PARENT NEWSLETTER - APRIL 2020
A Note from Mrs. Hausmann:
I'm not sure how all of you are feeling about this situation we are currently in, but I want to assure you - however you're feeling - it's OK, you're not alone! This is new, different, unprecedented, scary, uncertain, daunting, overwhelming... the list goes on and on.
I want to let you know that the staff at Montessori and NPS have been phenomenal! Everyone has been eager to serve and do whatever is needed to meet the anticipated needs of our students. With that being said, if there is something that your child needs that we haven't thought of or provided, please contact us. We take pride in being a resource for the families in our community. We have servant hearts and we are ready to serve. I am linking resources to this newsletter that may be helpful, but please do not hesitate to call or email if you need anything.
Please stay safe, practice social distancing, and think positive thoughts.

Wednesday, April 8 - Home Learning Packet and Student Personal Items Pick Up Day
NPS understands that students learning at home and experiencing social distancing is a big change for families. It is our hope to provide you with some helpful hints and to clarify expectations. Each home has its own unique schedule due to a variety of family dynamics. It is understandable and acceptable to realize that continued learning may look very different from your neighbor’s house.
Wednesday, April 8, 2020:
Elementary buildings personal items and instructional paper packet pick up and school issued items drop off:
- 10:00 a.m.- noon & 1:00 p.m. - 3:00 p.m. @ Lincoln Montessori
- No students, or their families, will be allowed in the building.
- When you drive up we will ask your child's name and teacher and someone will bring out your child's items which will be in a clear garbage bag. The bag will include their personal belongings as well as their next home learning packet.
- When returning school issued items from home (library books, etc.), please bring the items in a plastic bag, tied shut, with the student’s name on the outside of the bag.
- NPS is NOT collecting paper back to the school. Please attempt to share student work electronically, for example, submit a picture in seesaw or email.
