CONNECTICUT CHILDREN'S PAJAMA DAY

On Monday, December 8th all staff and students are invited to wear pajamas to support children at the Connecticut Children's Foundation. The Student Council is asking for anyone that wears pajamas to donate a dollar or more to send to the hospital. Homeroom teachers will collect the donations. We encourage everyone to donate at least one dollar to help support medical research and treatments to children in need during the holiday season. Your generosity goes a long way!

Middle School Progress Conferences (formerly known as Parent Teacher Conferences) will be held in person on December 10, 11, and 12. These will be early release days for students. On Monday, December 1st, you will receive notification via Parent Square to sign up. Please plan to meet with your child’s Core 1 and/or Core 2 teacher. Grade 8 families may also get an invite from the Core 3 teacher. You may also choose to meet with an Encore teacher or Academy teacher (if applicable). 

Please sign up before December 8th. Please include your child’s first and last name in the note section. If you would like to request a virtual conference, please include a note in ParentSquare so that the teacher can provide you with a link. If you need assistance with ParentSquare, please visit www.bit.ly/NPSparentsquare.

As a reminder, you can access your child’s grades in PowerSchool at any time.
