NPA Family Update
December 6, 2021
Greeting NPA Families
This communication includes information about your student's assignment sheet and other relevant NPA happenings. The week of January 17 marks the end of the first semester. All grades will be final and credits will be finalized at that point. Parents/Guardians/Caregivers are asked to attend either the last meeting of the first semester or the initial week of the second semester.
This week all students are completing assignment sheet #4 and will be receiving assignment sheet #5. Completion of the sheet at the last meeting of the assignment sheet is considered positive attendance. Average Daily Attendance (ADA) at an independent study = work completion. Your student should have earned 15 days of attendance. How did your student do this assignment sheet?
Assignment sheet #5 given this week, has 10 days of ADA. The sample shown below is a Wednesday student. Please ask to see your student's new assignment sheet after the teacher meeting this week.
As usual, NPA parents/guardians/caregivers are welcome at any student meeting. Let us know if you need any assistance.
