Welcome to Gmail!
On February 1, 2016, the district email system was officially switched from Exchange (nbps.k12.nj.us) to Gmail (nbpsnj.net). All emails, contacts, and calendars pertaining to your email account have been migrated to your Gmail account. REMEMBER the following links are available for those interested in seeking additional information on Gmail or Google Calander:
