Week 26 - 3/21/2019: Monthly PBIS focus is Independence
Bingo night was a great time for all! Thank you again to Ryan Kind for chairing the event! See the pictures below of some of the fun:)
Our next PBIS assembly will be April 8 at 8AM where students who demonstrated "Independence" will be recognized with shining stars. With any luck, our mascot Shadow Hawk will make an appearance to congratulate these amazing students!
The district kinder fair for the Glencoe Feeder is at Lincoln St. Elementary on April 4 from 6-8PM. Our kinder orientation for NPES is April 23 at 5:30 PM. The difference in the two is that at the district fair there are a bunch of resources for people to see and learn about, and usually the district Student Resource Officers and the fire department show up. It's a lot of fun, for the kids, but pretty crowded. I hope families will come to both, or if they choose one they will come to ours here at NPES. I really need good numbers for enrollment as it effects our staffing for fall. Each year I've been here we've had to reconfigure classes in the fall and I would REALLY like to not have to do that again! Thank you for helping get the word out to families with incoming kinders!
I know the 6th grade students are having a great time at outdoor school, I've got just a few photos to share below:)
State testing is just around the corner and we are doing things a bit differently this year! Teachers are excited for the new plan and I think kids will be too. I'll send out the schedule soon, but in a nutshell, students will only have 4 days of testing, (5 for 5th grade with Science), doing one test on each of the four days. I'll give you much more info very soon, but the first class starts on April 29!
Hoping for some decent weather this weekend:)
