NPES: Tomorrow is a BIG day at NPES! It's Kid's Heart Challenge Day! We are really getting close to our goal now - wow! $6300! I bet we could really bump up tonight. 154 students are registered. Consider registering tonight and that number will soar! Remember your child should have tennis shoes on tomorrow and comfy clothes.

North Park Families - please remember there is no preschool tomorrow due to training. Kindergarten is in session.
NPES Families: We understand that several students will be attending the new Boys and Girls Club starting tomorrow. Please remember that we need a transportation change for these students. We have not received any changes yet. These students will be riding bus 2176. You can fill out the transportation change online or send a handwritten note. https://northpark.hardin.kyschools.us/npes-parents/transportation-change
NPES Families: Good morning! I just wanted to send a friendly reminder that our preschool drop-off procedures have always been to park and walk your child inside the school. We have never utilized the front curved area as a place for you to park. We stopped utilizing that space a few years ago, as it causes congestion, frustration and confusion. We had double lanes in that area even this morning, which can be very dangerous. We used to have a staff member outside to direct cars away from that area at the beginning of the year, but it had not been necessary for quite some time. This morning we noticed it was very full. We will place cones moving forward. You may use that space after 7:35 for students coming in later in the day or being picked up. With all the days off, we felt that families may have forgotten our procedures and we wanted to clarify. Thank you so much for understanding. We just want to keep everyone safe and follow the procedures we have previously set. Have a great day!
NPES Families - please read our family newsletter. Help us reach our Kids Heart Challenge goal by FRIDAY!

NPES Families! Back to school tomorrow on a 2-hour delay! YAY! We WILL celebrate the 100th Day of School tomorrow. Please see the graphic regarding info for a 2-hour delay. YOU MAY DROP OFF BEFORE 9:10 if needed...but we will not be operating the car rider line until 9:10. You MUST bring your child to the front of the school if you are arriving between 7:10 (when doors will open) and when the car rider line will start (approx. 9:10). Please use caution in our lot. It has been cleared, but there still may be some slick spots when you are walking. Please read the newsletter I sent earlier if you have not done so already. Lots of important details for the week. https://app.smore.com/n/rk23qc

The virtual choice board has ellipses (...) after the number six meaning that it will continue throughout the rest of this week. I apologize for the confusion, but at the time that I shared it, we were only on day six of NTI. There are more than enough activities on that board to be completed for days six through eight. Please make sure to only choose three activities from the entire board.
