Principal's Update
April 23, 2021
Happy Friday! We've had a beautiful week and now it's time to get ready for more rain:( It sure makes me appreciate the sun though!
You have likely received the district email announcing my retirement and asking for your input for the next principal. Many of you already knew this as I haven't kept it a secret, but I also hadn't put out a formal announcement and for that I apologize. I have completely enjoyed my time here at North Plains Elementary, and truly love our kids and community. After 35 years in education, and of course 18 years of my own education, I'm looking forward to not being tied to a school calendar! My third grandchild is coming into the world on May 3 (yes, scheduled C-section:), and I'm excited to spend more time with all three of them as well as hopefully travel back to Uganda and continue my work there. Thank you all for being so supportive and kind throughout my 5 year tenure as NPES principal. If you didn't see the email, here is a link to the survey: North Plains ES Principal Input:
You have probably heard that we are doing state testing this year, however it is in a very limited way. Each grade level is only required to do one test. All the information is in the following link: state testing information
By now most of you should have received a letter from your child's teacher regarding the Comprehensive Sexual Health lessons that are coming up soon. Here is a link with all the information you need including the opt out form. Remember that you can opt out of specific lessons, you don't have to choose all or nothing. CSE information
