- Student Gov't Elections: Congratulations to our new 18-19 Student Government elected officers: President: William Rodriguez; Vice President: Autumn Lor & Secretary: Jake Cronin.
- May is Bike Month: Did you know that May is officially bike month? NP3 MS is participating in a challenge to rise as much as possible. Participating is easy, just hop on your bike and ride! Anytime, anywhere! Students keep track of how many trips they take, and log it in Advisory class. 1 trip equals 10 minutes of riding. That's not all! Students who ride at least once a week will earn a prize. There is a different prize for each week, so get on your bike and ride! Be smart, be safe, but most importantly, HAVE FUN!
- 18-19 School Year Calendar: View next year's academic calendar here https://natomasunified.org/np3m/about-us/calendar-academic-year/. We love that our families travel and we have a request: we ask that families plan vacations during designated breaks. Student attendance is very important.
