Principal's message - week 4
Greetings North Plains Families!
Well the expected growth is definitely happening! We are up to 373 at this point, (we ended last year at 332), and expecting more. I've been given the go ahead to hire a teacher, but at this point am not sure if it will fix the 1/2 split or have to be a 3rd kindergarten class. I won't decide for sure until next week as I expect more registrations to come in.
The meet and greet is set for next Wed., Aug. 30, from 5 - 7PM. This is a time to drop off supplies for grades 1-6 only! Kinder parents, please do not bring supplies because we will not have placed students in classes yet. Also, you will be able to meet the kindergarten teachers, but obviously you sill won't know which teacher your child will have!
I made a mistake and deleted my old remind account, so if you want to be on my list, please use the following link to resign up! https://www.remind.com/join/ge3cf8 I do apologize for the inconvenience!
I will continue to provide this link to our school supplies for those who haven't had a chance to look! http://tinyurl.com/npes-supply1718update1
Just as I have the last 2 weeks, I've added some pics below from my trip this summer. Enjoy the rest of your last 2 weeks and I'll see you soon!

Every Week:
We have a really fun fundraiser that happens each fall called "Glow Golf" and this year it's at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Course! If you would like to volunteer, we will be sending out a sign up at a later date, but if you would like to PLAY, please see the brochure on the following link http://tinyurl.com/npes-GlowGolf2017 This is a super fun event and brings in quite a bit of money for us (Thank you Joanna Mehaffey at Columbia Bank!) which we will be using to purchase more chrome books and increase our STEM opportunities next year. I hope you can join us on Friday, Sept. 8.
