Welcome back to a new school year! I hope you had a restful and joyful summer filled with moments of growth, connection, and renewal. As we prepare to open our doors to our 9th year, I am filled with excitement and pride to begin another chapter together as a vibrant learning community.

At the heart of our school is a strong sense of community. We are more than just a building—we are a place where relationships matter, voices are heard, and every individual contributes to our shared success. Together, we create an environment where students feel valued, supported, and inspired to do their best each day.

Our commitment remains steadfast: to provide a caring environment where every student feels safe, respected, and encouraged. We believe that when students feel cared for, they are empowered to take risks, explore new ideas, and reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to nurture not only academic growth but also the social and emotional well-being of every learner.

This year, we will continue to emphasize the importance of developing independent learners. We encourage our students to think critically, ask questions, set goals, and take ownership of their learning journey. By fostering independence, we help students build confidence and resilience—skills that will serve them far beyond the classroom.

Families play a vital role in this journey, and we value your partnership. By working together, we can ensure that every child has the tools, encouragement, and opportunities needed to succeed. Communication and collaboration between home and school remain essential to building a strong foundation for our students. Please be sure to review all the information provided in your welcome letters and be sure to be connected to our platforms – Class Dojo, NPCS Webpage, follow the school & PTO on IG, and connect with fellow NPCS families.

As we step into the new school year, let us embrace the possibilities ahead with optimism, curiosity, and determination. I look forward to seeing our hallways filled with energy, our classrooms alive with learning, and our community growing stronger each day.

Thank you for being an integral part of our school family. Here’s to a successful and inspiring year ahead!

Resources to help guide families in what their child should be able to do according to their grade level can be found in Grade Level Expectations.

We love when parents want to volunteer! We are always looking for volunteers for help with field trips and other events scheduled. If you would like to volunteer at NPCS, please complete the Volunteer Application. Once approved (or denied) you will receive an email notification. Parents cannot chaperone a field trip or volunteer in a classroom unless their application is approved.
