Our staff members attended different training sessions the week before school began, such as Active Shooter and Crisis Prevention & Intervention. NACP believes that we need to be ready for any situation and routine practice drills help us prepare for an emergency. We want our students and families to feel safe when coming to our school!

Here are some photos of our interactive training session!

We are always eager to meet our students and happy to greet our families!

We hope you're as excited for this new school year as we are, too!!

Our students were very respectful and good listeners!

WORKSHOPS

Stay connected. Be informed. Spread the word.

PARENT VOLUNTEER HOURS

Safety COVID-19 restrictions continue to be in place. For this reason, our workshops will continue to be held via ZOOM. We are eager to open our campus for in-person parent educational classes, workshops, and classroom volunteering!

Our school recognizes the importance of parent involvement in the education of their children. Although in-person workshops are on hold at the moment, there are many ways to accumulate your volunteer hours. NACP suggests parents volunteer for a total of 20 hours per school year. Here are some ways you can help and be involved at N.E.W. Academy:

• Attending school meetings : Orientation, Back to School Night, Open House, Coffee with the Principal, School Site Council (SSC) meetings, English Language Advisory Committee meetings (ELAC)
• Helping our school traffic safety team in the morning and during dismissal
  
• Donating school supplies: Every $20 = 1 hour
• Student accidents happen frequently. Donating your child's gently used uniform that they have outgrown is a way to help our students
• Ask your teacher if there is any work you can take home like sorting scholastic magazines, cutting out shapes, gluing projects, etc...
• Attending our virtual workshops & more!

Be sure to sign our attendance sheets for in-person meetings & virtual meetings. This way, we can confirm your attendance and register your hours accordingly!

We will recognize the parents who have completed their hours at the end of every month during our Success Celebration!

We invite you to join our amazing parent leader community!

I hope to see you during our workshops!

We hope you enjoy learning a little bit more about us!

This month, we are asking our Principal and Assistant Principal....

"What activities did you enjoy doing the most in your elementary years?"

From Dr. Todd:

I enjoyed art and music the most! I think it was because both my art and music teachers were so passionate about teaching. Much of their enthusiasm helped give me a joy for both subjects that remains to this day.

From Mrs. De Revere:

I loved my elementary school years! I was involved in many activities because I had a supportive family that encouraged me to explore my passions. I will highlight just a few.

• At school, I loved to play handball and even entered handball competitions during afterschool club.

• In my free time, I was a cheerleader for a Pop Warner football league for several years which led my passion into middle school, high school, and college.

• I was a member of the 4-H Club. I enjoyed raising, breeding, and showing rabbits at the county fair. My specialty was dwarf rabbits. Although, we also had several minilops in our bunny family too! They were a lot of fun and taught me responsibility and compassion for animals.

• I was a member of the Girl Scouts for 7 years. I went through Daisys, Brownies, Juniors, and finally bridged into Cadettes in middle school. This experience encouraged me to become a Girl Scout leader for my own daughters while they were in elementary school.

• Aside from all that, I participated in tennis lessons, ice skating lessons, dance class, and gymnastics, etc.

Elementary school was a great time filled with lots to do. If I wasn’t out and about, I was home with my family, playing with my pets, swimming in the pool, or drawing. I always look back at this time with fond memories. I hope all of our NACP Dolphins are making their great memories right now. Explore new things, invest in your passions, and have fun!
