March - In like a LION and out like a LAMB!
Even though meteorological spring is here, winter sure continues to hold us in its firm grip! Please be sure your child is dressed appropriately for the weather forecast. If temperatures remain above 20 degrees, we WILL be going outdoors for recess.
Even though it may be chilly, our students still need to get outside and enjoy the fresh air and some exercise. Please remember, children respond differently to the elements than adults so please take extra care and ensure your child has appropriate winter clothing and accessories to keep them safe during winter recess.
Partners in education,
Mrs. Kristin Reingruber, Principal
Dr. Carla Braun, Assistant Principal

Fit with Family!
Calling all #FitWithFamily photos! For March's Fitness themed PE bulletin board, Miss Gradman is looking for photos of your family being active together. Did you run the Howl through the Hills together? Family bike rides? Sledding or skiing photos?
If you have any photos you think would work for our March #FitWithFamily theme, please send them to Miss Gradman so your family can be highlighted on the bulletin board in the APR! Photos can either be sent in with your child, emailed to dgradman@npd117.net, or tag @MissG_PE on twitter so they can be printed out.

Winter Weather Reminders
Just a reminder for our families who drop off and pick up children, our arrival and dismissal procedures are put in place not only for efficiency, but for the safety of you, your child, and our staff members. We ask that, when a staff member approaches your car, please have your child safely and quickly exit the vehicle. Additionally, the children will continue to walk along the area between the curb and the orange cones so they can avoid stepping through the snow and mud while exiting/entering your vehicle.
The cold temperatures and the snow are hopefully not here for much longer, but don't forget about the Frosty Five! When we have accumulated snow, the children who wear snow pants, boots, hats, gloves and warm coats will be permitted to play in the snow during recess time. Children who do not have those items will play on the blacktop area only - so they don’t get wet or dirty.
