Principal's Message
I am having a hard time believing that it is May! The past seven weeks have flown by and passed so slowly, all at the same time. On Wednesday, May 6, we will have our final packet pick-up. Please stop by and grab these last packets. The teachers will not be able to attend because we are trying to avoid cross-contamination and they have been working from home already. The support staff and I will be here and ready for you to stop by though!
I look forward to seeing all of you, one last time before the end of the school year.
Mrs. Baumann
Packet Pick Up
Please mark it on your calendar!
Virtual Spirit Week
Next week is also Staff Appreciation Week. This is a great opportunity for you to email or message your teacher on SeeSaw and tell them how much you appreciate them! Maybe you could record your message on a parents phone and send that to your teacher! They would love to hear from you.
Elementary Summer School
Due to the uncertain times and recommendations from the Nebraska Department of Education Commissioner, Norfolk Public Schools will not be holding summer school, as originally planned. We believe this action is necessary, as the health and safety of all involved is highest priority.
Students originally qualified for this program based upon their current classroom performance, assessment results, and teacher recommendation. If you had made the $20 payment for summer school, you will receive a refund from the NPS Business Office.
Norfolk Public Schools is designing a summer opportunity to meet the requirements of the Nebraska Reading Improvement Act. If your child meets the requirements of the Nebraska Reading Improvement Act, you will be contacted by the school within the next week.
Report cards will be mailed home on May 21 and will include ideas for summer learning at all grade levels.
Prime Time Family Reading Time - Summer!
This program is sponsored by Humanities Nebraska and the Norfolk Noon Optimists. A registration form will be included in your students learning packet on May 6. You can also click below to print a copy.
