Message From the Principal
North Tapps Middle School has two fundraisers coming up to help raise funds for their 8th grade graduation celebration. The first one is scheduled for Thursday, May 12 at Menchies, across the parking lot from Haggen. From 12:00pm - 9:00pm, 20% of your purchase will be donated to the middle school for the fundraiser. You must tell them that you are supporting the North Tapps Middle School fundraiser. The second fundraiser will be held on May 23 at Mod Pizza. More information will be sent out about the Mod Pizza fundraiser at a later date. Mark your calendars to help our middle school give our 8th graders a fun graduation celebration!
The final nomination window for identification for HiCap for all current students opens on June 1 and closes on June 10th. The link will go live on our DSD website on June 1st. Teachers and parents may nominate and submit documents during this window. Evaluations will take place June 13-17th for all students who have completed nomination packets.
Have a wonderful weekend!
Sincerely,
Pat Webster--Head Learner

Character Word For May -- Cooperation
During May, we will be focusing on the character word, "Cooperation."
Cooperation means working together to reach the same end or goal.
"What a child can do in cooperation today, he can do alone tomorrow."
Lve Vygotsky
"If there is not cooperation, it means that we don't understand one another."
