Principal's message - week 3
Greetings North Plains Families!
Where is this month going? Only one more week until teachers come back, and then all of the kids arrive the following week, I can't wait! It's been great having folks come in these past couple of days and wow, have we had a lot of new students! So far we've had 12 students register and I know more will come. If you are in an area where people are moving in, PLEASE ask them to come in and register! I'm sure you all would rather get an additional teacher before school starts, as would I!!
Ms. Rachel has done an amazing job getting the school ready for all of you to return and it looks beautiful! When you see her I hope you will say thank you! We are still without a 2nd custodian so she's had to do most of this work alone, not fun!
Good news with parent drop off and pick up! You may have noticed the tree is gone from the parking lot, and next week that area will be paved and then striped for a two lane drop off/pick up line. Yay! Hopefully this fix will get us through until we potentially get a 2nd school in a few years. Speaking of another school..... if you haven't heard much about the HSD bond that will be on the ballot in November, you soon will! I'll have a lot of information coming your way in the near future, and feel free to ask me questions. All of the information is on the district website, but you will get more from me as well in the coming weeks and months.
I will continue to provide this link to our school supplies for those who haven't had a chance to look! http://tinyurl.com/npes-supply1718update1
Just as I have the last 2 weeks, I've added some pics below from my trip this summer. Enjoy the rest of your last 2 weeks and I'll see you soon!

We have a really fun fundraiser that happens each fall called "Glow Golf" and this year it's at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course! If you would like to volunteer, we will be sending out a sign up at a later date, but if you would like to PLAY, please see the brochure on the following link http://tinyurl.com/npes-GlowGolf2017 This is a super fun event and brings in quite a bit of money for us (Thank you Joanna Mehaffey at Columbia Bank!) which we will be using to purchase more chrome books and increase our STEM opportunities next year. I hope you can join us on Friday, Sept. 8.
