Curriculum Nights

Please make it a priority to attend your child’s Curriculum Night. This is an important opportunity to meet your child’s teacher, find out about the instructional focus for your child’s grade level, and learn about our school-wide focus and goals. This year, Curriculum Nights will be held in-person and WILL BEGIN IN THE CAFETERIA. We appreciate your attendance in our shared efforts to form a strong home-school partnership in support of each child achieving their greatest potential. *If you need an interpreter for Curriculum Night, please contact Kate Eicher, keicher@nsd.org

Cross Country will begin this month for students in grades 3-5. Your student will bring home registration and schedule information this week.  Practices will be on Monday mornings at 8:10am.  The first practice will be on September 18th.
