Where You're Challenged...and Belong
Principal's Update
March 17, 2022
Dear Families,
Thank you so much for all of you who participated in the Parent/Teacher Conferences before Spring Break. It is helpful for our teachers to have a partnership with you, so we know how to best teach your child. If you missed the conferences and still would like the opportunity to meet with teachers, please call the school!
Please read below regarding our updated Mask Policy. This week we are still all wearing masks. Next week, masks are still strongly recommended, but will be optional.
This past year we have been implementing a new reading program for grades K-2, called SUPER KIDS. The Super Kids Program aligns with the research, The Science of Reading (SOR). Our leadership team of teachers are also involved with a curriculum adoption for Reading for grades 3-8 and Math grades K-8, for next year. Please watch for an opportunity for parents to give us feedback to help us with our decisions!

Enjoy the warmer weather!
Be safe, kind, and responsible!

COVID-19 UPDATES
- Reminder on 3/21 NMFA mask policy has been updated for all students and staff.
Student Expectations:
We ask that you have a conversation with your child about your expectations of masking at school and prepare your children for other families making different decisions. It is important to know that no matter the decision, please know that families will make different decisions that are different from other family decisions.
Staff Masking:
Staff will be making their own decisions as well. Please know that teaching in a mask has been incredibly different for the past two years. It is important that we also withhold judgment of staff deciding to continue to mask or unmask. Optional is optional and personal reasons are to be respected for all.
Gentle reminder: March 14th - March 18th masks are required for all students and staff. Starting March 21st masks are optional for all students and staff at NMFA and on transportation.
