Tomorrow is SPRING PICTURE DAY (individual and group) for the following classes: 3-day and 5-day preschool classrooms, ALL kindergarten classes except Leiser, Zumhingst, Mowry, and Scott. Those four classes will be on Thursday due to a training those teachers have tomorrow. The rest of preschool and any absent students will have pictures on THURSDAY. We also have the first STROLLER CLUB tomorrow at 10:00 am. Meet in the front of the school if you are participating.
This is your last chance to order North Park's yearbook! Yearbook orders will close on Friday, March 20! The yearbooks will be shipped to school in April. You may scan the QR or go to www.strawbridge.net and enter code YB33362.

North Park Kindergarten Families: Each year we pass along an opportunity for kindergarten graduation mini photo sessions with Kay Fab Photography. The photographer is a nurse who works at NPES with our school nurse practitioner. We give her permission to use our facility for the photos. THESE ARE NOT SCHOOL SPONSORED and we cannot answer questions you may have, but we like to help pass along the opportunity to you. You can find all of your answers using the link below and you can also reach out to her on Facebook - KayFab Photos.

NPES: Reminder of NO PRESCHOOL today!
NPES Families: Please remember that there is NO PRESCHOOL tomorrow due to preschool screenings and registration day. Kindergarten is on schedule as normal. We have an awesome registration event planned. If your child is coming to kindergarten, come join us any time from 9:00-2:00! Please spread the word to other families who have a child starting school!
Please see the attached graphic for a Family Resource Advisory Council meeting with Ms. Ivy on March 10th. All parents are welcome!
NPES Kindergarten Families: You will find NTI packets for days 9 and 10 in your child's folder. WE ARE ONLY SENDING THESE BECAUSE WE HAVE UTILIZED ALL OF THE PACKETS PREVIOUSLY SENT HOME. We wanted you to have 9 and 10 just in case they are needed in the future. We changed the packets slightly to align the work with the end-of-year expectations for kindergarten students. We wanted you to see what students should be working on by now and should master within the next two months. If we do not need the packets for NTI work, they would be great resources for you to use at home to practice critical kindergarten skills. Some of your students will be able to complete the packet independently at this point, and others may need some assistance to complete the work. Either way, the packets are a great way for you to see where your child is at academically for this stage in the kindergarten school year. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to your teacher or to me (Mrs. Hayes, principal). Again, we have no reason to believe we need these packets any time soon, I just wanted us to be prepared. Have a great day!
NPES: Correction/Clarification - I LOVE TO READ WEEK, not Red Ribbon Week. We love all of our many celebrations at NPES.
NPES: Read our family newsletter! We are excited about Red Ribbon Week. We are also SO THANKFUL and proud to have crushed our Kids Heart Challenge Goal. Read all about it here - https://app.smore.com/n/wd8az

NPES: With some additional donations that have been given to us, we are within about $400 of our big goal for the Kids Heart Challenge. WOW!!!! SO VERY CLOSE. The American Heart Association is sending us an extra prize for EVERY STUDENT if we hit our goal. We will also give away a stuffed sloth warmie. Any student who registers or receives a donation between now and Friday will be entered for that drawing! Our window closes on Friday. I think it would be amazing to cross this final small milestone. WE CAN DO IT! http://www2.heart.org/goto/NorthPark
Tomorrow is our space themed high attendance day! Be at school tomorrow ON TIME for an out-of-this-world day of learning!

We apologize for the inconvenience and confusion with bus 1730 (sheep bus) this morning. There was a sub driver as well as a sub monitor. We are aware that some students may have been missed or not picked up at all. If you could bring them to the school, we would greatly appreciate it!
