Preschool parents - we are in great need of a preschool parent to serve on our NPES Site Based Decision Making Council (SBDM). This council is very important and helps make decisions/governs our school. We need to fill a 2-year spot with a preschool parent. It is a once-a-month commitment. We meet on the third Thursday of the month at 3:00. You may come in person or join us on Google Meet. There is a mandatory training on October 21st and 28th. If you are interested in running in the election for this spot, please email Mrs. Hayes at laurabeth.hayes@hardin.kyschools.us or message here on the HCS app. We appreciate your consideration!
ATTENTION PARENTS, STAFF AND COMMUNITY!!!
HCS needs your help! This week is Safe Schools Week across Kentucky! Our friends at the Kentucky Center for School Safety are asking students, parents, staff and community members to pledge to keep our students safe.
HCS is currently ranked 6th in the state in the number of pledges received! You can help us move up the list and win the challenge!!!
Please click this link to take an approximately 20-second pledge to keep our students safe while at school: https://kycss.org/safe-schools-week/safety-week-pledge/
We are excited to welcome our pre-registered grandparents to the ice cream social today (and tomorrow)! Please communicate with grandparents that they must bring an ID and it would be very beneficial to know the name of your child's teacher when they arrive to expedite arrival. THANK YOU! Unfortunately, we cannot accept any registrations as we are prepped and ready with the information previously received. Thank you for understanding.
Due to a mechanical issue, the sheep bus (1730) is having to wait to switch students to a new bus. She is still in our parking lot and will be delayed a few minutes starting her route.
Cumberland Health's FLU shot clinic will be Tuesday Sept 23rd and Friday Sept 26th for North Park. Flu consents are being sent home today. They MUST be returned by September 17th for the Cumberland Health Clinic to process paperwork on time. This is OPTIONAL and a service provided for families.
Help us have NO TARDIES today! Get to school by 7:30! Grandparent ice cream social sign ups close at 10 am.
We want our attendance to be DINO-mite! 🦖 🦕 Let's win the competition AND push to have no tardies tomorrow!!! Be at school tomorrow (in Dino attire or accessories) and be ON TIME! We can do it and have a T-REXCELLENT day!
Grandparent Ice Cream Social sign-ups close TOMORROW at 10:00 AM. We CANNOT accept late registrations due to logistics, space and purchasing supplies. Please sign up tonight and BEFORE 10:00 AM tomorrow if you are planning for grandparents to attend.

Tomorrow is the FUN RUN! Please send your child in TENNIS SHOES tomorrow. We will be inside, but sandals/crocs would not be safest. Students will get to go to the gym for a GLOW RUN with music and lots of fun. We will be sharing pictures. Tonight is the last night for donations. We are at $13,500!!! It would be amazing to close out the fundraiser at $14,000. We appreciate our families SO VERY MUCH!!!
Friendly reminder for preschool parents that our preschoolers are all dropped off at the front of the school in the morning. Car rider line is for kindergarten only in the morning. Preschool uses the car rider line in the afternoon only. Also, preschool car rider was much smoother yesterday! Just remember that drivers must stay in their vehicles, staff will help your child inside your vehicle and then you may pull over in the bus parking to buckle in. Please do not get out of your vehicle while in the line.
NPES Preschool Families - We are having another great day at preschool! I wanted to clarify that in the car rider line, we do need all parents to stay in the car. School staff will open the doors and place your child in his/her seat. You will need to pull over in the bus parking area to get out and secure your child. Parents cannot get out of their vehicle in the car rider line so that we can keep the traffic flowing and for everyone's safety. If you have any questions about this, please feel free to call and ask to speak to Mrs. Hayes or Mrs. Morgan before car rider line today. 270-351-4464. We will be outside to help monitor today. Have a great day!
Happy Labor Day! Please read our NPES Family Newsletter for the week! Several important announcements are inside. Also - WE DID IT! We CRUSHED OUR FUN RUN GOAL - see newsletter for more info! Dental Clinic starts this week ONLY for students with permission slip turned in.

We had a GREAT first day of preschool and look forward to another great "first" day with our 3-day preschoolers tomorrow! Thank you to our preschool parents for an amazing job with transportation and procedures and special thanks to our kinder families for your patience with a new transition as well. Our staff worked very hard to prepare and today was evidence of how much our Tiny Trojans are loved all throughout NPES. (Also - exciting update - we are just $1144 from our goal! Wow! Let's crush it)
