Normandy Park School Back to School Night
I appreciate you taking the time to meet with us virtually. Accordingly, this evening will run a little differently than Back to School Nights in the past. It will begin with my recorded presentation (link below) that you can watch at any time. Then, beginning at 6:30pm, teachers will host live Google Meet sessions. The first session is from 6:30pm to 6:55pm. The second session is from 7:00pm to 7:30pm. Homeroom teachers have shared links to their Google Meet. If you have trouble accessing, please reach out to me directly at christopher.miller@msdk12.net

Message from the HSA:
If you are a parent or guardian, you are already a member of the HSA! Welcome!!! The primary goal of the Normandy Park School HSA is to raise funds so that we may provide programs and materials to enhance both our students learning experience and our teachers teaching experience. Programs we help support include Cultural Arts Residencies and Assemblies for every child, yearly Author Visits, special family events - like Bingo Night and Fun Fair.
The HSA would like to sincerely thank all of the people who help in enhancing the educational experience of our children. Our Home School Association couldn't accomplish its goals without your hours of volunteering and financial generosity. We are incredibly grateful for the time, energy and effort of our NPS parents.
