Kindergarten and Grade 3 parents,
Your child will be transitioning to a new community at NAM next school year! This is always challenging for our students as they begin a new 3 year cycle. A form is available (sent home in weekly news) to provide the type of environment and characteristics in a teacher, that would work best for your child. Please do not request a specific teacher.
ALL REQUESTS WILL BE CONSIDERED, BUT COMPLETING THIS FORM DOES NOT GUARANTEE PLACEMENT. All requests must be returned by May 8th.
Happy Earth Day!
We are still collecting gently used shoes for reuse through ShoeBox recycling. Our first shipment of 5 boxes contained 141 pairs of shoes and earned $78 for our school! Thank you for keeping shoes on the feet of those that need them and out of the landfill. Please deposit donations in the boxes located at the front or gym entrances.
