Dear NPE Community,

I hope this email finds you healthy and happy! We are looking forward to what appears to be some warmer temperatures this upcoming week.

Just a reminder - later this month there is a change to the school calendar, as a result of the accumulation of snow days. March 20th will now be a half-day for students with a 12:00 PM dismissal time. This day was previously listed a full day teacher in-service. AM kindergarten will be in session from 8:45 AM through noon. There will be no school for PM kindergarten.

Conferences - The sign-up links are now live and will be available through this upcoming Friday, March 13 at 4:00 PM. You can sign-up by clicking the link with your child(s) teacher's name.

I hope you are able to join us at our monthly PTO meeting which will be held tomorrow, Tuesday, March 10 at 7:00 PM in the NPE library.

Best wishes for a wonderful week.

Fondly,

Mr. Heinle

Charting the Life Course: It is important for families and caregivers to understand and to plan for what happens as students with disabilities move from school-age special education services into the adult service system. This is a work session for families to explore how to use the Charting the Life Course tools. Charting the Life Course is a framework that helps families and professionals identify strengths, needs, and supports for individuals of all ability levels so they can build a meaningful, self-directed life.

Presenter: Regina Hollis, Kristin Dunning, various agency representatives
