NPES Parents - with all the snow, we don't want you to forget about our big holiday night tomorrow - North Pole at North Park! We will have FREE Santa and Mrs. Claus pictures, milk/cookies, hallway decorating contest, Grinch Bingo, storytelling, sing-along and crafts! Come out from 6:00-7:30!!

NPES Parents - thank you for a great NTI day! If your child completed a packet (kindergarten) or choice board (preschool), please send in any work as soon as possible to your child's teacher. Students have 10 days to have any NTI work completed or they will be counted as absent. Please make sure all work is sent in by Friday, December 12th. We appreciated your participation, patience and flexibility today.

There is an internet outage with spectrum services. Some of our staff and families have already indicated that they are having difficulty accessing the Google meets. If you are able to join them, that is wonderful however, if you cannot get access, you can complete the kindergarten packet that was sent home yesterday. Those can be returned with your child once we return to school. We appreciate everyone who has already been on a Google meet this morning! So happy to see so many smiling faces!

North Park Families: Today is NTI which means non-traditional instruction. We have made a website to make it easy for you to know what to do and to receive help. Students have TWO options - one is interactive via Google Meets with teachers and the other is choice board or paper-based. Options are slightly different for kindergarten vs. preschool. It is best for students to join Google Meets with staff if possible. PLEASE read our website for all the information. Teachers will be available via Rooms (HCS app) and email. A google meet for help from the office will be open all day after 7:30 AM. Feel free to email or message me (Mrs. Hayes) for help this morning as well. I will send a phone message after 7:00 with more info.

NPES Families - there is a packet in kindergarten folders labeled NTI Day 1. This was placed in your child's backpack as a precaution only. It is important to keep it in the folder in the event that it is needed due to inclement weather. We wanted your children to have a packet option IF we have an NTI day in the future. Preschool families - we did not have time to add the preschool paper choice board to your child's folders by the time we were made aware of the potential need. We will explain all of your options if needed. We have a very detailed NTI site on our school website. If a decision regarding school is made, we will share out detailed instructions, links, directions, etc. Students will have paper OR virtual options. Again, this is all as a precaution and no decisions have been made at this time.

NPES Families: Please read our WEEKLY NEWSLETTER! We have our NORTH POLE at NORTH PARK family night with SANTA on Thursday, holiday concerts coming up, preschool holiday meal - and more! https://secure.smore.com/n/7zvhe

Parents - we are working hard to get all of our CEP forms returned by Monday. This form helps ensure that our school receives all of the funding we need to retain free meals for students and Title I money to pay for staff and also student resources. If you have not returned this form, a new copy was sent home today. Please double check your child's backpack to see if you have the form so that you can return it for us. It is very important and we need it Monday. The form states "2025-2026 Household and Income Form" at the top. The form is also available online under the "quick links" section of the district website. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!

Please check your child's folder as fall pictures are being sent home today. If your child was not in attendance today, they will be sent home Monday or Tuesday.
