out and then our registrar will help you.
📧If you have any questions, email our registrar, Tiffany Arnold, at tiffany.arnold@hardin.kyschools.us

This is North Park Elementary School principal Laura Beth Hayes .
At approximately 1:20 this afternoon, our school was put into a hard lockdown using our Raptor Technologies system. This system supplies district employees with security badges that have buttons that must be pressed multiple times during an emergency.
The button on their badge was pressed the appropriate number of times by accident, sending our school into lockdown.
Everything is fine. All is well. There is no need for our school to be on lockdown. The pressing of the button on the Raptor badge was a mistake.
We appreciate everyone’s care for our students and staff. And, we are thankful to our first responders and staff who took the situation seriously. Thank you for your support and dedication to our North Park Elementary School family!

Tonight is PRESCHOOL Open House! We can't wait to see all of our preschool families! Please park in the front of the school and then enter on the LEFT SIDE of the school (bus lot area). You will later exit out the front doors only. Open House begins at 5:00 and will end at promptly 8:00. Please make sure you arrive early enough to meet the teacher and complete tasks. See you then!
North Park families - please read this week's newsletter. Please help us by reading closely the section on car rider procedures. You are doing GREAT - we are just ready to speed things up to help everyone have an efficient and smooth morning getting to other destinations. Thank you! https://app.smore.com/n/rp4uw
NPES families: Regular car line begins today - there are no front door drop offs. Please exit our parking lot by turning right to make it go faster for all. You can make a u-turn on Logsdon if you need to turn left. Thank you for helping all families get through the line quickly by turning right as you leave, having your child unbuckled and ready with backpack on. It's going to be a great second day!
What a great first day of kindergarten! We had a wonderful day. We had very few transportation issues - thank YOU for utilizing your PickUp Patrol accounts to help make afternoon dismissal much smoother than usual. Reminder that the regular car rider line begins tomorrow (no drop offs at the front doors). The car rider line typically closes at 7:27 so that everyone can get in by 7:30. There may be some delays tomorrow, but it will speed up very soon. School will dismiss at 2:15 tomorrow. Have a great night!
Reminder! One hour early release for all elementary schools except Lakewood Elementary School today, Thursday, August 6, 2026. 
We are having a great first day at NPES! Please remember that school dismisses at 1:15 PM today (TODAY only - tomorrow is a normal full day). That means we will walk students to the buses at 1:15. Our buses will not leave for about 10 minutes after that. It takes a while the first day. Car line will start after that. Please note that bus times may vary today depending on how long it takes us to load buses and how long it takes drivers to complete first day routes. We will notify you via Dojo once our buses are loaded and leaving. Thank you for a great morning - our procedures were very smooth!
Reminders for a great first day of kindergarten!
Parents - we are so excited to welcome our KINDERGARTEN students tomorrow! We have a default transportation plan for nearly all of our kinder students now (with the exception of a few students who we are still working on who registered in the last week). IF YOU NEED TO MAKE A TRANSPORTATION CHANGE, YOU MUST DO THAT IN PICKUP PATROL. If you are making a one-day change, please be sure you aren't changing the default plan. Just make a daily change. A link to a video to help you can be found here: https://youtu.be/HAVjL53ys24?si=ifdd9TfRyn30MJVi
To make transportation changes, look for the PickUp Patrol link pinned to the top of Class Dojo, our Facebook page, on our school website (under parents) and at the bottom of the weekly school newsletter.
There is also a parent guide which can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vR4axR8FEGeaXqL9t27O4j3cvSW9tvvsKCwkX4qBc74DKV8D_rgE0hGMyneKqqiF4JhmsefchTNx-La/pub
Please call the school before 3:00 PM today if you need assistance. All daily transportation plan changes must be made by 12:15 PM for each school day.
