Student Appointment Times: All NPA students will be able to view their appointment time, day, and assigned teacher on the home page of the NPA website. There is a link visible now and that link will be live no later than FRIDAY 8/12. We appreciate your patience as we are working on these meeting times.
Orientation - All students will receive an email with the orientation assignments no later than 8/15/2022. The NPA orientation is broken up into 8 tasks. The first 4 are to be completed in the first week of school and the final 4 are to be completed in the second week of school.
Math Assessment: All NPA students will be completing the MDTP diagnostic test at the beginning of the school year. We use the results to help us place students in the most accurate math course. There is no pressure as this is just one measure of math ability. This assessment is not attached to credit or a letter grade. NPA educators will discuss this math assessment at the first meeting.
Parent/Guardian required participation: The second meeting the week of August 22 is the most important meeting of the semester for a parent/guardian to attend. At this meeting classes, pacing, and goals for the school year are set for each individual student with their educator.
We're looking forward to a positive and productive school year. Let us know if you have any questions.
NPA Leadership Team,
Michael B.Hughes NPA Principal
Kayla Bardsley Secretary to the Principal
Karla Aaron NPA School Counselor
