Coffee with the Principal
Starting in November I would like to hold once a month informal chat sessions with parents and community members.

Our first chat session will be Thursday November 16th from 9:15-10:15am.
Future Dates:
December 21, 2023

Parent Liaisons
Please see the letter below from our Parent Liaisons:
Dear Parents,
NPS, through our Strategic Plan, has looked for creative ways to engage families in their child(ren)’s education(s). Part of that focus has led to the creation of Family & Community Engagement Liaisons at each of our schools.
Northbridge Elementary School - Sharyn Tritone (stritone@nps.org)
Northbridge Middle School - Tina Wildfeuer (twildfeuer@nps.org)
Northbridge High School - Tina Wildfeuer (twildfeuer@nps.org)
The role of your parent liaisons is to serve as a bridge of communication between NPS parents, staff and students. One goal of the parent liaison is to provide parents with practical information on how to support their child(ren) through their studies and social interactions. They strive to be resourceful in providing useful and valuable materials relating to questions, concerns and/or issues within our school community.
And they serve as a listening ear in an effort to help direct you as you work to resolve matters that may arise.
The Liaisons have created a website that is designed with parents and guardians in mind. Please visit: https://sites.google.com/nps.org/parentpartnership/home for access to important parent-related links and information.
Your Liaisons always welcome your thoughts and feedback, and are honored to help you when needed. Should the need arise, please feel free to contact them through the Contact My Liaison form found on the Family & School Partnership website linked above.
